It is an inseparable tool of the North Korean state. In a totalitarian state where digital information is restricted, the standards of living are low, and access to education is limited, propaganda is a part of almost all everyday routines. Its key function is to support the existing regime and teach citizens to obey it. Drawing on semiotic methodologies, this article examines North Korean propaganda through the prism of visual art and identifies distinctive features of posters as one of the major elements of the complex system of North Korean propaganda. The relevance of this work lies in the permanent interest in the phenomenon of North Korean propaganda in the international arena. The purpose of this work is to study the distinctive features and characteristics of propaganda posters as an integral part of North Korean propaganda. The objectives of this work are a detailed consideration of the propaganda system, its distinctive features, structuring of campaign posters, slogans, and messages with their accompanying translation, embedded within this type of propaganda.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Пропаганда - это неотъемлемая часть существования северокорейского общества. В условиях почти полного отсутствия цифровых информационных носителей, достаточно низкого уровня жизни и образования населения, продвижение проправительственных лозунгов становится частью каждодневной рутины. Ее главная функция - это сохранение полного беспрекословного подчинения правительству и восхваление выдвигаемых им идей. Опираясь на семиотическую методологию, в данной статье подробно рассматривается процесс проявления визуальной агитации на примере пропагандистских плакатов, определяются их отличительные особенности как одного из ключевых элементов сложной системы северокорейской пропаганды. Актуальность данной работы заключается в повышенном интересе к феномену пропаганды Северной Кореи на международной арене. Целью данной работы является изучение особенностей пропаганды КНДР на примере агитационных плакатов. Задачами данной работы являются cтруктурирование агитационной системы и классификация агитационных плакатов с их сопутствующим переводом, рассмотрение лозунгов и посылов, заложенных в данный вид пропаганды.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>propaganda</kwd><kwd>North Korea</kwd><kwd>posters</kwd><kwd>DPRK</kwd><kwd>Juche</kwd><kwd>agitation</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>пропаганда</kwd><kwd>постеры</kwd><kwd>Северная Корея</kwd><kwd>КНДР</kwd><kwd>Чучхе</kwd><kwd>агитация</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Asmolov, K.
