By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/what-was-north-korea-like-in-1990.htmlAlmost all the photos from North Korea that can be found online are either official or parades and demonstrations. Almost nothing is known about the daily life of people in one of the most closed countries in the world. In 1990, a resident of Tashkent, Yuri Magai, during a business trip to the DPRK, managed to take pictures without special supervision of accompanying persons.
At that time, an international festival of Koreans was held in Pyongyang — its participants were selected through regional cultural centers by the Organization for the Promotion of the Unification of Korea. Magai was a member of its Tashkent department; he worked as a researcher at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, in his spare time doing artistic ceramics.
