While Kim Jong Un is touring the land, state-controlled media is currently working to convince everyday Russians that instead of looking to the West, they should start emulating North Korea.

What can you forbid to North Koreans? To drink Coca-Cola? They don’t have it anyway! To watch Hollywood movies? They don’t have them anyway! You’ll turn off their Internet? They don’t have it anyway! You won’t import IPhones? They don’t have them anyway! You will forbid them to travel to Europe and America? They aren’t traveling anyway! There is no way to get to them.”

Everything going ok, Russia? 😂🤣😂

I'm sure a lot of European-minded urban Russians are very happy to finally become another North Korea.

Is there any proper source like the original clip to support this claim?

Cognitive dissonance hitting a new max.

By this they surely mean to overthrow the Russian capitalist system and install a socialist government? lol

The film called Babylon AD starring Vin Diesel is the most accurate prediction of how Russia VS the West will become in the next few decades; one is a post apocalypse shithole full of warlords and anarchy, the other is a corporate-facist technologically sophisticated society.

Karnaukhov urged all Russians to proclaim that they don’t want to live the way they are currently living any longer: “Just say it, we don’t want to live this way any longer! We don’t need this savage capitalism!”

Socialism for his pest kin and feudalism for everyone else, just as usual.
