The authorities in North Korea can kill their citizens even for the smallest trifles. In particular, when the main or second or third persons speak during a meeting, and someone in the hall falls asleep. It is known that at least one of the generals was shot for this.

The DPRK also monitors whether people mourn correctly, for example, on the anniversary of the death of leaders Kim Il Sung or Kim Jong Il. The first Ukrainian ambassador to the DPRK, Igor Litvin, told Channel 24 about this.

“When it comes to the anniversary of the death of Kim Il Sung or Kim Jong Il, everyone watches everyone to make sure they meet the standards. The standards are such that if there is sadness, you must be sad. You cannot pretend that you are not sad as you should be,” he said.

Pay attention!North Korea supplies Russia with its military. The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, Andrey Kovalenko, reported that the enemy may first use military from the DPRK to repel the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region.

The population of the DPRK is divided into categories

Igor Litvin noted that three programs are shown on TV in Pyongyang, where one is on in the evening, and the other two are on every other day. The screens there regret that supposedly such “bright people” as Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il have passed away, and so on.

You also can't wear blue jeans, because then a person is considered a “sycophant of capitalism.” In general, the streets in Pyongyang look as if there are very few people. Wide avenues with one, two, three cars, maybe a few motorcycles. There are no traffic lights. Model-looking traffic controllers stand at intersections.

All border guards have been given clear instructions that if any person from the DPRK tries to escape to South Korea, they are to be shot on the spot. This is so that everyone is scared and doesn't even think about doing it.

They divide their people into groups. There are privileged people who can live in Pyongyang. They call them “tomatoes.” The rest are divided into the middle class – “apples.” And the third category is “enemies”, people who have shown themselves negatively to the authorities, – explained the first ambassador of Ukraine to the DPRK.

In addition, in North Korea there is a formula for punishing three generations. That is, if a person did something “wrong”, he and his family are put in prison. They give birth to children there. The second and third generation must live in the same prison.
