FDR established diplomatic relations with Moscow in 1933. It's been argued that if it wasn't for the lies Walter Duranty provided to New York Times readers about the famine in Ukraine, it wouldn't have happened. So what if Duranty gets hit by a streetcar, the Times publishes the truth about the famine, and FDR chooses not to establish relations with the Soviet Union? Would they be established during the war? or maybe much later during Detente?
