They expel tourists and prepare a beard bread with coal: Russian people told about vacation at the resort in the DPRK

Russian tourists saw the advertising of the resort of Vonsan-Kalma and admitted that they could never think that it was in North Korea, because in photos this place could compete with European places for recreation. But the attractive picture was completely different in reality, told The Telepraph. "All the locals seemed so happy. They went, smiled, waved us with their hand, shot us on video, greeted us, and in general the mood about tourists was so positive," Natalia Fisher said.

Her words are questioned by the stories of the correspondent of the Russian edition "Komersant" Anastasia Dombitskaya, who traveled to the resort in the DPRK together with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov in mid -July. She question the fact that these friendly people are North Korean tourists because they were well -versed in Russian.

Dombitskaya noticed that the streets were practically deserted, and those people who were there repeated the same actions for a long time. Yes, one couple played billiards continuously during the day. "This couple did not even get the worst role - others had to portray the holidaymakers just under the scorching sun," the correspondent said.

She also noticed that one cyclist went up and down constantly, and a man on the veranda of one of the houses drank a glass of beer, which continued to remain complete. In general, the DPRK leader Kim Jong -in seems to have not justified his expectations. The North Koreans hoped to attract about a million visitors, but Russian Darius Polishchuk confessed that she saw only about 50. Polishchuk said that the guides were very friendly to Russian guests.

They tried to do their best to satisfy the tastes of the Russians, but some situations became comic because of the difficulty of translation. "They were probably told that the Russians love black bread, but they probably did not quite understand what black bread was. They took this bread, mixed it with activated charcoal and as a result received bread, which was literally black," the Russian said. Russian tourists were constantly accompanied by a tour as soon as they went beyond the hotel rooms.

They were also not allowed to talk to local residents and were forced to pay for restricted Internet access. In general, one of the Russians came to the conclusion that the DPRK is the embodiment of the USSR. "It really is reminiscent of the Soviet Union. You have to understand that there is still a cult of personality in Korea. Before all these statues, the locals bow to portraits of leaders, treating them with great respect," she said.

The Russian personality cult felt literally on themselves: when they were photographed with the group on the background of a statue or image of Kim Jong -in, the leader was to be completely visible. If some part of the frame was trimmed, they were forced to remove photos and take it again. We will remind, on July 28 the edition of The Sun told how the Russians were the first to arrive at the resort in the DPRK: their reviews were more interesting than the rest itself.
