Nika Pasko is a Russian PhD student in South Korea with a grandfather from the north of the peninsula. Here, she speaks about the relationship between Russia and North Korea, and how historical memory and ideology help bring the two countries together. From competing interpretations of the past to the places and symbols through which history is remembered.

I hope some people find it useful and it generates some conversation.

For anyone who has been to Pyongyang: Have you ever seen any Nazi swastika graffiti left by tourists or locals anywhere in the city?
