Later he worked as lecturer of English literature at Union Christian College in Alwaye (present-day Aluva in district of Kerala, India) and at Egyptian University in [[Cairo]]. In 1932-33 Muggeridge worked as correspondent for ''Manchester Guardian'' in [[Moscow]]. Here his idealistic views about [[communism]] suffered a death blow. He reported a triad of convincing articles about the [[famine]] in [[Ukraine]].
