Stalin was an incredibly brutal dictator that used the KGB to turn citizen against Citizens ruled by fear, put the people through incredible food shortages and openly destroyed people because he could.
The level of state mourning was amazing.
In North Korea because of the limited access to international media, and the inability to leave their country, combined with the iron clad control of the educational system, the rank and file North Korean not only believes that they live in a workers paradise, they believe that the rest of the world is in far worse shape.
The mourning is genuine, there will be no Asian Spring in North Korea.
