The 1994-2004 period in North Korean can be seen as a time of de-Stalinization from below. In spite of the government’s unwillingness to introduce meaningful reforms, the hyper-Stalinist system slowly disintegrated.
However, recent events clearly indicate that since 2004, the North Korean government has been trying to re-establish control over society and reverse the changes that happened in the decade after Kim Il Sung’s death.
