It has been reported that North Korean soldiers who have been deployed to Russia are “gorging on pornography” after being given unfiltered access to the internet for the first time.

The claim comes from Gideon Rachman, chief foreign affairs officer at the Financial Times, who said that a “usually reliable source” shared the news with him.
