Olga Skabeeva set out to prove that life in North Korea is perfectly normal. The result? Quite the opposite. Despite calling Kim Jong Un "the light of the nation," Skabeeva was followed and sternly told what not to say and what not to film in Pyongyang. youtu.be/cxAScMYgyJs

by russian standards, it's probably really great that the reporter wasn't immediately overpowered and taken away by 10 secret police officers - we remember the man in red square who silently held a blank sheet of paper and was immediately overpowered & taken away?

During her report from North Korea, Russian propagandist Skabeeva talks about how things look very “normal” because women are “allowed to wear heals” and there are curtains in windows. 🙃 But THEN… 1/2

“In the most isolated country on the planet”
“women were allowed to wear heals”
“Curtains appeared in the windows”
“These are ordinary, normal people”

You know it’s BAD when a state propagandist from one of the most restrictive regimes in the world is rattled by, and feels she needs to comment on, being monitored and censored by your regime during her reporting. Are you sure you’re totally cool with this new BFF, Russia?

“Immediately after these words”
“have encircled us and asked to explain what’s going on”
“Eight seconds later, a man in a suit does appear”
“He starts to move along with me”
