The Monument to the Workers' Party of Korea was erected on the fiftieth anniversary of its foundation.
Laborers are represented by the hammer, intellectuals by the calligrapher's brush, and farmers by the sickle.
Political slogans adorn the rotunda ('Long live the Korean Workers' Party, which has coordinated and let the Korean people in all their victories") and the buildings behind ("One hundred victories - One hundred battles")
This was some kind of student building in Pyongyang. You can see a large gathering of students who were marching in front of it.
Photo taken in 2009. Like the rest of Changjon-dong, this kindergarten had to make way for the new high-rise construction project in Mansudae area (Changjon Street) which was completed in 2012.

평양 정교사원.
The Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Pyongyang was opened in 2003 on a whim of Kim Jong Il who had visited an orthodox church during his rail trip to Russia in 2001. Like other churches in Pyongyang, it is a "show church" for foreigners only. A high wall keeps curious North Koreans away. A North Korean priest trained in Russia celebrates the mass but Koreans are not allowed to attend. Most worshippers are members of the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang.
