I must apologise - I have not read Brogan. What strikes me is that Muggeridge, a younger man, must have gone to Moscow as Ransome's "protege" at the Guardian, and his disillusionment when he unearthed the true nature of the regime must have been an awful shock. Evidently he did communicate this to Ransome, and that seems to me to explain the lengths to which Mr and Mrs Ransome went to distance themselves from politics.
