Orders, decorations, and medals of North Korea

During the years of Japanese occupation of Korea, many of the future leaders fled to the Soviet Union.

During World War II many if not close to all party leaders and Korean People's Army commanders served in the Soviet Army and as such adopted many of the Soviet awards criteria for their own.

With the exception of a few examples of modern orders, Soviet and Czech KPA awards are the most sought after in current militaria markets.
