Dmitri Kostenko, chairman of the Russian Association for the Study of the Juche Idea, praised the undying exploits the President performed for the Korean revolution and the human cause of independence.

Under the wise leadership of the President Korea, once a backward colonial semi-feudal state, turned into a socialist power centered on the popular masses, he said, adding that this gives pleasure and hope to the world progressive people but fear to the imperialists.

He expressed belief that socialism of Korea would foil the moves of the U.S. and its allied forces to stifle the DPRK and win one victory after another as the dear respected Kim Jong Un has successfully carried forward the idea and cause of Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il.

Viktor Yegorov, chairman of the Karelia-DPRK Friendship Association of Russia, said that Kim Il Sung developed the DPRK into a socialist power and the Korean People's Army into an invincible army. By defending socialism he instilled great confidence into the world revolutionary people and clearly indicated the way to be followed by them, the chairman added.

Ivan Sulukhai, chairman of the Moscow War Veterans' Committee, praised Kim Il Sung as the benefactor of the national liberation, founder of the DPRK and iron-willed commander who firmly defended the dignity of the country and the nation.

Thanks to the wise leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un, the Korean people will surely build a thriving socialist nation, he stressed.
