# "선군정치의 위대한 승리 만세!": paired roadside murals (photographed 2011)

Two painted panels stand side by side on a retaining wall in a DPRK park or roadside, with a visitor standing in front. The right panel shows three soldiers, two with rifles and one with a machine gun, under the slogan 'Long live the great victory of Songun politics!' The left panel shows an engineer and a woman in front of factories, grain and textiles under 'Once more, everything for the improvement of the people's livelihood!' The tell is the pairing: a military victory slogan and a living-standards slogan displayed together, each stated as an accomplished or assured result with no figures.
