Political Culture and Social Conflict in North Korea: Ideology (Part 2)

The attention of the middlebrow in the mass virtual culture on the post-Soviet space is artificially sharpened in three main zones of conflict tension: the foreign and domestic policy of US President D. Trump; the situation in Ukraine; and the threat of world stability in North Korea. Domestic social networks, various popular resources are filled with negative comments, provocations and other manipulative tools that form stereotypical thinking among Russians about North Korea. However, the North Korean reality is fundamentally different from the images distributed in the domestic and western electronic mass media space. The author's goal is to share his experience of personal observation of North Korean everyday realities and make a feasible contribution to the clarification of some topical issues of its ideology, military doctrine and social order from the point of view of culture and conflict analysis.
