Andrei Lankov in Belgrade: Why Russia Will Never Become North Korea

ANDREI LANKOV is coming to Belgrade!

"WHY RUSSIA WILL NEVER BECOME NORTH KOREA?"

Moderator

Vadim Savitsky - author of the channel Cognitive Supervision

North Korea has long become something of a political meme in the mass consciousness — a grotesque symbol of a "perfect dictatorship," an omnipresent and all-pervasive state. Many see it as a frightening prediction of the future: that other countries — especially Russia — might one day follow its path.

But this is a myth. Russia will never become North Korea. And not because we are "better" or "worse," but because the North Korean model is the result of a unique and non-reproducible historical confluence of circumstances. It is not exported and cannot be copied, no matter how much some might wish to think otherwise.

In the lecture, we will thoroughly examine:

• 🇰🇵 where this illusion came from — and why it is so popular;
• 🇰🇵 the current structure of North Korea, the myths surrounding it;
• 🇰🇵 how Russia's path radically differs from that of the DPRK.
