From the Daily NK:
North Korean authorities have begun collecting citizen feedback regarding the country’s decision to join Russia’s war against Ukraine.
“The Sariwon police department has instructed neighborhood offices throughout the city to have locals submit essays detailing their thoughts and feelings about our entrance into the war,” a source in North Hwanghae province told Daily NK recently....
These neighborhood watch unit leaders received explicit instructions not to provide citizens with any guidance on what to write, as the essays are meant to capture genuine opinions and reactions.
“The police have specified that people should share their honest feelings in essays ranging from one to three pages, with an additional single-page essay required from each family,” the source explained. “The family essay must be signed not only by the household head but by all adult family members officially registered at that residence. Police have instructed neighborhood watch unit leaders to communicate only these requirements without making any further remarks.
“The primary goal is to understand how families feel about their sons being sent to the battlefield,” the source continued. “The police explained that the party needs citizens to express their candid feedback (about the Ukraine war) to provide foundational data for shaping future ideological policies for provincial residents.”
Hmm. You'd have to be exceptionally foolhardy, or naive - or stupid - to express anything but the highest praise for our brave boys fighting for the glory of the motherland and its heroic leader Kim Jong-un. Good way of weeding out the troublemakers, though.
