Artemy Lebedev, a known Russian web designer, visited North Korea and posted his notes with pictures (in Russian, should not be an obstacle these days).

There are three more sections with the selector below.



My favourite NK blog is the trip in 2008 from Austria to North Korea via the unexpected route from Russia

To this day I direct people to read this whenever the topic of NK comes up. It’s so fascinating and feels like a bit of Internet lore to boot with how much it’s been passed around.


I find the interview with a North Korea specialist Lankov fascinating too (has English subs) https://youtu.be/C84bzu9wXC0?si=AsBKTh0gRyGsISms


> in Russian, should not be an obstacle these days

It blows my mind a tiny bit every time I translate something with GPT-4. It’s flawless!

Fascinating article, it explained a few things I didn’t get before. E.g.: the locals collect grass in bags to feed to rabbits.


As far as this particular article goes, there's also a language selector at the top right corner. Quite a few articles exist in both languages, likely translated by Artemy himself (who I gather is bilingual).
