After laboring in Russia for 13 hours a day for three years, Mr. Ri returns to North Korea with $600. He’d rather keep his job than be forced home.
VLADIVOSTOK, Russia—Wearing a Nike coat and an Adidas hat, a North Korean laborer waited with 60 compatriots to board a flight home from this city in Russia’s Far East.
After three years of construction work, the laborer, Mr. Ri, was returning with $600, after his pay was docked for missed work due to an injury. He said he would miss his life in Russia, where he enjoyed watching the South Korean news on his mobile phone—until his North Korean handlers confiscated it three months ago to deter defections.
