    Arguably, things have been better in the DPRK again for a few years just like they were up until the tail end of the 80s

      Indeed, DPRK was doing just fine until USSR dissolved, and then they went through some bad times because of all the sanction. The main things they need are access to food and fuel, both of which Russia can supply them in effectively unlimited amount. Meanwhile, Russian economy is overheating now where there isn't enough labour available to sustain the growing industrial activity. This is where DPRK fits perfectly since they used to be a major manufacturing hub for USSR. I saw that they're now opening up a join economic development zone with Russia that looks very similar to that.

        And i don't know if this is true but there were rumors at some point that DPRK construction crews might be called in to help with the rebuilding in the new Russian territories. At the time they were talking Mariupol but i'm sure there will be plenty of that sort of work available in the other cities as well.
