| Summary/Abstract |
Since the 1990s, many publications in the world have predicted the "imminent collapse of the North Korean regime" or a change of power in the country. However, so far this has not happened, and the DPRK continues to exist in its former form. What leads to such chronically unrealizable predictions about North Korea, and what are the alternatives for the future of this country in the short and medium term?
Based on a number of recent unfulfilled predictions, the authors try to explain the reason for these failures, closely related to ideological framework, lack of information, and dependence on certain sources, which leads to underestimation of the DPRK's capabilities and misinterpretation of data, when any event is seen as a sign of the regime's imminent collapse. Based on the theoretical approaches of Gordon Tullock and Vladimir Lenin, the article identifies the main types of modern threats to the current political regime (external invasion, coup within the elite, economic collapse, mass protests), as well as the probability of their implementation under the current policy of the DPRK leadership.

| Summary/Abstract |
Broader rights and greater opportunities granted to Korean women have been priorities in social policy of North Korea. The liberation of Korea from colonial dependence presented the country's leadership with the task of doing away with semi-feudal holdovers, one of which was female discrimination in family and public life. Equality of the sexes was based on the socialist concept of women's emancipation. After the establishment of juche as the state's ideology in North Korea, the development of rights and duties of women has received a new ideological backing largely based on traditional Korean values.
