From September 9 to October 10, 2025, a large-scale exhibition of Korean art was held at the All-Russian Museum of Decorative Art.

The exhibition featured 123 works by DPRK masters - national paintings (chosonhwa), engravings, ceramic products, mosaics and embroideries, many of which were displayed outside the country for the first time.

On the eve of the 80th anniversary of the great Workers' Party of Korea, the exhibition was visited by hundreds of activists of the DPRK International Solidarity Group (DPRK ISG) from different regions, headed by Chairman Alexander Mostov.

From the Russian Executive Committee, leaders of primary cells in educational institutions participated, including Ivan Kozlov (Security Secretary to the Chairman of the DPRK ISG Coordination Committee, Head of the Friendship Club with the DPRK at the State University of Management), Georgy Dmitriev (Advisor for Disciplinary Work of the Coordination Committee and Head of the Russian-Korean Friendship Club of the Sergiev Posad Socio-Economic Technical School), Evgenia Olskaya (Head of the Friendship Club with the DPRK at Chelyabinsk State University), Anna Zorich (Secretary of the Friendship Club between the Russian Federation and the DPRK at the University of World Civilizations), as well as other comrades.

From the North American Executive Committee, Christopher Helali (Member of the Coordination Committee, Head of the North American Executive Committee and Regional Secretary in the USA), Don Courter (Member of the Coordination Committee), Nicholas Reed (Candidate Member of the Coordination Committee, Regional Secretary in Canada) were present.

The activists examined with keen interest the rich cultural heritage of Korea, reflecting its national traditions, spiritual ideals and creative diversity. Particular attention of the participants was drawn to the canvases embodying the beauty of nature and the greatness of the historical path of the Choson saram. Among them were "Mount Paektu" by artist Choe Chang Ho, "The Country of Unanimity and Cohesion" by authors Pak Myong Ir, Pak Myong Chol, Choe U Son and Kim So Chol, "The Squad of Glorious Military Banners" by Ri Gil Ho and Jang Wi Son, "Our Happy Native Land" by Hwang Min and Pak Kwang Rim, as well as other masterpieces combining traditional techniques and contemporary themes.

The viewers were impressed by the filigree artistic manner - paintings up to five meters in size, mosaics of mother-of-pearl and gemstones, as well as ceramic and inlaid products, demonstrating the high level of skill of the artists of socialist Korea.

Particular admiration among the visitors was caused by works depicting the feat of the soldiers of the Korean People's Army who liberated the Kursk region of the Russian Federation during the overseas military operation. These canvases became a symbol of the fraternal friendship and combat camaraderie of the peoples of Korea and Russia, their unity in the struggle against neo-Nazism and imperialism.

The leader of our organization Comrade Alexander Mostov left a review in the guest book:

"On behalf of the Coordination Committee of the DPRK International Solidarity Group, I express heartfelt gratitude both to the artists and to all comrades who participated in organizing this remarkable exhibition!

I was especially impressed by the paintings reflecting the recent achievements of the Republic in socialist construction under the guidance of the great Comrade Kim Jong Un. The Russian people will never forget the feat of the soldiers of the DPRK who liberated the Kursk region!
