Statue below the Juche Tower, Pyongyang, North Korea

A statue depicting three members of the proletariat, one with a hammer, one with a sickle and one with a writing brush (an idealised worker, a peasant and a " working intellectual" ), at the foot of the Tower of the Juche Idea, on the eastern bank of the Taedong River in Pyongyang, capital of North Korea. The tower is named after the principle of Juche, developed by Kim Il Sung (1912-1994) as a blend of autarchy, self-reliance, isolationism, Korean traditionalism, and Marxism-Leninism. It was completed in 1982, to commemorate Kim Il Sungs 70th birthday, and is 170 metres high. The associated statue of three figures is 30 metres high
