Amid Kim Jong Un’s barnstorming tour of Russia, the country’s propagandists have begun extolling the virtues of the hermit kingdom’s spartan lifestyle.
Russia is still reeling from Western sanctions, Ukrainian resistance against its invasion and Moscow’s pronounced lack of allies. During last week’s broadcast of the show “Full Contact,” State TV host Vladimir Solovyov, one of the most prominent mouthpieces for Putin’s regime,, state-controlled media is currently working to convince everyday Russians that instead of looking to the West, they should start emulating North Korea.
Mikheyev surmised: “The low living standards are both the weakness and the strength of North Korea! You can’t do to them what you could do to the people—and the elites—in the post-Soviet space that got hooked on what you have to offer. Elites in the post-Soviet space got used to eating good food and having sweet dreams, to keeping their money in [Western] banks. But these people don’t need anything! Well, maybe they do need it, but they don’t have anything.
Vityazeva watched the footage with stars in her eyes and then remarked that the audience looked clean, well-fed and had a healthy complexion—contrary to popular stereotypes about the North Korean population that lives on the verge of starvation. She tried to dissuade viewers from assuming that members of the audience were hand-selected and specially prepared.
During Friday’s broadcast of the program “Karnaukhov’s Labyrinth,” host Sergey Karnaukhov complained about the “hedonistic metamorphose” Soviet people underwent after the dissolution of the USSR. He argued that after the Soviet Union fell apart, its people ran to the West and all they found there was “cold emptiness and the smell of death.
