Der Autor erzählt die Geschichte des walisischen Journalisten Gareth Jones bis zu dessen frühem Tod im Jahr 1935. Jones, 1905 geboren, arbeitete unter anderem als Politikberater für den ehemaligen Premierminister Großbritanniens, David Lloyd George. In den Jahren 1930 und 1931 unternahm er seine ersten beiden Reisen in die Sowjetunion. Auf der dritten Reise 1933 stand er zwar nicht mehr bei George in Diensten, gab sich aber weiterhin als dessen Mitarbeiter aus. Das brachte ihm eine Reiseerlaubnis ein, als andere Journalisten Moskau nicht mehr verlassen durften. Somit ist Jones der erste und im Prinzip auch der einzige westliche Beobachter, der sich zu jener Zeit in der Ukraine aufhielt und die unsäglichen Schrecken des Holodomors mit eigenen Augen sah. Umgehend nach seiner Ausreise berief er in Berlin eine Pressekonferenz ein und schilderte, was er erlebt hatte: Terror und eine schreckliche Hungersnot. In der Sowjetunion wurde er daraufhin zur Persona non grata erklärt. Auf Druck der Behörden mussten sich die in Moskau akkreditierten Auslandskorrespondenten von ihm distanzieren - er wurde mundtot gemacht. 1935 in Mandschuko entführt, wurde er höchstwahrscheinlich vom sowjetischen Geheimdienst ermordet. Die Begegnung mit dem walisischen Journalisten, heißt es, habe George Orwell zu der Fabel Farm der Tiere inspiriert. Gareth Jones ist ein Buch über den Journalismus in Zeiten des Totalitarismus. Es ist die Geschichte eines jungen Menschen, der den Mut hatte, die Wahrheit über die Situation in der Ukraine öffentlich auszusprechen.

Best place for head
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
Do you love not getting sleep and sweating all over your pillow at night when you are asleep? If so then don't buy this pillow! If you want a good nights sleep and cool pillow like me this is the one. Ive always been ehh towards spending so much on a pillow but its 100% worth it, I sleep so much better and it forms to my head and keeps me cool at night. Great support even for my big head and comes with a bag of extra stuffing if you want to have a little more firmer pillow. Highly recommend

Oversized
Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White
I have chronic neck pain. I am forever buying new pillows. Sometimes I think I found the perfect pillow but then three months later they’re losing their loft. I thought I would give these pillows to try since the stuffing is removable. Now these pillows are really oversized. To the point where I thought that they had sent me king-size pillows but I double checked the packaging and they were Queen. I ended up having to buy king-size pillowcases for them because they just barely fit in the queen size and the pillowcases would always end up pulling back from the edge. So that’s a negative one star there. Now I’ve been sleeping on these pillows for a while and they have held up well. I did end up removing some of the stuffing because it was just too much. I’m a side sleeper and when I use this pillow, it does a good job of keeping my neck in alignment. However, the pillow tends to migrate up as I sleep. Or I tend to slip down off the pillow, either or. So that’s why I’ve removed a second star. Maybe if I removed more stuffing that wouldn’t happen, but then I feel like the loft would be too little. I will say that these provide great support when sitting up in bed reading or watching TV. So would I buy them again? Probably not. Am I going to keep using them? Yes

Comfortable and stays cool
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Great pillow. When i opened it, i noticed a strange smell, i assumed its the smell of whatever they use to make the pillow stay cool. You have to fluff it for a good amount of time to make sure the cooling agent spreads well in the foam. Is what i assumed atleast. Its a perfect amount of softness for me. Pair it with some bamboo pillow cases and you got a good night of sleep

Comfortable and Supportive, but Adjust the Filling
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I’m very happy with this pillow. The size is big and it feels soft while still providing good support, perfect for midnight scrolling on TikTok. One thing to keep in mind is that it can feel a little too tall if you use all of the filling that comes with it. The good news is that you can easily adjust the amount of filling to find the height that works best for your sleeping position. Once I customized it, it was much more comfortable. Overall, great quality, comfortable, and worth the purchase.
