Why aren't Western Scholars interested in Soviet history? - Part III

Further to this post about the shocking lack of interest in documents from the Soviet era among Western scholars, and this one about an author who did tackle some of the Soviet archives, over opposition from the Western establishment:

A video concerning various murderous socialist systems. The murders in Ukraine started with Lenin, but got much worse during Stalin's reign. Gives you a terrible glimpse of the atrocities covered up by Walter Duranty, writing for the New York Times.   Due to his prestige, he was able to counter the true reports by other journalists.  And he received a Pulitzer Prize for his massive lies. The New York Times continues to refuse to relinquish the prize.

Observation from the video: Both the Soviet and Nazi ideologies and programs had as a goal the evolution of "the new man". Nazi ideology was based on false biology, Soviet ideology on false sociology.

An idea whose time has come: Victims of Communism Day
