abstract = "This article offers a fresh look into one of the key events of North Korean history, the ideological campaign of the 1970s which promoted Kim Jong-il (Kim Chŏngil [inline-graphic 01]) as the successor to his father. Previous research on the subject has generally been limited to analyzing open sources. I, however, obtained a copy of an electronic archive of the restricted-access DPRK newspaper Chosŏn inmin'gun [inline-graphic 02]. This discovery, along with North Korea's declassification of some information about Kim Jong-il's campaign, makes it possible to compare how the campaign was presented in open and restricted sources."
