Propaganda paintings cut from a very large oil painting and reframed. The paintings have hung in a government building as propaganda pieces for Communism. Beautiful ! So rare. After the 1956 revolution and the departure of the Soviet Union from Hungary, everything related to the CCCP was removed and destroyed. Fortunately, these paintings were removed from their original frame and cut into pieces, rolled up and taken home and eventually ended up in the attic where they have only now been found again.
All paintings have been re-stretched on new frames and are in good condition.
They were probably painted on canvas from the late 1950s, early 1960s, which looks like linen. You will never see this again! Very special.

Book made in North Korea, 1993, with the history of Kim Il Sung. This is part 1 in a 2 parts serie.
Kim was the son of parents who fled to Manchuria during his childhood to escape the Japanese rule of Korea. He attended elementary school in Manchuria and, while still a student, joined a communist youth organization. He was arrested and jailed for his activities with the group in 1929–30. After Kim’s release from prison, he joined the Korean guerrilla resistance against the Japanese occupation sometime during the 1930s and adopted the name of an earlier legendary Korean guerrilla fighter against the Japanese. Kim was noticed by the Soviet military authorities, who sent him to the Soviet Union for military and political training. There he joined the local Communist Party.
During World War II, Kim led a Korean contingent as a major in the Soviet army. After the Japanese surrender in 1945, Korea was effectively divided between a Soviet-occupied northern half and a U.S.-supported southern half. At this time Kim returned with other Soviet-trained Koreans to establish a communist provisional government under Soviet auspices in what would become North Korea. He became the first premier of the newly formed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in 1948, and in 1949 he became chairman of the Korean Workers’ (communist) Party.
In 1950 the Korean war started. . With help of Chinese support he was able to repel a subsequent invasion of North Korea by UN forces. The Korean War ended in a stalemate in 1953.
Kim Il Sung was leader of North Korea from 1948 until 1994 when he died. He outlived Stalin by 4 decades, Mao Zedong with 2, and stayed in power long enough to outrun 6 South Korean presidents, 9 USA presidents and 21 Japanese prime ministers. After his death his son Kim Jong Il became the leader of North Korea.
The North Korean government to this day refers Kim Il Sung as the Supreme Leader and the Eternal President.

Book made in North Korea, 1997. Autobiography of Ri In Mo, one of the world’s longest-serving political prisoners, who was imprisoned for 34 years in South Korea in defence of his beliefs.
Ri In Mo (1917-2007) was an unconverted long-term prisoner who spent 40 years in prison and under restriction of freedom in South Korea.
During the Japanese occupation of Korea, he was arrested by South Korea while fighting as a guerilla in Jirisan in January 1952, while serving as a war correspondent of the Korean Peoples Army during the Korean War. Ri served 34 years in prison in South Korea. During his incarceration, Ri was offered his freedom in exchange for signing a form renouncing his political beliefs but repeatedly refused.
Ri was released in 1988 but South Korean authorities continued to restrict his activities. He was repatriated to North Korea in March 1993 and was reunited with his wife and daughter. Following his repatriation, Ri was in ill health, apparently due to the conditions he experienced in prison.
He underwent medical treatment in the United States in 1996. Ri died on 16 June 2007 and was given a hero’s funeral. His funeral committee was chaired by Kim Yong-nam with Choe Thae-bok as its vice-chairman and had 55 members including Kim Yong-il. A statue was erected in his honour in Pyongyang the following year.

Book made in North Korea, 1990. Book with a large poem about Mt. Paekdu, the sacred mountain. The mountain plays an important mythological and cultural role in both Korean states. For instance, it is mentioned in both of their national anthems and is depicted on the National Emblem of North Korea.
Both Koreans assign a mythical quality to the volcano and its caldera lake, considering it to be their country’s spiritual home. With 2744m./9003ft. it is the highest mountain in North Korea, the Korean Peninsula and Northeast China. The mountain’s caldera was created in 946 by the colossal Tianchi eruption, one of the most violent eruptions in the last 5,000 years.
The founder of the first Korean Empire, King Tangun, was born on this mountain 3000 years ago. According to legend his father, Godly King Hwanung, was decended on this mountain, married a bear wich was turned into a woman and out of that Tangun was born. Tangun is not the first leader to be born on Mt. Paektu. Also Kim Jong Il (father of the current leader Kim Jong Un) was born in a cabin on Mt. Paektu. This would have happened during the Korean War.
Kim Il Sung set up secret bases around Mt. Paektuto lead the Korean revolution as a whole from the latter half of the 1930’s to the first half of the 1940’s during the anti Japanese armed struggle.

Book made in North Korea, 1995. Scientific treatises on the Juche Idea offered in celebration of the 50th Birthday of Kim Jong Il. Juche is the official ideology of North Korea, described by the government as “Kim Il-sung’s original, brilliant and revolutionary contribution to national and international thought”.
It postulates that “man is the master of his destiny”, that the Korean masses are to act as the “masters of the revolution and construction” and that by becoming self-reliant and strong, a nation can achieve true socialism. Kim Il-sung (1912–1994) developed the ideology, which was originally viewed as a variant of Marxism–Leninism until it became distinctly Korean in character.
