Kim Jong -un: from rocket to university

The North Korean dictator was shown Aurus, promised space, served ear and sorbet. Now he is waiting in Vladivostok

The DPRK leader looked at the Vostochny cosmodrome in the Amur Region and goes to Vladivostok to look at the Far Eastern Federal University. It is strange that it is not vice versa - it would be more logical to decorate the Eastern Economic Forum with its arrival, which ended on September 13 in the Primorsky capital. In addition, from the first persons of the states there was one Putin (no one would distract attention from Kim Jong -un), and there were no “objectionable” journalists at all (no one would distract his attention with stupid issues).

On September 12, early in the morning, Kim Jong -un was met by the Minister of Natural Resources Alexander Kozlov and the governor of Primorye Oleg Kozhemyako at the Khasan station on the border of the DPRK and Primorye. It would seem that not the highest company for the head of state. But, they say, a short meeting of the suns of the North Korean and Russian nations still took place on the same day at the negotiation house in Vladivostok. It is known for certain, however, that Putin spent most of the day at the WEF, where he took part in the plenary meeting with Laos Pani Yathota vice president. He quickly reached the cosmodrome through the air - but for North Korean leaders this way of movement is not in honor. So Kim Jong-un at the premium armored train arrived at the Vostochny Cosmodrome railway station only on the afternoon of September 13.

At the gates of the installation and test body of launch vehicles, Putin met Kim as a younger relative. In response to the respectful joyful “hello” of the North Korean guest, the Russian owner answered the fatherly “Hello!” - And he first led to show his Aurus (Kim rides in Russia on his own - he brought an unremarkable Maybach limousine with an armored train), and then the place where the missiles are made.

Both Putin’s car, and the assembly workshop of the Angara space complex, the North Korean leader clearly liked it.

- This is another class of missiles. This is a completely new, modern rocket. If that missile was semi -automatic, then this is fully automatic, - the leaders of the plant enlightened. - In our country, the Angara light class missiles have been created.

Kim is interested in the diameter, transportation during launch, examines the starting complex "Soyuz-2", the power belt, the refueling column, the service cab, the Angara complex under construction. It is pleased to listen to the story about signs (such as going around the missile counterclockwise at the start - this tradition is laid down by Sergey Pavlovich Korolev and, as you know, helps today's managers to develop the country's space industry).

By the way, at the same time as Kim Jong -un listened to information about cosmic missiles, the DPRK launched a ballistic missile. Towards the Sea of ​​Japan.

It is already known that it fell outside the exclusive economic zone of Japan.

What is exactly clear according to the results of the meeting. The Russian will help the DPRK build satellites (Vladimir Putin promised). The DPRK will help Russia in the struggle against imperialism (promised Kim Jong -un). The banks raised toasts for strengthening friendship and cooperation (suggested by Vladimir Putin) and for turning friendly relations into indestructible relations, strategic cooperation, strengthening friendship, Putin’s health and “new victories of Great Russia” (suggested by Kim Jong-Yn, for some reason read this wishes for a piece of paper). Perhaps a representative of the DPRK will be sent to space.

Negotiations concerned issues of economic interaction, humanitarian nature, the situation in the region, said the President of Russia. According to him, after negotiations, the North Korean leader will go to Komsomolsk-on-Amur “Inspect” plants for the production of civil and combat aircraft. And after that - back to Vladivostok.

In the capital of the Far Eastern Federal District, said Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong -un “through the Ministry of Defense” will demonstrate the possibilities of the Pacific Fleet. His program in Vladivostok will be related to environmental and education issues. “He must visit the Far Eastern Federal University, look at some objects of the Academy of Sciences, laboratories that are engaged in the biology of the sea.”

"For the punishment of the gathering of evil"

At the banquet, the North Korean dictator was eloquent.

“Comrades, our current visit takes place at a time when the confrontation between progress and reaction, justice and injustice is fiercely unfolding in the international arena, and the process of multipolarity of the world is vigorously advanced due to the general will and united power of independent forces,” said Kim Jong -un (and who argues?). -Just now, Comrade Putin, and I in depth discussed the military-political situation on the Korean peninsula and in Europe and came to a satisfactory consensus on the further strengthening of strategic and tactical interaction, support and solidarity in the struggle of the protection of sovereign security right, for creating guarantees of a strong world in the region and around the world.

We are sure that the Russian army and the people will certainly win a great victory in the sacred struggle for the punishment of the gathering of evil, claiming hegemony and feeding expansionist illusion, and for creating a stable environment for development ... "

Putin's cook tried to fame. The ceremonial banquet menu listed:

• A duck salad with figs and nectarine.

• Dumplings with Kamchatka crab.

• Ear from the White Amur.

• Sorbet from sea buckthorn.

• Sturgeon with mushrooms and potatoes.

• Antrakot of marble beef with baked vegetables.

• Brusnika taiga with cedar nuts and condensed milk.

Russian wine from the famous "Divnomorskoye estate" of two types. Eastern slope, crop of 2021 (white). And Cabernet Sovignon, the crop of 2020 (red). In stores, sold. A little more than 3000 rubles per bottle.

As dozens of media write, in these negotiations it was not only about missiles and a struggle against imperialism, but also about ensuring North Korea with food.
