Vadim Kudimin, director of the Russian institute, was elected chairman of the preparatory committee.

The chairman said that the life of the President who set forth the scientific ideology and theory and led the Korean revolution to victory was a career for the country and the people and his exploits are brilliantly recorded in history.

He went on:

The President's ideology and theory serve as a precious guideline for the world progressives who advance along the road of independence.

Inheriting the revolutionary traditions provided by the President arises as an especially important issue for the Korean people at present.

The struggle of the Korean people for opposing invaders and bringing about happy life is based on the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance. We should disseminate the spirit to not only Russia but the world.

We would celebrate the birth anniversary of the President and positively conduct the study and dissemination of the Juche idea whose scientific accuracy and truth have been proved in practice.
