Amid a labor shortage caused by the war against Ukraine, russian companies are actively seeking translators fluent in the North Korean dialect of the Korean language.<\/p>\n
russians are aiming to bring in as many North Korean workers as possible to construction sites in moscow, st. petersburg, and other regions. Job postings explicitly state that translators must assist DPRK citizens in adapting to work and everyday life in russia.<\/p>\n
The Center had previously reported a \u201ccatastrophic labor shortage\u201d in the \u201ccivilian\u201d sectors of the russian economy. The full-scale war against Ukraine has led to a massive outflow of workers into the army and defense industry. The construction sector is experiencing the most severe crisis: developers are going bankrupt, projects are halting, and there is no one left to do the work. Now, russia is attempting to fill this gap using labor resources from \u201cfriendly\u201d totalitarian regimes.<\/p>\n
russia has long treated North Korea as a military-political partner and a source of weapons, ammunition, and human labor. The mass recruitment of workers from a totalitarian country is yet another dimension of this cooperation, where human beings are viewed as commodities.<\/p>\n
While the putin regime spends money on organizing labor imports from North Korea, its own citizens are being deprived of access to quality education and are being forced to go to war. russian authorities are increasingly revealing their true priorities: they are not interested in human development \u2014 only in using people as resources: their own \u2014 for the battlefield, and others \u2014 for construction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
