  Because Koreans truly were as the perfidious Japanese had only claimed to be, i.e. inherently virtuous, never evil by nature, all atrocities they had committed during the pacific War were ascribed to duress and quickly erased from the collective memory. Koreans had done nothing under the Japanese but suffer.The North Koreans(perhaps including the south) were by no means alone in reinventing their past, nor were they the only nationalists in the new East Bloc. Myths of a "France of resisters or a Poland of victims" played an important role in helping Europe set aside its past and move on.The North Koreans saw no contradiction between regarding the USSR as developmentally superior on the one hand and morally inferior on the other.
