Le Boston Globe vient de mettre en ligne une belle galerie de photos récentes prises notamment par le photographe français Eric Lafforgue, en Corée du Nord, dernier état Stalinien dans le monde.

Des scènes impressionnantes de la célébration du 60e anniversaire de la Corée du Nord ainsi que de rares images du pays sont à découvrir sur Boston.com.

"Celebrating 60 years of existence this year, North Korea holds out as the last Stalinist state in the world.
In such a restrictive society, it is difficult - if not impossible - for residents to get news of the outside world, and for the outside world to see in. What photography comes out of North Korea is either state-produced, state-approved, or at the very least state-managed (visitors are restricted in their movement).
Still, if you look over the following images with those restrictions in mind, one can still get some idea of life in North Korea in 2008.
These photos were all taken within the past six months - some taken from the borders, peering in, others provided by North Korea itself, and several generously shared by freelance photographer Eric Lafforgue, who recently spent some time inside the country."
