Walter Duranty
Walter Duranty (1884–1957), born in Liverpool, England, won a Pulitzer Prize in 1932 for a set of stories he wrote in 1931 as The New York Times Moscow correspondent, covering Joseph Stalin's Five-Year Plan to industrialize the Soviet Union. The award of the Pulitzer Prize to him has become afterward controversial, largely due to Duranty's reporting on the Ukrainian famine in 1933.
