(264) North Korean Heroes
(264) North Korean Heroes
No ideology can survive without a hero ― or, rather, a large number of heroes. Religions need martyrs, to be remembered for centuries, nationalisms cherish the fallen freedom fighters, and states create elaborate rituals to preserve the memory of selfless soldiers.

(263) Small Red Capitalists
(263) Small Red Capitalists
The last decade has seen the quiet collapse of Stalinism in North Korea. Yes, while the country's political structure still remains largely Stalinist, its economy has changed profoundly and perhaps irreversibly. This was not a result of some planned reforms: On the contrary, North Korea's 'economic Stalinism' died a natural death, being eaten away by the grass-roots capitalis...

(262) Goodbye Lenin, Hello Dangun
(262) Goodbye Lenin, Hello Dangun
The early communists were passionately internationalist and anti-nationalist. They sincerely believed that nationalism was a malicious creation of the ruling class and therefore could only exist in a doomed capitalist society.

(261) North Korean Weddings
Like most people who have some experiences with both North and South Korea, I cannot help but occasionally wonder at the similarities between the policies adopted by these two arch-rivals on particular questions. Actually, this is hardly surprising: both Korean states developed from the same cultural and social background, and both single-mindedly pursued a goal of high-speed...

(260) Kim Il-sung University
The year 1946 was marked by many firsts in Korean history. The newly independent country (or two emerging countries) was busily acquiring the attributes of nationhood, from road police to a customs service, from an army to a health-care system.

(259) North Korea’s Symbols
(259) North Korea’s Symbols
Every state must have its anthem, flag, and coat of arms - or must it? This package, now taken for granted, became the worldwide standard only about a century ago, when European habits and traditions began to spread across the globe.

(258) Prisoners of Korean War
Perhaps no problem generated by the Korean War caused so much argument and excitement as the "prisoners' question." The plight of Westerners who found themselves guests of the Communists remained a much discussed topic for years after the war was over.

(257) North Korean Policy During China-USSR Feud in 1960s
(257) North Korean Policy During China-USSR Feud in 1960s
By 1965 it appeared that North Korea had joined a small number of Communist countries in siding with Mao's China in its quarrel with the USSR. The relations between Moscow and Pyongyang were at an all time low. Pyongyang delegates attending international conferences were eager to express their solidarity with Mao's China. The DPRK media openly criticised Moscow and extolled B...

(256) Trip of a Lifetime to NK by Ethnic Koreans in Japan
(256) Trip of a Lifetime to NK by Ethnic Koreans in Japan
By the late 1970s, an estimated 95,000 ethnic Koreans from Japan had moved to the North for good. Even though they did not realize this at the time, for them this was a trip of no return. Once in the North, they would never again be allowed to go overseas.

(254) Korean War and Chinese Fortune-telling
On the morning of June 25, 1950, the Chinese leaders were told that communist North Korea, had launched a surprise attack against the capitalist South. They learned about this turn of events literally from the media specifically from reports from foreign wire services.
