In 1932, Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer Prize for a set of stories about the [[Soviet Union]] which were published in the ''[[New York Times]]''. These articles denied the famine which killed millions in Ukraine, known as the [[Holodomor]]. At the insistence of [[Joseph Stalin]] they misled the world about this genocide.  Amid growing [[conservative]] criticism of this award and a request for independent review by the ''New York Times'', Mark Von Hagen (Professor of Russian History at Columbia University), reviewed Duranty's work and declared that "For the sake of ''The New York Times''' honor, they should take the prize away."<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2003-10-22-ny-times-pulitzer_x.htm N.Y. Times urged to rescind 1932 Pulitzer], [[USA Today]]</ref>  However, the ''New York Times'' refused to relinquish the award and the Pulitzer Prize committee refused to rescind it.
