Whilst looking up something completely different I spotted that the Wikipedia entry for Malcolm Muggeridge attributes his being taken on as Moscow correspondent by the Manchester Guardian to a meeting with AR in Egypt.
Given the development of Muggeridge's views during his time in Russia, and his developing hostility to the Guardian, I would very much like to know if he stayed in contact with AR - could someone enlighten me?
This might provide a clue to the way in which AR became so acutely apolitical.
