The Awards Of Kim Il-Sung.

***CtahhR*** · 07-19-2012, 04:02 PM

I've spent some time looking for his Soviet citations but to no avail. I've tried his real names, pseudonyms and Russian/Korean variations - Nothing.

Not only is it almost impossible to research the reality of what he was awarded but seeing them in wear is out of the question.

Got this freshly off Pyongyang!

Haven't seen this before either, so...

Anyone else having a sudden urge of getting these kind of glasses?

That doesn't really give us too much to go on, other than the DPRK really love their photoshop.

The picture isn't even clear enough to be certain if they are Hero Of Republic or Hero Of Labour stars.

I know, but it's a nice addition. It looks like it's in the 90's, so I don't think He was awarded "any" more hero-stuff than this.

Any news on the list of his awards? OK, I can guess the answer, but I just wanted to ask.

I've only gotten the response that it is huge and not quite, well, under control. Some department is getting the full list, but I haven't really set it to real time priority... ;)

We probably won't get it in a while, until I go over there and bring it home myself... But better late than never, aye?

I would expect the very first award may well have been the Soviet Medal "For Victory Over Japan".

As "Eternal President" doesn't he still get all the latest commemoratives from the state too?
