JAPAN: NOTHING IS FORGOTTEN

JAPAN: NOTHING IS FORGOTTEN

One of the striking achievements of post-war political technologies is the reversal of Japan's image in the eyes of the world community. The aggressor and initiator of monstrous crimes has been turned into the paper crane country of Hiroshima, an unfortunate victim who should be pitied.

North Korea remains one of the few countries in the world where Japan is associated not with cherry blossoms, high-tech and cute anime, but with the plundering of national wealth and war crimes on Korean soil. There has never been a shift in historical assessments and a complacent blurring of moral criteria that create the ground for the "kohl of Urengoy."

North Korea may well welcome Japanese Juche sympathizers, but they clearly separate these people from the rest of Japan, from which nothing good is expected. They don't wait, because they learn history and know how it always happened before.

Investigations into Japan's crimes against Korea during the period of colonial rule are still ongoing. They are widely covered in the press and during special excursions to the "museum of class education", where "blood for blood" is written above the entrance.

Recently, a new mass grave site for Koreans who died at the hands of the Japanese in 1940 was discovered in a cave near the village of Ingeri. According to preliminary estimates, the remains of 338 people are stored there. Work on their identification continues. However, the Museum of class Education has already opened a special exhibition on this topic, where tourists are taken.

This approach makes North Koreans not neurotics living with the traumas of the past, but sober realists who are able to recognize historical patterns and, based on them, understand what can be expected from a neighbor. And, in case of another aggression, ready to answer "blood for blood."
