Abstract

This article traces the origins of North Korea's militarized, repressive political system. It shows that the policies of the country's founder, Kim Il-sung, were heavily influenced by his personal experience in the USSR, or, more precisely, in the Soviet armed forces in the early 1940s. This factor has been largely overlooked by the academic community up to now. Drawing on a wealth of new sources in Chinese, Korean, and Russian, the article discusses how Kim's service as a Soviet military officer shaped his worldview and approach to governing North Korea. Through a multifaceted analysis of the North Korean military, the article reveals how its size, doctrine, economic role, and political education system were all influenced by Kim's experiences and those of his fellow soldiers in the USSR's Red Army. This insight has broader implications for understanding North Korean civilian society. By shedding light on the formative experiences that shaped Kim's approach to governance, the article offers a new lens through which to view the country's political and social structures.
1940-1945 年,金日成在苏联军队中:他的经历及其对朝鲜国家和军队未来的影响
本文追溯了北朝鲜军事化、镇压性政治制度的起源。文章指出,朝鲜的缔造者金日成的政策深受他在苏联的个人经历的影响,更确切地说,是受到他在 20 世纪 40 年代初在苏联军队中的经历的影响。迄今为止,学术界在很大程度上忽视了这一因素。文章利用大量新的中文、韩文和俄文资料,讨论了金正日作为苏联军官的经历如何塑造了他的世界观和治理朝鲜的方法。通过对朝鲜军队的多方面分析,文章揭示了朝鲜军队的规模、理论、经济角色和政治教育体系是如何受到金正日及其苏联红军战友的经历影响的。这一见解对于理解朝鲜平民社会具有更广泛的意义。通过揭示塑造金正日治理方式的成长经历,文章提供了一个新的视角来看待朝鲜的政治和社会结构。
