What is behind the "iron curtain" of the 21st century

What is behind the "iron curtain" of the 21st century? Swedish photographer was able to visit in the closed state of modernity - North Korea.

59-year-old Swedish photographer Bjorn Bergman two years sought a tourist visa to North Korea. Friends tried to dissuade him from this idea, but Bjorn was adamant.

During the 9-day trip to North Korea, he managed to make great photographs depicting the life of the closed state in the world.
