In many countries, the Internet is limited, in some it either does not exist at all, or people are so poor that they do not even know about its existence. But what is wrong with a country that is actively developing nuclear technology (and this implies great technological progress), but has great limitations? The Internet is available, but it is so limited that by our standards we can assume that it simply does not exist. And it is available to a few people. So why is the internet banned? We will try to answer this question in as much detail as possible.
Is there internet in North Korea?
Of course there is. But, unlike most countries, here he is a government tool for propaganda. Its sole purpose is to serve the interests of the authorities, and not to provide citizens with access to the Network. The latter do not have access to it, and if they do, it is extremely limited. Most of the information about events in the world, citizens get from newspapers or television.
However, if you believe the statements of experts studying the problems of this closed state, there has been a slight opening of the "iron curtain" lately. To some extent, this may also affect the Internet in North Korea.
At the moment, it is difficult to say how many North Koreans have access to the Web. However, in 2013, 1200 IP addresses were recorded that went online from North Korea. Officially, the government allows access to the Network for party leaders, embassies of other countries, universities, propagandists and foreign economic figures. Also, some people from the circle of the leader of Kim Jong-un also have access to the Web. This is about the World Wide Web, but ordinary people do not have access to it. But they can use "Kwangmen" - North Korea's Internet within the country. This network does not go beyond the "digital borders" of the state.
"Kwangmen"
The North Korean authorities have solved the problem of access to the Internet and information radically - they simply "cut off" the Internet in general throughout the country. Instead, an internal network was created, which was named "Kwanmen". This network is available to those few citizens who have computers, but most simply do not have them due to the very high cost of such equipment.
This "analogue" can only remotely resemble a classical network. Yes, there are chats, forums, entertainment sites (there are about two or three dozen of them), but even there there is no smell of freedom. According to experts on North Korea, all information in "Kwangmen" is read and analyzed by censors. Everything means everything, without exception.
How does their network work?
Does this mean North Korea has banned the Internet? In part, yes, because the presence of an internal network, albeit throughout the country, is not at all the endless information space that you and I are familiar with. There is even a special institution in North Korea - the Korea Computer Center. The task of this center is to upload to the network "fresh" extracted from the real Internet. This center has a list of acceptable sites from where they grab content and upload to Kwanmen.
The citizens of the country themselves understand that there are computers and a certain network. They know that you can click the mouse there and see some interesting things, but nothing more. Most of the sites in Kwanmen are educational or business sites. But recently the network has been developing, and sites in English and even Russian appear.
Internet censorship
Note that the Computer Information Center plays a key role in the development of this network. It is he who uploads data to Kwanmen at the request of various institutions. However, the content offered to users is subject to a very strict censorship check beforehand.
In a modern analogy, Kwangmen is more like an electronic library, where the user can do almost nothing. However, there is an opportunity to download books, which are necessarily checked for censorship by "caretakers", and read them on Samjiyon tablets. These tablets for North Korea are specially manufactured by China. There are also news sites on the Korean Web that promote communism to a greater extent. Some publish articles on science. There is even its own search engine and commerce, which allows you to run your own business. Chats and emails are included - there you can chat with each other and exchange songs.
Software
Considering the fact that the DPRK is a very poor country with an average wage of a worker of $ 4, it is very rare to come across a computer. But residents with their PCs also exist, although there are few of them. The computers use the operating system Red Star OS, which is a shell of the popular free Linux. The latest version of this OS resembles Mac OS. Internet access in North Korea is carried out through the Mozilla Firefox browser, which has its own name - "Nanara". There is a postal system, a text editor, and even some games.
Access to the real big internet
As you already understood, most people in the DPRK have access only to copies of censored sites and are always within their Kwangmen network. And the majority of citizens do not have computers at all, but scientific laboratories, institutes, and Internet cafes have access. And it is very difficult to buy your own computer, because the import of equipment from abroad is prohibited (they can go to jail even for a DVD with harmless South Korean TV series), and the state-owned company Morning Panda is engaged in the production of its own PCs, but it produces only 2,000 copies in year.
Even so, North Korea has Internet via a cable from Pyongyang to China. About two thousand people throughout the country have access to it. In fact, China is a big firewall for Korea, from which many restrictions and prohibitions follow. And only high-ranking government officials and a narrow circle of specialists who need it for work have access to it. According to user reviews, the speed of such an Internet is very slow, and they connect to it through prohibited computers, including the American company Apple. The entire 25 million country has 1,024 IP addresses.
Internet for authorities
Considering the above, it is completely wrong to say that North Korea lives without the Internet. It exists, but with huge restrictions for citizens. But the authorities can use it "to the fullest." In particular, for propaganda. As soon as Kim Jong-un came to power, the presence of this state on the Internet grew. A video about residents of the DPRK was actively disseminated on social networks.
There is also a theory (or is it a fact?) That the DPRK is using the Network to carry out cyberattacks. North Korean hackers are believed to be responsible for breaking into Sony. In general, the Internet gives the North Korean elite a high status.
How do citizens "mine" the Internet in North Korea?
The reluctance of the authorities to open the Internet for the citizens of their country is quite understandable. It's just that the information that users can find there is contrary to their propaganda. However, to survive, sooner or later you will have to open up.
If China has a "Great Internet Wall" that blocks sites banned in the PRC, then the DPRK has its own analogue, which is commonly called "Mosquito Net", which gives access only to basic information.
As it turned out, it is very difficult for the DPRK special services to track mobile phones. And although they have an official mobile network that prevents citizens from making calls abroad and accessing the Internet, the North Koreans have found another way. They increasingly began to buy Chinese phones, which are imported into the country illegally. These devices can operate within a 10-kilometer zone from the Chinese border. However, the North Koreans understand that it is very dangerous to have, let alone use, such a telephone.
Development of the information environment in the DPRK
Nat Cretchan, a North Korean researcher, has published a report on the country's evolving information environment. From the report, based on interviews with 420 escaped citizens, it is clear that using such phones is a serious crime. Also, government intelligence agencies have equipment for tracking calls, so you need to use such a mobile phone in a densely populated place and very quickly.
Many observers note that the country's leader is well versed in information technologies and is trying to use them at home, that is, to put them at the service of his citizens. Of course, these technologies are developing very slowly in the DPRK, which can be explained by the complete isolation of this country, but each step in this direction gives the North Koreans the opportunity to receive truthful information. Sooner or later, this may lead to the fall of the regime in such a closed country. But as long as North Korea remains without internet, the regime has nothing to worry about. However, it cannot stay that long. After all, many citizens are already gaining access to the Internet and mobile communications using illegal methods to make forbidden calls abroad. Many run successfully.
Conclusion
Many people are trying to understand why there is no Internet in North Korea, because the Web itself does not pose a serious threat. In fact, for the DPRK regime, this is a real and terrible threat. After all, for decades, the authorities have been promoting communism and all the delights of the regime, cynically lying about the most beautiful life in the country compared to other countries, their media broadcast the news that the DPRK national football team won the World Cup, beating the South Korean national team with a crushing score etc. And if every citizen gets access to the Internet in North Korea, then they can immediately expose the lies of their government, and this clearly will not benefit the regime.
But so far, the DPRK authorities have managed to curb the curiosity of citizens, and they do not particularly try to use forbidden technologies. But sooner or later it will have to open up, because a closed country, although it can exist in this form, but not to actively develop.
But now we will talk about the Internet in the most closed country in the world. In the modern world, where the borders between many countries are already just abstract concepts, the DPRK remains an unusual example of a state where Internet access is almost completely closed. This is due, first of all, to the total control by the government. The Internet in North Korea serves only one purpose - to serve the needs of the authorities, and the inhabitants of the country lack virtually any information, except for propaganda from television and newspapers. Although, lately, the tendency of the “iron curtain” opening has become more and more noticeable and, of course, this will also affect the Internet. Few North Koreans now have access to the network. In 2013, the number of IP-addresses connected to the Internet was only 1200. Party leaders, some research institutes, foreign embassies, metropolitan universities, foreign economic figures, propagandists and some others elected by Kim Jong-un have access to it. The overwhelming majority use the Kwangmen national network, which we will now talk about in more detail.
Information and economic isolation of the country allowed the North Korean authorities to solve the problem with unwanted information on the Internet radically - the Internet was simply "cut off" throughout the country. In 2000, at the initiative of the DPRK government as a surrogate for the Internet, the Gwangmen national network was created - a prime example of an intranet. Ordinary users (who are already few in number - because of the high cost of a computer, these are mainly nomenklatura) are offered its analogue - an internal "grid" covering the entire country.
In this "analogue", as people familiar with the problem say, everything is the same as in the "big" Internet - sites, chats, forums. True, there is no smell of anarchy or even freedom typical of the Western and Russian segments - in strict accordance with the Orwellian idea, information is monitored by censors. The specifics of the country - information is read ALL, almost without exception.
The Red Star operating system first became available outside North Korea in 2010, when one of the Russian students at the University. Kim Il Sung posted it online.
As for the access to the worldwide network from the DPRK, the situation here is even worse. As mentioned above, only government agencies and politicians have access to the Internet. However, since March 1, 2013, foreign tourists were allowed to access the Internet on the territory of the state via 3G communication, however, this service did not take root much, because access costs several hundred dollars. Officials, taking care of the country's image, constantly come up with various guidebooks, including interactive ones. A prime example of this is the first video game made in North Korea, the Pyongyang Racer browser race.
Just looking at it, one can understand that the DPRK has lagged behind other countries in terms of information technology for several decades. There is no one to compete with in this game, but while rolling through the deserted streets of Pyongyang, you can explore all the local attractions of the capital.
Access to the global Internet, however, is also available. However, it exists only where it is vital for industry or science (say, in a research institute). And every oncoming-cross will not be able to enter and sit down at a computer with the Internet there. According to the scanty descriptions, employees who have access to the Internet are repeatedly checked through the state security line and receive admission from it, and the room with a computer connected to the Network is also guarded appropriately - without presenting an admission, you will not get through. Naturally, they will also check where the employee goes on the Internet.
Computers are mostly distributed "where needed" - and they have been there since Soviet times. As for private users, the development of network technologies is constrained not only by the high cost of computers (in relation to the average salary - about the same as a car in the USSR, and only on the "black market"), but also by the underdevelopment of communications - those who have visited Korea note that there in provinces are still in use technologies from the times of "Young lady, Smolny give" or analogs of field telephones during the war. In large cities, it is slightly better, and the installation of telephones in Pyongyang seems to be comparable to that of the Soviet regional center of perestroika times.
True, there is hope that computer networks use more than telephone communications - otherwise it would be quite surprising.
Only employees of embassies and trade missions, and not only foreigners, but also local staff, can access the Internet relatively freely. One can try to explain such "liberalism" in only two versions: either all of them without exception have ranks in the state security or are simply checked many times, or the state security has given up: "anyway, they will hear enough from foreigners." The first is more correct. It is interesting that embassies have their own channel not so long ago - back in the early 2000s, they had to dial up an international connection to a Chinese provider.
As of the end of 2015, the number of active IP-addresses with access to the global network does not exceed 1500. This is despite the fact that the country's population exceeded 25 million back in 2013. Only party officials, some universities, scientists, embassies and those close to the leader of the country can access the Internet.
Despite all the efforts of the North Korean authorities, the country, and with it the Internet, will gradually begin to open up to the outside world. Perhaps the DPRK will follow the example of China and create an analogue of the Golden Shield, and refuse to filter information, as many totalitarian states have already done. But, in the meantime, local residents, in their own words, suffer greatly from a lack of information and the ability to communicate on the Internet.
Here's another blogger about the Internet in North Korea - http://abstract2001.livejournal.com/1371098.html
Everyone thinks that there is no life in North Korea at all. A country in which totalitarianism is on the defensive, although it looks ridiculous.
Much of our knowledge of North Korea: Juche, Kim / Chen / Sen / Il / Eun, totalitarianism, poverty and dog-eating. The Internet doesn't fit in here.
However, the North Koreans have access to the Internet, albeit in a very perverse form.
Below I will try to talk about the most interesting features of North Korean citizens' Internet access:
1. Only a select few Koreans have the right to access the Internet, the rest use North Korea's "internal" Internet (Gwangmyeon).
In fact, in the DPRK there are several categories of citizens who have the right to access the normal Internet. Naturally, tough generals and high officials of the state have good internet in their homes with a speed sufficient to watch porn online. Well, what about? The nomenclature simply must have access to all the pleasures of humanity.
After the generals are foreign firms and embassies. Since there are not many of those and others, the entire width of the channel goes back to providing general's porn.
After the entire "elite" are party workers and prophets of Juche ideas to the outside world. These ideologically shy guys are already getting a heavily curtailed version of the Internet. Firstly, so that they do not see what is not necessary, and secondly, so that the channel is not occupied, as we already know for what. Basically, these people can view all kinds of technical sites, internal communication networks, sites of scientific institutions and the North Korean library.
There is also a special list of organizations that can access the Internet, created personally by Kim Jong Il. It includes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the security service, and scientific and technical institutes. These institutions have special rooms with computers. Access to such computers is allowed only with special passes. Insanity is detected.
2. In Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, there is only one Internet cafe.
Yes, in fact, in a city of about 4 million people, there is only one internet cafe. As you might guess, there are no queues. Like a normal Internet. Payment - $ 10 per hour. Accordingly, this cafe is not really for locals. There is not even a sign at the entrance to the internet cafe.
In the cafe itself, there is a division into the main room - for the citizens of the DPRK, and into an additional one - for foreigners. In the room for foreigners there are 7 pretty good computers with 2000 Windows and no restrictions on opening any pages around the world.
3. The Internet is free for absolutely everyone.
As you understand, no one will pay for such squalor, and the state will not get a lot of money on this either. Plus, campaigning should be carried out regularly. So they give everyone the Internet free of charge, around the clock, via dial-up. Yes, exactly on that very ultra-slow telephone cable.
4. The name of the North Korean leader is highlighted on websites using a special script.
Curiously, even in such a trifle, North Korean propaganda surpasses all the boundaries of reason. The bottom line is that a special script is embedded into the browser on the computers of Koreans, which, upon detecting the name of the great Leader on the page, highlights it in such a way that it becomes slightly larger than the rest of the text on the page. It probably looks something like this:
"Yesterday is our beloved Kim Jong Il
died in agony from prolonged diarrhea. His place was taken by a young, but already knowledgeable in Western culture Kim Chen In
"
Of course, nothing will be written about diarrhea and Western values - the browser shows only the best articles about its leaders.
5. Among other things, Pyongyang has mobile internet.
Sad as it may be, North Korea has mobile Internet, but it is represented by only one site. Needless to say, iPhones are practically useless there?
6. There is a translation service in Gwangmyeong.
Since Gwangmyeong can be used by scientists, they sometimes have to read foreign materials - in the DPRK itself, science has remained at the level of 30 years ago. To translate articles, there is a staff of 2,000 translators who will help you translate the material you need at any time. Why it is impossible to create an analogue of Google translator, I do not understand.
7. A file is embedded into the operating system telling "how good it is to have your own party computer."
Roughly speaking, Korea also has its own operating system called the Red Star. This operating system was presented by order of Kim Jong Il. When you turn on the computer, the screen will explain to the user how good it is that Korea has its own Internet and operating system and how it strengthens the country and blah blah blah.
This is what the start screen looks like: 
8. The calendar on your computer will show you 101 years.
Indeed, the computer screen will display not the usual 2012, but a certain "101 years". In fact, you will be shown what year has passed since the birth of the great Juche Kim Il Sung. Well, in terms of the degree of insanity, it can even compete with the highlighting of the leader's name on Internet pages.
9. Journalists writing for the internal Internet are repressed for typing errors.
This is a paradise for Grammar Nazi! According to Reporters Without Borders, you will always eat pebbles in Korean concentration camps for a typo.
10. Banned media content travels from South Korea to North Korea and back in an innovative way - tied to a balloon.
This item can be confidently given the first place for its absurdity. This point also best shows the absurdity of the DPRK's totalitarianism.
In South Korea, a balloon is bought, a flash drive is attached to it. The flash drive contains versions of TV series, films, as well as articles from Wikipedia. Well, the porn is still the same as kakbe. This ball is then simply redirected across the border between the two countries. Honestly, I'd really like to see this.
Actually, we are reluctant to burden the post more with the complexities of the North Korean Internet - we do not even know a tenth of how everything actually happens there.
I hope that Koreans will soon have tablets, 4G, and a normal elected leader.

Mobile communication in Korea
South Korea has a different mobile communication standard than Russia and Europe - Korea has CDMA and IMT2000 standards, while we are used to the GSM standard. However, you may not even notice this difference if you have a mobile phone that supports 3G communication (and this is practically all modern devices). The connection will work if roaming is connected. Those who want to save on tariffication of international calls can purchase a SIM-card of a local operator (KT, Olleh, SK Telecom or LG Telecom). This can be done only on the third day of your stay in Korea (you need a passport with a stamp with the date of arrival in Korea). The cheapest tariff costs about ₩ 5000 for a month of calls + ₩ 10000 for a SIM card. You have to pay for mobile internet separately.
If your mobile phone does not support 3G, then, sadly, it will not work in Korea. However, this is not as scary as it might seem. There is a service offering to rent a mobile phone (usually an iPhone) that operates on the Korean network. You can buy a mobile phone for rent right at the airport - this map shows the places where the relevant services are provided. Estimated price ₩ 3000-4000 for each day. You will need to leave your phone as a deposit.
In addition, you can call home from a landline phone or from a pay phone located on the street. You can pay for a conversation in a machine using special telephone cards (sold in shops and hotels), or coins. The procedure for dialing a Russian phone number for a call from Korea: 001 (002 or 008) - 7 - area code - the subscriber's phone number.
Phone numbers that may come in handy in Korea:
- Police - 112
- Fire department - 119
- Ambulance - 119
- Ambulance for foreigners - (02) 790-7561
- Tourist information office - 1330
Also, calls can be made using popular Internet applications: Skype, WhatsApp, Telegram, Weibo or their Korean counterpart - Kakao talk... To do this, you will need to connect to a high-speed Internet source.
If you need Internet access all the time, you can buy a wi-fi router for rent. Just like a mobile phone, it can be rented directly at or at the offices of local telecom operators. Estimated price ₩ 3500-8000 for every day of using the router. You will need to leave ₩ 200,000 as a deposit. A card for paying for a router can be purchased at small chain stores (CU, Mini Stop, 7-eleven, GS25, etc.) or at the appropriate branch of the local telecom operator.
You can also connect paid wi-fi on your phone, which will cost about ₩ 1000 for every hour of Internet use or ₩ 2000 per day. To do this, you will need to connect to the appropriate network on your phone and buy wi-fi access on the opened page on the Internet.
While the whole world enjoys the benefits of the World Wide Web (albeit in a limited form in some places), one country in the world has created its own Internet, very loosely connected with the Internet to which we have been happily accustomed over the past fifteen years.
It will be about the North Korean project, which is as unique as it is itself.
Any encyclopedia will tell you the first thing that is a city in South Korea. And only then - what is the name of the national computer network on the territory of North Korea.
Networks as a reflection of the social order
You can agree with me, you can disagree, but I believe that the Internet was created by society. Yes, computer experts have created technologies - IP, HTTP, HTML, and so on. But it was society that used them for a wide exchange of information, emotions, opinions ... These technologies appeared in an open society - and the Internet developed precisely as an open network.
In the national network, everything is the same as in offline
It is quite logical that in a closed society the computer network turned out to be just as closed, isolated from the whole world. The Gwangmyeong computer network is essentially a giant intranet. That is, it is a large local area network based on Internet technologies, but not having a direct connection to the “big” Internet. The name of this network consists of two hieroglyphs with the meanings "light, bright" and "life".
The Gwangmyeong network was created by the decision of the North Korean party and government, who realized that local engineers simply needed a tool to exchange information, similar to the Internet. At the same time, Gwangmyeon fully reflects the specifics of North Korea. The main content posted in Gwangmyeong is communist propaganda content, as well as ideologically neutral scientific and technical materials. Websites of communication, websites of higher educational institutions, etc. are presented to a lesser extent. E-mail is available, websites of private users are allowed.
According to independent experts, Gwangmyeon now has about 100,000 users. Half of them are educational institutions and scientific and technical organizations. Now unlimited 24-hour free access to the network (here it is - communism in a single country!) For all citizens of the country is carried out via telephone lines using Dial-Up technology.
Technical network administrator
Its own OS from the DPRK called "Red Star". Here " the boys"everything has long been its own - both networks and OSes, but in Russia they are just thinking - we are clearly lagging behind on the way to!
The Center has an institute and courses in information technology. Specialists are trained in new information technologies. The Center includes 8 development and production centers, as well as 11 regional information centers. The center has branches in Germany, China, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates.
Exactly Korea Computer Center and administers the DPRK Gwangmyeong intranet, including transferring and filtering the content of Internet sites to the intranet. It happens like this: an institution orders the Center for information on a specific topic, mainly scientific and technical content. The center finds and downloads sites corresponding to the request from the Internet, revises their content, and then uploads them to Gwangmyeon.
Typical public workplace in the DPRK. I wonder if Kaspersky Anti-Virus is even licensed in the countries of forever victorious socialism?
The main interface language of the web is Korean. Gwangmyeon, however, also contains materials in English, Russian, Japanese and other languages, for the use of which it has created its own online dictionary translation service with a database of 2 million words.
Big Internet in S. Korea
Here, perhaps, it is worth digressing and briefly talk about North Korea's relationship with the "big" Internet. The DPRK has its own. However, only a few sites of the country are available to foreign users, for example, administered by the Korea Computer Center in Europe. The IP addresses of most sites are associated with the ISP. For access to the World Wide Web in 2003, the DPRK Ministry of Communications from China, the data transfer rate on which is about 10 megabits per second.
Throughout the country, only a limited number of institutions have access to the “big” Internet. Their list is approved personally by Kim Jong Il, and the Internet activity of North Korean users is tightly controlled by the special services. The "permitting" list includes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, some scientific and technical organizations, and the security service. In these organizations, PCs connected to the Internet are placed in special rooms, access to which is carried out only with special passes.
As you can see, even Google is not available on such an intranet.
However, some manifestations of liberalism do happen from time to time. Since the end of 2004, foreign firms and embassies in Pyongyang have been allowed free use of the Internet. Also, at one time, there were Internet cafes in the regions bordering with China in the northern part of the DPRK.
True, the cost of an hour of work in them (at a very moderate access speed) was $ 10 - while in the country it is now equivalent to $ 2.5, which is not enough for many. However, this liberty did not last long - in 2007 Ministry of Public Security of North Korea ordered the closure of all Internet cafes in the country.
Gwangmyeong specifics
But back to the Gwangmyeong network. Of course, it bears little resemblance to the Internet we are used to.
There are no online games or other entertainment in it. Everything is correct here: the builders of a bright communist future should not waste their time on games. Also, any commercial information is completely absent in Gwangmyeong - in a state with a rigidly planned socialist economy, it is not needed by definition. I'm not even talking about pornography ... There is no spectrum of opinions or - here there is a grave peace and harmony in everything.
Development of the Gwangmyeong project began in the DPRK in 1996. About fifty of the best computer specialists in the country worked on the creation of the "national intranet". Now the official releases emphasize that "the electronic network from beginning to end was created exclusively by the forces of Korean specialists."
The system supports the simultaneous operation of up to two million users, and, according to its creators, today provides access to tens of millions of documents. The system contains a number of sections dedicated to scientific and technical information, access to which is limited. This is, first of all, information used for the needs of the country's military-industrial and nuclear complex. And, according to South Korean experts, more than 60% of the North Korean economy is tied to it.
From time to time in the world media that the DPRK authorities are allegedly going to end the isolation of the Gwangmyeong internal network and connect it to the "world" Internet. Each time it turns out to be just rumors ... However, if necessary and desired, Kwangmyon can be technically integrated into the World Wide Web rather quickly, since their data transfer protocols are no different.
What do we have?
Sometimes it is useful to know about such idealistic examples when our domestic legislators on the need to establish law and order and the introduction of total control, under the pretext of eradicating terrorists and other criminal elements firmly entrenched in the Web.
But would other people want to live in such a sterilized one? In any case, when taking steps in this direction, it is useful to always keep before your eyes an example of such an already realized goal - this is Gwangmyeong, a North Korean national network, where every citizen is carefully protected by his state from the pernicious influence of any external forces and has round-the-clock and free access to ... the monopoly point of view of his state Communist Party on all spheres of human life.
Look around ... Around the state - which create networks similar to themselves, and networks - which, in turn, simply reflect the ideas and values of the people inhabiting them ... But, as my past used to say universal fit- in science, it is no longer the current state that is important, but trend!
Update 1: On the question of the Russian trend, quotes for thought are taken simply from:
Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin on Monday at a meeting of the State Council, he said that the state needs to increase its presence on the Internet and on television, ITAR-TASS reports:
“During the Great Depression, Roosevelt spoke on the radio on a variety of topics, not just labor relations. The main goal (of such performances) is nationwide psychotherapy to instill in our citizens of the country confidence in the future, ”Putin said.
And how this will be done kakbe already hint some test actions on the eve of the upcoming elections:.
