Not quite as weird/odd as I usually post, but it does have a hamster driving a tank, so there’s that.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
I tried to find more information, so I subscribed to a group called “Solidarity with North Korea” on VKontakte — Russia’s equivalent to Facebook.
In it, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation offered a chance to go to a North Korean children’s summer camp for about $300.
I traveled alone from St. Petersburg, where I grew up, to Vladivostok, in the far east of Russia, where I joined a group of other children and some Communist Party officials.
Some kids in our group, as young as 12, bought North Korean rice vodka, brought it back to the camp, and got extremely drunk on the first couple of nights.
We also had to participate in concerts, singing propaganda songs in Korean about North Korea’s Supreme Leaders, using lyric sheets translated into Russian.
One kid became so indoctrinated afterward that he joined the Communist Party in Russia and was always posting about North Korea.
The original article contains 772 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 80%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This is a wild article
Here’s the tank hamster quote:
They tried to brainwash us in many ways. We played a computer game where your character, a hamster in a tank, had to destroy the White House.
