Kim Il Sung: Leader by Chance

North Korea is one of the most closed societies in the modern world. Since 1945, it has been ruled by members of one family. It is under the total control of the ruling regime; almost all its citizens are forbidden access to the internet. All legal incoming streams of information are subject to strict censorship. The borders are closed, and leaving the country is impossible without special permission. Finally, all citizens must demonstrate love and loyalty to the ruling family; otherwise, they face imprisonment or even the death penalty. And this entire system was built by the founder of North Korea, Kim Il Sung. Who was this man - the chief architect of one of the most stable dictatorial regimes of our era? A man who maintained the Stalinist system in his country decades after Stalin's death? A man who is still revered almost like a living god?
