Comments on: 1946 Land Reform and early DPRK state… http://www.nkeconwatch.com/2008/03/09/1946-land-reform-and-early-dprk-state/ News and analysis of the North Korean economy Mon, 21 Jul 2008 01:18:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Leonid Petrov http://www.nkeconwatch.com/2008/03/09/1946-land-reform-and-early-dprk-state/#comment-41440 Leonid Petrov Mon, 10 Mar 2008 17:24:50 +0000 http://www.nkeconwatch.com/2008/03/09/1946-land-reform-and-early-dprk-state/#comment-41440 This is one of the disappointing pieces by Dr. Lankov, full of anti-communist bias and anti-Korean callousness. Whose fault was that Comrade Stalin suddenly decided to scrap his "neutrality pact" with Japan and occupy the northern Korea? What could Koreans do to avoid the status of the "puppet state"? Dr.Lankov seems to forget that until 9.9.1948 northern Korea did not have a government and everything was to be approved and decided by the Soviet Military Administration. As for the gender and social composition of parliament committees, etc. the USSR and DPRK were much ahead of their time. These days political correctness demands the same nearly everywhere. Why not ridiculing this? This is one of the disappointing pieces by Dr. Lankov, full of anti-communist bias and anti-Korean callousness.
