North Korea Military Parade April 25th, 1997 (Full HD 60fps)

Parade starts at 35:48
Some background according to refugees that trained for this parade: SEOUL, South Korea (AP) Past goose-steppers proud of place in North Korean parades By HYUNG-JIN KIM
"Kim Jungah, who eventually dropped out of the parade because of injuries, said her academy only selected female cadets who were 160-164 centimeters (5′2″- 5′3″) [...] Kim said her colleagues in the 1997 parade practiced for one year; another ex-North Korean soldier said in an interview that he trained for two months before a 1998 parade. [...] The defectors said they trained about 6-10 hours per day and six days a week. Many of their colleagues fainted or were injured during practice and had to be replaced.
Kim said that when parade instructors weren’t satisfied they often hit her and her colleagues with tree branches and flimsy metal rods used to clean rifles. Kim said she and her colleagues were beaten on their feet, calves, arms, jaw, hips and even breasts. “We were hit a lot ... and they always carried those switches,” she said. “I didn’t know whether it was a human rights violation at the time. I saw (my parade training) as a source of pride, even after I came to South Korea” in 2009, she said. [...] Malnourished, she said she passed out during a practice in July 1996 because her training unit didn’t have enough food, often eating only rice and salt for each meal. Sim and another ex-North Korean soldier, who requested anonymity because of worries about the safety of his relatives in the North, said their teams were fed well.
Several weeks after quitting her training because of health problems, Kim said she suffered sciatic neuralgia that left her paralyzed below the waist for weeks. Kim said her North Korean doctor told her that her injury was likely caused by the goose-stepping. Other goose-steppers had slipped disks and blood in the urine, she said.
The third ex-North Korean soldier said he had a backache for one and a half months after the 1998 parade. Sim said his training was tough but he wasn’t injured.

Got any more detailed military footage? I'm trying to study DPRK small arms and equipment from the 80s through to the mid-90s, but there's very little detailed footage of stuff like weaponry, uniforms, etc., especially in the west.

That year, Kim Yong Nam was not yet the chairman of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly. The duties of the President of the DPRK were Park Sung Chol, Kim Young Joo, Lee Jong Ok and Kim Pyong Sik.

The words of criminals are invalid for many reasons. Secondly, tell me the statistics about the fact that all illegal immigrants declared hunger? Thirdly, tell me the source, where did the government of the DPRK recognize the famine? Fourthly, life in Russia in the 1990s and 2000s was really bad, but due to liberal reforms, which were not in the DPRK. Fifth, the DPRK did not maintain close ties with the USSR due to "de-Stalinization", and did not even speak to the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, but since then and to this day, the DPRK has supported the PRC.

@@alkor17the North Korean state officially refers to the period of 1994-1998 as the “Arduous March of suffering,” or “고난의 행군” in the Korean language. North Korea itself does not deny that there was severe food shortages during this period. Due to a strange, incorrect pride in the failed Soviet system which inspired North Korea, you are trying to deny something which North Korea itself does not deny. You are quite a strange individual. You are also a very cynical, illogical person to believe that the very large stream of starving refugees which migrated against regulations from North Korea to China in order to find food are all “criminals.” Pure nonsense.
