| Summary/Abstract |
Tatiana Gabroussenko's Soldiers on the Cultural Front is the second book in English after 16 years to deal with North Korean literature. Written as a literary history with a strong focus on biography and policy, the study explains that Soviet Stalinist socialist realism was successfully implanted in North Korea from 1945 to 1960. Soldiers on the Cultural Front, however, neglects the 'theoretical problems of literary studies.' The consequence is that subjective value-judgments, extra-literary specialization determinism, and naive induction intrude upon the subject matter, reconfirming that North Korean literary studies in English is still not a well-developed or theoretically self-aware field.

| Summary/Abstract |
This commentary examines the concepts of Stalinism, post-Stalinism, and neo-capitalism in the journalistic writings of Professor Andrei Lankov. A leading authority in the field of North Korean history, Lankov also writes articles and columns for a number of major media outlets. As a journalist, he has proposed that North Korea in the twenty-first century is no longer a Stalinist state, but a post-Stalinist authoritarian system that is characterized by the development of a neo-capitalist revolution. The paper suggests that contrary to these propositions and in spite of the objective tendency towards capitalist restorationism, North Korea may still be regarded as Stalinist, not because of attempts at "re-Stalinization," as Lankov has described, but on political and programmatic grounds.
