    How the hell are they north Korean? You can’t even identify it from the photo? I see so much about the so called north Koreans in Ukraine but did not even see one credible photo that was not disproven to be just a guy from Mongolian regions of Russia. This is very absurd. Just a bunch of bodies lined up in snow and they somehow are north korean

          …explanation of the concept [near abroad] in Russian: " ‘The term originally had an ironic nuance,’ said the historian Ivan Ivanovich. ‘People spoke of nastoyashchyeye za rubezhye, “the present-day abroad.” But now the words have acquired a purely informational meaning, in order to distinguish the new states of the C.I.S. [ Commonwealth of Independent States, a title now in the dustbin of history ] from the “original” abroad.’ “
