Book from North Korea, 1973, written by Kim Il Sung. The eternal leader of North Korea.
This book once belonged to Andries Oele. Inside the book you’ll find the signature of him. Oele was a well-known and notorious radical Maoist in the 1970’s in the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He always stood out by standing at the back of a hall at meetings and public gatherings (such as May 1 celebrations) and shouting his slogans (“Death to capital! Long live Marxism-Leninism! Long live Chairman Mao!”). While the many small communist splinter groups were happy with any soul they could recruit, they would rather lose Andries than get rich. Nevertheless he was a member of KORO (Communist Organization Rotterdam and Surroundings).
Andries Oele worked in construction so the left-wing intellectual Rotterdam got some appreciation for this: a real worker, after all.
In 1977 Oele was caught in bed with someone’s wife. Her deceived husband immediately took a gun and shot both Andries and his own wife. A double murder. A Dutch Maoist publisher was asked to clean out Oele’s house.
Behind the frontdoor he found a wonderful house that had been completely renovated as if it were a ship’s cabin. You had to duck to go inside and could look through portholes to other dark spaces. He collected all Oele’s books, almost entirely Marxist-Leninist works and works by old Dutch socialists, such as Troelstra and Domela Nieuwenhuis.

Belarus matchbox label with the image of Brest Fortress made in 1966. The text on the label reads:”Brest Fortress” and at the bottom:”Ruins Of Terespol Gate”. This label is part of a set.
The fortress is located in Brest, Belarus. The fortress is a 19th. century Russian fortress. In 1965, the title Hero Fortress was given to the Fortress to commemorate the defence of the frontier stronghold during the first week of the German Soviet War, when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union.
On June 22, 1941 the German Wehrmacht attacked the Brest fortress with no warning. The attack started with an artillery barrage. The defenders were taken by surprise and initially failed to form a solid front. By 09:00 that day, the fortress was completely surrounded. The ensuing battle of Brest Fortress lasted for 32 days, during which lives lost about 2000 soldiers and officers defending the castle, and attackers losing nearly 430 soldiers and officers.
The last defended object in the fortress was taken by June 29. About 6,800 Soviet soldiers and commanders were captured. According to Soviet sources, the battle lasted until 20 July, with no one surrendering to the Germans. This narrative became a testament to the resilience and courage of Red Army and Soviet people. A few Soviet soldiers did indeed hold out inside pockets of the fortress until as late as 23 July.
In the late 1960s, the construction of the war memorial complex “Brest Hero Fortress” was started. The complex was opened on September 25, 1971. The memorial complex is a national place of grief and pride, a popular tourist attraction.
This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on January 30, 2004.

In 1969, Khaled was part of a team that hijacked TWA Flight 840 on its way from Rome to Tel Aviv. No one was injured, but after the passengers disembarked, the hijackers blew up the nose section of the aircraft. After this hijacking, and a photograph of her (taken by Eddie Adams) holding an AK-47 rifle and wearing a kaffiyeh was reproduced in many publications, she underwent six plastic surgery operations on her nose and chin to conceal her identity.
El Al Flight 219 (1970)
In 1970, Khaled and Patrick Argüello attempted to hijack El Al Flight 219. The attack failed when Israeli skymarshals killed Argüello and overpowerred Khaled.
The pilot diverted the aircraft to Heathrow Airport in London, where Khaled was delivered to Ealing police station. On October 1, the British government released her in exchange for hostages taken in a further hijacking.

The October Revolution was a revolution in Russia led by the Bolshevik Party of Vladimir Lenin. It followed and capitalized on the February Revolution of the same year, which overthrew the Tsarist autocracy and resulted in a provisional government.
As the October Revolution was not universally recognized, there followed the struggles of the Russian Civil War (1917–22) and the creation of the Soviet Union in 1922. The Bolsheviks would become the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Stalin was one of the militairy leaders of the Bolsheviks and took control over the Soviet Union after Lenin’s death in 1924.

Large copper shield on a wooden plate. On the right the calvary of the Red Army, on the left a book with part of a poem and the name of the author. The name of the author is Demyan Bedny.
The first major work of Russian poetry, reflecting the historical events of 1917, was Demyan’s poetic novel “About the land, about the legacy, about the working share.” The lines that ended on it were written on the day of the armed uprising in October.
Yefim Alekseevich Pridvorov, better known by his writer name Demyan Bedny, was a Soviet Russian poet, Bolshevik and satirist. Also in 1911, he published the poem “Of Demyan Bedny”, which led to him being known by that name, and began a private correspondence with Vladimir Lenin which was said to develop into a long-lasting personal friendship. He was a steadfast supporter of the Bolshevik cause throughout the Russian Revolution and Civil War, writing agitprop from the frontlines. For this he was decorated with the Order of the Red Banner in 1923, followed by the Order of Lenin in 1933. In the 1920s and 1930s, he was very popular and variously supported by the Soviet regime.
Bedny amassed one of the largest private libraries in the Soviet Union (over 30.000 volumes), from which Stalin was known to borrow books on occasion. His poem commemorating the Soviet victory on Nazi Germany was published in Pravda on May 3, 1945. Bedny died two weeks later, on May 19.

Partially handpainted poster from Vietnam. Made in the early 60’s. Ho Chi Minh looking over soldiers and a farmer collecting weed. The text on the posters reads:”A Well Fed Army Is A Strong Army” and at the bottom:”Eat Your Fill, Win Battles”.
The Ho Chi Minh figure is a lithograph and the rest is handpainted on top. They probably kept a masterprint and worked from there. Normally they would hang these kind of posters outside and not inside buildings and glue them on a billboard with no way to get it off again. Probably the artist who painted this poster kept a copy for himself making this a rare poster or it could be a sample piece. At some time the poster recieved some restaurations.
Ho Chi Minh (1890-1969) was a Vietnamese revolutionary and politician. He served as Prime Minister of North Vietnam from 1945 to 1955 and then its President from 1945 to 1969. Ideologically a Marxist-Leninist, he served as Chairman and First Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Vietnam. He founded the Democratic Republiek Of Vietnam in 1945.
Any description of Ho Chi Minh’s life before he came to power in Vietnam is open for discussion. He is known to have used at least 50 and perhaps as many as 200 pseudonyms. Both his place and date of birth are subjects of academic debate since neither is known with certainty. At least four existing official biographies vary on names, dates, places and other hard facts while unofficial biographies vary even more widely.
He has got an iconic status for first beating the French in 1954 and for beating the United States and South Vietnam in the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam war costs was between 600.000-1.6 million deaths on the North Vietnam side while South Vietnam suffered between 700.000 and 1 million deaths including almost 60,000 American lives.
With the outcome of the Vietnam War still in question, Ho Chi Minh died of heart failure at his home in Hanoi 1969; he was 79 years old. As almost all comunist country’s do, his embalmed body is currently on display in a mausoleum in Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi.
After the Vietnam War Saigon was renamed in Ho Chi Minh city in 1976.

Announcement about a CPN (Communistic Party Netherlands) for a congress and demonstration. The text on the cards reads:”Demonstration, Congress. For International Solidarity, For Defence Of The Standard Of Living, For Immediate Reduction Of Arms Expensives”. The card is made around 1980.
The Communist Party of the Netherlands was a Dutch communist party. The party was founded in 1909 as the Social-Democratic Party (SDP).
On May 15, 1940, immediately after the German occupation, the party decided to organize an underground movement. In July 1940 the Nazi occupation force banned the CPN. The party continued illegally. Together with the much smaller anti-Stalinist communist party RSAP the only pre-war organisation that already in 1940 protested against the anti-Semitic measures by the German occupiers. It published a resistance newspaper called De Waarheid (“The Truth”, in Russian: Pravda). Both took part in the February Strike in 1941, the largest act of resistance in the Netherlands.
In 1989 the party merged with three other small leftwing parties to form the GreenLeft. In 1991 disstatisfied members left and formed the New Communist Party wich still exist today.

The image of this pin is the Decembrists Memorial Monument in St. Petersburg.
The Decembrist revolt or the Decembrist uprising, took place in Imperial Russia on 26 December 1825. Russian army officers led about 3,000 soldiers in a protest against Tsar Nicholas I. Because these events occurred in December, the rebels were called the Decembrists. As you figured. The experiences of the Napoleonic Wars and realisation of the suffering of peasant soldiers resulted in Decembrist officers and sympathisers being attracted to reform changes in society. They displayed their contempt of court by rejecting the court lifestyle, wearing their cavalry swords at balls (to indicate their unwillingness to dance), and committing themselves to academic study. These new practices captured the spirit of the times as a willingness by the Decembrists to embrace both the peasant and ongoing reform movements from intellectuals abroad.
There was a standoff at the Winterpalace between loyalist soldiers and the rebels. Later that day the rebels lost and most of them arrested. 5 rebels were executed and the rest went into exile to Siberia.

Book from North Korea made in 1974. In this book Kim Il Sung is answering questions raised by L’Unita, the communist party of Italy.
This book once belonged to Andries Oele. Inside the book you’ll find the signature of him. Oele was a well-known and notorious radical Maoist in the 1970’s in the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He always stood out by standing at the back of a hall at meetings and public gatherings (such as May 1 celebrations) and shouting his slogans (“Death to capital! Long live Marxism-Leninism! Long live Chairman Mao!”). While the many small communist splinter groups were happy with any soul they could recruit, they would rather lose Andries than get rich. Nevertheless he was a member of KORO (Communist Organization Rotterdam and Surroundings).
Andries Oele worked in construction so the left-wing intellectual Rotterdam got some appreciation for this: a real worker, after all.
In 1977 Oele was caught in bed with someone’s wife. Her deceived husband immediately took a gun and shot both Andries and his own wife. A double murder. A Dutch Maoist publisher was asked to clean out Oele’s house.
Behind the frontdoor he found a wonderful house that had been completely renovated as if it were a ship’s cabin. You had to duck to go inside and could look through portholes to other dark spaces. He collected all Oele’s books, almost entirely Marxist-Leninist works and works by old Dutch socialists, such as Troelstra and Domela Nieuwenhuis.
