Kim Jong-un is alive, but walks with a cane

The leader of the North Korean labor people, Kim Jong-un, did not appear in public for more than a month. Analysts have decided: either Comrade Kim is seriously ill and is about to die, or there was a military coup in the DPRK due to a severe economic crisis, and the main conductor of the Juche idea was shot dead. A strange version was also used: allegedly Kim Jong-un disappeared to attract the attention of the world community to his country. All this speculation. October 14 North Korea leader showed up at an elite hospital in Pyongyang.

Recall that the young leader of the North Korean people disappeared from the public view of 3 September. The latest news reports about his appearance in public noted that he was present at the concert of the rock band "Moranbong Band", where, as usual, he smoked cigarettes and made a speech. Observant people noticed, however, that the leader was limping. Other observant people reviewed the summer videos with the same character and came to the conclusion: he has been lame since summer. Still others announced that Kim was terribly fat, looked terrible and suspected that he had diabetes.

In late September, North Korean television broadcast that Kim Jong-un was experiencing "discomfort."

October 13 "BBC" a long article was published by John Swenson-Wright, head of the Asian program at Chatham House. The scientist noted that the DPRK leader did not appear in public during 38 days, which caused a whole wave of assumptions about the political stability of the North Korean regime.

Kim Jong-un did not appear at the most important official events: 1) Day of the Proclamation of the DPRK (September 9); 2) celebration for the founding of the Korean Labor Party (October 10).

Due to the fact that the official information agencies of the DPRK reported on the leader’s poor state of health, foreign experts attributed to Kim Jong Un a whole range of diseases: from diabetes, gout, ankle injuries and to problems with the endocrine system and internal organs.

Other analysts developed ideas about a coup in the DPRK: Kim Jong-un is under house arrest, where he was planted by elderly representatives of the party and military elite, dissatisfied with the constant purges and executions, and the inability of the too young leader to lead the country out of a protracted economic crisis. Do not like his opponents and the isolation of the DPRK in the international arena and the sanctions that deprive the top of access to imported luxury goods and the ability to skate abroad.

At the same time, “the strongest argument” in favor of the fact that such a coup is unlikely, the expert calls “the fact of the absence of a successor to Kim Jong-un.” The domination of the Kimov dynasty is such that there are no candidates for the post of a new leader in the country. Two brothers Kim Jong-un? But one of them has been expelled abroad, and the other has a feminine character and uses amphetamines. Maybe the younger sister is Kim Yo Jung? This expert also considers it “extremely unlikely”, since a woman can hardly claim to be a leader in a state where men dominate in society.

The version about the coming to power of the young sister of the leader has spread, add to this, in the Western press one of the first.

Western analysts have issued a hypothesis about the transfer of power in the DPRK to the Directorate for the organization and development of the Labor Party of Korea. This powerful structure is headed by the chief of the GPU of the North Korean army, Hwang Ben So. Kim's younger sister, 26-year-old Kim Yo Jeong, allegedly shares power with him. This version seemed pretty convincing to many: after all, the "girl" was not alone at the helm.

Victor Beatty ("Voice of America") cites an opinion voiced by 12 in October on the program “Meet the Press” on NBC television by US National Security Advisor Susan Rice. She was asked: does she believe that Kim Jong-un is still the leader of North Korea?

“Of course, we are closely following everything that is happening in North Korea,” said S. Rice. - This is a country for which we are very closely watching. At the moment we have not revealed in the DPRK any signs of transfer of power that could be considered unconditional. However, we continue to closely monitor the situation. "

Previously said nothing special, and the State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. According to her, the “secretive” North Korean regime provides little information.

Voice of America also cites the opinion of the Vice-President of the Korean Society, Stephen Norper. “Earlier,” said Mr. Norper, “Kim Jong-un has twice disappeared from public view twice. His father (Kim Jong Il) and grandfather (Kim Il Sung), who also ceased to appear in the press and media for a long time, did the same thing. In part, this is an attempt to make everyone guess: what is happening? ”The expert admits that something could happen to Kim Jong-un, although analysts find it difficult to say what it is.

12 October Nezavisimaya Gazeta An article by Vladimir Skosyrev "Kim Jong-un asked a mystery to the Americans."

The analyst recalls that the North and the South of Korea "shot on Saturday in the direction of each other across the demarcation line." No one was hurt, but this incident gave rise to a new wave of speculation about the DPRK leader, who has disappeared from the eyes of the international community.

The launch of balloons with leaflets for northerners through the demilitarized zone from South Korea turned out to be a reason for mutual firing, the observer reminds. Propaganda materials are produced by activists of anti-communist groups. The North Korean soldiers tried to knock down the "presents", and then a "short skirmish" ensued.

South Korean newspapers suggested Kim Jong-un's disease, as well as gossip about a possible coup d'état.

The columnist brings the point of view of the American agency “Bloomberg”. It reported that for the first time after coming to power, Kim Jong-un did not visit the mausoleum on a memorable day, and a few hours later shots were fired.

Everything was clarified on October 14.

DPRK leader Kim Jong-un for the first time in forty days appeared in public, broadcast on the day TsTAK.

The North Korean leader inspected the construction of the area for scientists "Sputnik" and "gave the necessary instructions", the source quotes "Lenta.ru". It is noted that the residential area consists of 24 multi-storey buildings, schools, hospitals, kindergartens and buildings for social and cultural purposes. According to Kim Jong-un, the area looks "very attractive, it presents a fantastic picture."

Then the leader “visited the newly built Institute of Natural Energy Sources of the State Academy of Sciences”. The leader noted the work of builders who did everything qualitatively, as the party demanded. “Our scientists, who devote their whole lives to building a rich and powerful country, are under the care of the Labor Party. We must take care of scientists, ”said Comrade Kim.

Where did the leader of the working people disappear?

RBC with reference to Reuters, indicates that the North Korean edition of Rodong Sinmun has published photographs of Kim Jong-un visiting the constructed facilities. In the photographs, the DPRK head is captured with a black cane.

Earlier, the same Reuters agency, referring to an anonymous source close to the leadership of the DPRK, wrote that the leader’s disappearance was due to an injury to the ankle and knee: he had injured them during military exercises. Kim Jong Un takes about a hundred days to recover. The weight of the injury was overweight, an unnamed source added.

Finally, the French edition reported who had treated the leader of North Korea. Frenchman, of course.

The fate of Kim Jong-un is in the hands of a French doctor. This was reported by the publication "Le Point", citing the South Korean newspaper "Joongang Ilbo". Sources in the security services of South Korea reported that the reason for the disappearance of the DPRK leader was an operation performed by a surgeon from France, writes "Moscow Komsomol".

"Last month, the North Korean leader underwent surgery on both ankles at the Bongwa clinic in Pyongyang," say sources.

The named clinic is an analogue of the Soviet Central Clinical Hospital, indicates "MK". There are treated the highest state officials. Now Kim Jong-un is under rehabilitation under the supervision of a foreign doctor.

"MK" also notes that a source in the security services of South Korea dismissed the version of the coup in Pyongyang. But he said that the political consequences of Kim Jong-un's injuries are not excluded. Who knows whether the sole management of the state of Kim Jong-un will not be further restricted. No, it's not about overthrowing, but about the “more collegial management” of the country.

Analysts decided: either Comrade Kim is seriously ill and is about to die, or a military coup occurred in the DPRK due to a severe economic crisis, and the main conductor of Juche ideas was shot dead

How long was the father of all Turkmen Saparmurat Niyazov dead while his entourage shared power? How long was Hugo Chavez in a "coma" while his entourage was deciding who to rule Venezuela? How does Fidel Castro feel? Although, it is clear that he is at least alive. But this has already become such a sign - if the president of a free country has died, it becomes known immediately. And, here, if the next "leader" died, after him Photoshop rules. (c) comment on VO from 12 Oct.

Reminded: a very funny story of 1993 of the year when Roman Arbitman (a Saratov writer and satirist) printed a review of a book that did not exist, which was called “Necrocracy” and told that, supposedly, the corpses of the USSR, including Stalin and Brezhnev, ruled. That is, these rulers were long dead, but on their behalf with the help of special devices (sound recording, holograms, falsification of images) they ruled. Recommend!

May God grant you health!

There is almost nothing to eat in the DPRK, the country lives like the USSR in the 1950s, and the fat-faced leader studied in the West and loves 15-year-old whiskey. I watched a German documentary film so there in the DPRK going to the Pizza Hut pizzeria is akin to going to a fashionable restaurant, and a bundle of bananas for your son costs about a quarter of the salary of a "Soviet employee", and you want health. Can you move there for permanent residence if so nice DPRK?

[IAlex]

What for? We have already lived this way from 1991-2000 only under holy democracy and capitalism, when the salary was enough for two bags of potatoes, and we did not pay it for half a year. And by the way, the Pizzeria is not so bad, with us in the 9s McFacken was just a poorly achievable dream for so many grandmothers ... If oil falls off in price specifically, we will all be on friendly terms again.

[cerbuk6155]

I WATCHED you say a German film that there is nothing to eat, but the question is, who is helping the DPRK. None. Do it yourself and in isolation. And I watched a movie that in Kazakhstan there is nothing to eat, and crowds of people die like flies. It’s also a film, only American, and they say such things about Russia, Although the Russian liberals staged (WORLD) in the Donbas in MINSK, for which they need to be shot for a long time. Yes, we were simply distracted from the topic of the DPRK, where you say everything is bad, despite the multibillion-dollar infusions from Kazakhstan, Russia, Japan, the USA, etc. So, according to your DPRK, it is necessary to crush it and put it under the jurisdiction of the United States so that everything becomes good with them. Already Ukraine was given away and we got a cookie for this, which rolled under the bed about 20 years ago. DPRK in the Far East, the only country except maybe China, who will fight with Russia against the United States and its satellites. Or you have other friends there, JAPAN mother for example. What can we say about Novorossia, if Russia is drained with might and main, that there is no right, no right, the drain is complete, the liberal democrats have already arranged dances, but we will still see where they are. Our cause is just, victory will be ours.

the country lives like the USSR in 1950 years

The most prosperous years in the history of the USSR were 1940, 1952-53.
Only 1940 was erased from the memory of the older generation due to the war, and the beginning of 50 is remembered by all relatively well.


Only the DPRK is a non-chernozem country, there are almost no natural resources, plus the hereditary power that socialism generated, fused with the specific traditions of state building (monarchy).

And then, in general, the USSR?

[Aydar]

Moreover, now is not 1950 but 2014, if it is imperceptible.

[lukewarm]

Noticeable for people like you. By the way, the 50th is you comrade GAIDAR (did I translate the nickname correctly?) With some fright dragged here. How to send anyone to the DPRK for permanent residence fell as you usually say from the liberals on ... well, at least from this site Mr. Ahmak

[Uncle]

In the photo, the Eliseevsky store, in the window there are only bagels. I wonder why only bagels?

[RDS-1]

Because the department is bread, and the grocery store is not Eliseevsky. A quick googling reveals that the photo shows "Gastronome # 2 - lively trade in the bread department. Moscow, 1947". Pay attention to the date: only two years have passed since the Great Patriotic War ended, but food cards have already been canceled. Also, for self-development, you can google when similar measures were canceled in Europe and compare with the above date.

Information about the events of 1946-1947 as famine was first published in the USSR in 1988 in the History of the Peasantry, then only the catastrophic drought and the consequences of the war were named its causes. The monograph by V. F. Zima [1] argues in favor of the point of view on which the policy of the Soviet authorities became one of the main causes of hunger:



The Famine of 1946-1947 in the USSR it could not have been, since the state had sufficient grain reserves. One part, not the largest, was exported. During 1946-1948 export amounted to 5,7 million tons of grain, which is 2,1 million tons more than the export of three pre-war years. The other, the main part of the reserves was not used at all. In unsuitable warehouses, grain deteriorated so much that it was not suitable for consumption. According to incomplete estimates for 1946-1948. in the USSR as a whole, about 1 million tons of grain was completely cleaned up, which could be enough for many starving people.

There is data on 4,43 million tons of exports [2] for 1946-1948, and of the 1,23 million tons exported in 1946, at least 500 thousand tons were exported to France in the first half of the year — that is, before starvation began, and in 1948 (after its end) 2,59 million were exported. Thus, up to 1,4 million tons of grain were exported directly during the famine.

I watched a German dock movie so there in the DPRK a trip to a pizzeria A pizza hut is akin to a trip to a fashionable restaurant

Do not trifle, immediately refer to Novodvorskaya (the earth is glassy to her):

Just as I am completely not terrified of the trouble that happened with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But look, what kind of candy came from Japan. Just snickers. Seven in Tokyo, a liberal parliament is available. The game was worth the candle.

Compare the two Koreas - the southern one lives well, because sitting on the American financial needle, these are slaves in gold collars. To become a Nordic Cancer to become a Snickers? What can they arrange for us a "nuisance"?

I was thinking. And your nickname in honor of the punitive battalion? Or dad mom called honored?

[Echo]

This dandy will not hold on to power. It will be stuck, especially in the light of current events, when America climbs out of her skin to arrange another big war. They’ll knock this fat bass down, and in its place they will put the stubborn general, who will arrange first with Rubilovo with South Korea, and then with everyone else.

[Turik]

Bro, fortunately, there are few stubborn generals in the DPRK army. Most of them understand that you can’t get into Southerners with a bare ass - they have a huge technological and technological advantage.

Well, as for the barchuk, you are in vain - the real power in the country has long been with the party elite and the bureaucracy. Barchuk is only a living symbol of the "ghost of communism".
There is no point in pushing him - let him only sign the pieces of paper.

in the DPRK, going to a pizzeria A pizza hut is like going to a fashionable restaurant

I can reveal a great secret, but outside the cities of millionaires, in my native Russia, going to the pizzeria is practically impossible for the majority of the population.
I won’t praise Korea, it’s hard for them there, but there are things worth learning from, for example, morality in society, we have greatly lost this quality and we will not restore the code.

[kikume]

I’m not from a million-plus city, but going to the pizzeria is not a problem.

[lukewarm]

And I am a Crimean ... daughter of an officer. In a pizzeria, not everything is so simple. Like at mcdonalds. But jamon doesn't bother you? If you do not scratch?

[Soldier dusty]

Jamon is delicious ...

[Chifka]

Truly, like Karabas-Barabas, they revealed a secret of secrets! We are far from a millionaire, but a pizzeria, if not on every corner, then through the corner for sure. With pizza delivery, we celebrate half the holidays. And I do not think that we live in different Russia. Therefore, I sincerely sympathize that everything is so sad with you ...

Naschet the name of the "punitive battalion" I hasten to dispel your darkness, Mr. Kotakbas and inform you that this battalion is named after the settlement of the same name and the river (and they, in turn, can see the name of the historical distance from the Polovtsy and Pechenegs, for whom this area was known as the Wild Field ).
