A curious video from Pyongyang has recently appeared on social media. The video was said to be made by Russian visitors who landed in Pyongyang in October.
It is worthy of note that foreigners visiting the DPRK are required to follow a set of rules regulating their stay.
In general, filming is allowed, but there are many nuances at this point. For example, there are strict rules for photographing portraits and monuments of the leaders. All such monuments and portraits must be photographed in their entirety. Photos depicting half of such installations or monuments are strictly prohibited. Filming local residents is not advisable either. Taking pictures and making videos of North Korean scenery and places of interest is free. Tourists may video anything they like — hills, buildings, cityscapes, etc.
It is forbidden to photograph military installations, people in uniforms, and those engaged in physical labor. It is forbidden to photograph buildings under construction, even if the facade has already been completed and interior decoration works are underway.
