January 23, 2009 # 6:06 pm # North Korea # No CommentIt is yet another slow news day in North Korea, other than Kim Jong Il visiting a Chinese official (which proves Kim is not dead at least). So I decided to look around Google Images LIFE Magazine picture archives to see what I could find. I went nuts and tried to look for some interesting Cold War goodies. Yes. I am that bored.
Maybe some other stuff too. So here you have it, and enjoy yourself.
Korea
Red Premier Kim Il Sung (R fore) with group of uniformed Russian advisers. (November, 1950)
Russian housing at Kim Il Sung Univ. provided modern buildings for Communist faculty members. In forground are typical Korean huts. The univ. gave Korean youth the same indoctrination Russian students get. (November 1950) Hmm, Maybe KISU is in the background. All the same, it is pretty odd to see all the dirt when it was all replaced by cold concrete.
N. Korean Peoples Army Commander-in-Chief Kim Il Sung speaking, framed by portrait of Soviet ldr. Stalin. (1953) Kind of odd to see Stalin even though I do know Kim Il Sung was installed by Stalin, and followed Stalin. Later, as we all know, all traces of Stalin were gone and replaced with himself.
Old Korean woman squatting down amid rubble, pausing in her search for salvageable materials in ruins of Seoul during Korean War. (November 1950)
China
Albania
Delegate Enver Hoxha of Albania addressing plenary session of UN-sponsored Foreign Ministers’ peace conf. (Oct. 10, 1946)
Soviet Union
The Big Three
…and the list goes on and on. Some names that were not found like Nicolae Ceaușescu. Anyway, mabe you folks can find them.
