"Dieses Video erinnerte mich daran, dass ein Land eigentlich von den Menschen, die in ihm leben, und nicht von den Politikern geprägt wird. Demokraten, Diktatoren und Extremisten jeglicher Couleur versuchen stets, ihre Macht zu sichern. Dabei sind die eigentlichen Machthaber die Menschen selbst. Und sie sind immer häufiger auch im Angesicht der Gefahr für das eigene Leben bereit, dafür zu kämpfen."

The pictures in this gallery are taken from two North Korean propaganda books purchased in China near the China-North Korean border in the late 1990s.
These images have been selected to demonstrate the major themes in the art of North Korea encountered by everyday people, including architecture, billboards and monuments, posters, and other art dedicated to the personality cults of the late Kim Il Sung and his son, Kim Jong Il, the current leader of North Korea.
Communist Propaganda in its most ominous form
The suicidal audacity of North Korean communist regime is simply astonishing. The meaning of text is pretty much the same on every poster:
"Bear this in mind, world. Those who mess with our great undertaking will become our target."

The goal of this site is to promote North Korean Studies by facilitating awareness of North Korean security, political, social, and historical issues. This is attempted by providing commentary and analysis on related events, and by acting as a portal to some of the most pertinent news, research, opinion, and organizations covering North Korea.
