Monument in Praise of Peerlessly Great Men

There is an exceptional monument in praise of a great man in Pyongyang.

It is the monument “Guardians of the Art of the Century” which bears the august names of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il.

Written on the monument unveiled on April 15, 2007 were the letters reading “Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung and Great Leader Comrade Kim Jong Il of the Korean People Were Awarded the Supreme Order and the Honorary Title of ‘Guardians of the Art of the Century’ Fund.”

In front of the monument there are ten red marbles noticing that such monuments were also built in other Russian cities such as Moscow and Novogyvkov City of Bryansk. 

Monument “Guardians of the Art of the Century” is a symbol of boundless respect of Russian people for the peerlessly great men and also a valuable treasure that contributes to strengthening and developing the traditional DPRK-Russia friendship.
