There hasn't been much coming out of Russia
lately about North Korea, but
N. Korea's
Kim Jong-Il Visits Russian Dancing Girls makes up for the
hiatus, with humor:
Kim went for a show put on by the Russian Beriozka
Dancing Troupe, where the girls presented the reclusive leader,
whose two-month absence from the public eye sparked speculations of
a coup, with flowers, Reuters reported, citing the KCNA.
"Put on the stage were such colorful pieces as female group dances,
... and mixed group dances in memory of defenders of the
motherland," KCNA said. ...
"The performance raised the curtain with the chorus 'Song of
General Kim Jong Il'. Its repertoire included the mixed group dance
'Vast Plain', the female group dance 'Chains', male group dance
'Coachmen', the comic dance 'Seeing each other with a view to
marriage' representing the optimistic life and national customs of
the Russians," the state-run news agency reported.
