A confidential document from the U.S. intelligence agency was additionally disclosed, stating that North Korean President Kim Il-sung is a ‘fake hero’ manipulated by the Soviet Union.
The Voice of America (VOA) reported on the 7th that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released to the public the ‘National Intelligence Survey Korean Peninsula Edition’, a classified document prepared by the U.S. State Department’s intelligence agency in 1952.
The report states that Chairman Kim’s real name is ‘Kim Seong-ju’ and that “Kim Seong-ju, who was once a relatively unknown leader of demonic bandits in Manchuria, was elevated to the status of an outstanding Korean patriot and national hero through Soviet propaganda in October 1945, and was relegated to Joseon by the Soviet Union. He was revered as an ‘outstanding leader’ of the nation.”
In particular, “the Soviet military government gave him the pseudonym Kim Il-sung, which was similar to the name of a much older Korean (Kim Il-sung) who carried out guerrilla activities against Japanese imperialism in Manchuria and northern Joseon from 1930 to 1940 and is considered a legend throughout Joseon. “I used my reputation,” he emphasized.
The CIA had previously revealed in a classified document in 1949 that Chairman Kim was actually Kim Seong-ju, but the document at the time contained only information circulating in Korea.
VOA explains that the document released this time is qualitatively different from past data in that it remains official data from the U.S. intelligence agency that records detailed personal information on 23 key figures in North Korea, including Chairman Kim, and 21 figures in South Korea. .
Regarding the ‘real’ Kim Il-sung, the report said, “The real Kim Il-sung, who graduated from the Japanese Military Academy in Tokyo and could speak several languages including Russian fluently, is presumed to have been murdered by the Japanese military after 1940.”
A secret story was also revealed that Kim Seong-ju was introduced as Kim Il-sung by Cho Man-sik at a liberation celebration event held in Pyongyang in the fall of 1945. Cho Man-sik felt uneasy about the Soviet military’s advance into North Korea and the activities of communists, and at first did not sympathize with Kim Seong-ju’s ‘Kimilsungization’, but was persuaded by Chairman Kim, who introduced himself as an ardent nationalist, and helped Chairman Kim appear in front of the public, the report said. It was elaborate.
The report also explained the power structure of the North Korean regime, which was not revealed to the outside world at the time. Although Chairman Kim is the head of the party and the country, the ultimate power of the Labor Party in the 1950s is exercised through the Soviet Union’s trusted confidants, that is, the inner core of party loyalists.
The report said, “The Workers’ Party is made up of a small but very influential group of not only Kim Il-sung and his fellow partisans trained in the Soviet Union, but also especially Soviet-Koreans,” and “It is possible that then-Deputy Prime Minister Heo Ga-i may surpass Kim Il-sung as the de facto power in North Korea.” “He predicted.
He He-yi was a Soviet military civil affairs agent who went to North Korea in 1945 and served as the first secretary of the Workers’ Party and the second deputy prime minister. However, he died mysteriously in his office in 1953, a year after writing this document. In response to this, suspicions were also raised that Chairman Kim assassinated his political rival, Heo Yi.
The CIA posts declassified documents in electronic format on its website, and has posted about 20,000 documents related to the Korean Peninsula.
