It is noted that the industrial society of the nineteenth century was distant from religion, and its consciousness was filled with the ideology of communism. The attractive promises of politicians in those circumstances created a strong position in Western Europe. The concepts of "political ideology", "religion", "authoritarianism" and "authoritarian personality" are clarified. It is noted that the cultural manifestations of the influence of communist ideology are especially noticeable in the music of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, where lyrics often honor leaders and contain elements of mythology and religious symbolism. The presence of the communist regime in several DPRK songs is analyzed. It is shown that these songs serve to strengthen ideological control and support the authoritarian regime through the creation of a common goal and the cult of personality.
Keywords: communist ideology, religion, DPRK, music, song.
