When so many people think of a real life example of 1984’s Oceania (fuck you anyway, orwell), the most common one is North Korea.

So how could one easily disprove all these claims?

      north Koreans would explain they are working in Russia but return to DPRK periodically

      That brings back memories of Russian liberal media running stories about “north Korean slave labour in Russia”. With some outlandish claims, like how the workers would bring back random crap back home (candy wrappers for example) because they didn’t have it there. Or that they were organised in groups with some party hardliner acting as an overseer, watching that the workers don’t escape or whatever
