They're both the same thing and Sovjet is just another way of spelling/pronouncing it.
YUp, Cyrillic doesn't translate nicely to our alphabet.

Russian pronunciation of the word is very close to just "Sovet" (stress on the second syllable) anyway. If anyone is wondering the original meanings of this word are "counsel" and later - "council".

I read a book about a boy who escaped the DPRK as a youngish teenager. When he was in school they had to learn huge tracts of a biography of the Kim family, verbatim. It was oddly disturbing when he described these little figures standing up at the front of the class, reciting the tracts in erratic bursts, not understanding. Also, if you had any kind of Japanese-Korean links or god forbid South Korean POW family history you'd be totally screwed.

Most South Korean citizens like President Park Geun Hye’s firm, principled approach to North Korea policy,
Erm. What policy?
She's barely in the news. :S I think most Korean citizens don't even know what Park is even doing, let alone her policy.

this means that a donation of 30 dollars to a developer that did not deliver would equal 4.769*10^-14 hitlers stolen from you
that's like half a femtohitler
and that is terrible

A military parade was held in North Korea the other day.
The announcers sound crazy dramatic.

Best Korea has best announcer. You don't have such announcer on West.

Yeah. Apparently, the UAVs on display are reverse-engineered American MQM-107 Streaker drones.
