Many countries in the world have streets, institutions, organizations and others named after President Kim Il Sung (April 15, 1912–July 8, 1994).
According to data available, more than 100 countries had a total of over 480 such units in the period from Korea’s liberation from the Japanese imperialists’ military rule on August 15, 1945 to the late 1990s, and the number is on the increase in the 2000s.
Typical of them are Kim Il Sung Class (Beijing Middle School No. 5, China, November 1950), Kim Il Sung Street (Maputo, capital of Mozambique, September 1976), Kim Il Sung Institute of Agricultural Science (Guinea, January 1982), International Kim Il Sung Prize (instituted in April 1993 in India’s New Delhi as the top international prize to be awarded to the followers of the Juche idea), Kim Il Sung Library (Sofia, Bulgaria, April 1995), Kim Il Sung Class (a 12-year middle school in Altanbulag County, Tov Province, Mongolia, September 1995), Group for the Study of Kimilsungism (founded in Peru’s Lima in January 1996), Hall of Works of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il (Russia, February 1997), International Kim Il Sung Foundation (the UK, October 2007), and Society for Studying Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism (Japan, May 2012).
