A twisted tale of authoritarianism, Orwell, Ukraine, fake news and Trump
‘Mr. Jones’ screenwriter Andrea Chalupa has family ties to Ukraine stretching from the 1930s famine to the Trump impeachment — with ‘Animal Farm’ and Soviet propaganda sprinkled in

Ukraine being used as a pawn between super states will come as no surprise to anyone who went to school with Andrea Chalupa. By the age of 12, she was giving talks to her bewildered classmates about the Holodomor, the Ukrainian famine that killed between 3 million and 5 million people in the early 1930s.
Andrea and her sister Alexandra grew up in northern California hearing stories about how her family suffered under Joseph Stalin’s regime and survived World War II.
“I knew as a child that there was widespread cannibalism in Ukraine, that when a mother was driven mad by hunger, she ate her own children,” Andrea Chalupa. “All around me, people had never heard of it, and that really deepened the tragedy for me.”
Chalupa’s parents were born in refugee camps in 1945. Her grandfather Olexji had seen the Russian Revolution fought on his farm in Donbas, east Ukraine; survived the Holodomor; and was arrested and tortured in Stalin’s purges. To Andrea as a young girl, he was her hero.
“As children we all had that person who meant the world to us,” Chalupa said. “My grandfather would take me out for doughnuts and hot chocolate, and I would sing songs from ‘The Little Mermaid’ at the top of my lungs, and he thought I was amazing. He was my everything.
“When he died, it was my first big loss in life. I took a very long time to get over it.
