The Monuments Of North Korea

The age of huge monuments to political ideology came to an end for many with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. In the rush towards change, many massive statues of communist leaders and heroes were toppled or consigned to scrap yards.

The time for colossal testaments to the cream of communism was, it seems, well and truly over. Or perhaps not. No one seems to have told the North Koreans. The East Asian country is awash with grandiose monuments.
