Timeline
Nam Il (5 June 1915 – 7 March 1976) was a Russian-born North Korean military officer and co-signer of the Korean Armistice Agreement.
Nam was born Yakov Petrovich Nam (Яков Петрович Нам) probably in the Russian Far East.
Due to a Soviet policy, Nam's family, like many Koreans in Russia's Far East, were moved to Central Asia.
He was educated at Smolensk Military School and in Tashkent.
Nam achieved his final rank of captain as an Assistant to ta Division Chief of Staff of a Soviet Army division during World War II.
He took part in some of the greatest battles, including Stalingrad and the Battle of Berlin.
When not serving in the military, he worked in the education sector.
In 1946, he was sent to Soviet occupied North Korea, as a member of a contingent of ethnic Korean former Soviet military officers to assist Kim Il Sung, leaving behind a wife and daughter in Soviet Union.
After the Korean war broke out in 1950 he was appointed Chief of Staff, replacing Kang Kon who had been killed in action.
Nam, along with Pang Hak-se (the founder of the DPRK secret police), was one of only a few prominent Soviet Koreans who survived the purges of the 1950s.
When the Korean War reached a stalemate in July 1951, Nam served as the Communists' chief delegate at the armistice talks.
He was famous for using an amber cigarette holder.
After the war, Nam Il served as Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the North Korean government.
Along with another Soviet Korean Pak Chong-ae, he worked to help Kim Il Sung break free from Soviet influence.
In 1953, Nam became a General of the Army (대장, three-star rank at the time).
In 1957, he was promoted and became one of several deputy Prime Ministers.
On 7 March 1976, it was announced that he had died when his car was crushed by a truck.
Many suspected that this was not an accident, and some blamed Kim Jong Il, who by that time was not powerful enough to simply order that Nam be killed.
Others said that it was done by Kim Il Sung.
Nam Il's son, who lived in the Soviet Union, visited North Korea and attempted to investigate, but Pang Hak-se told him to go home and stop interfering in affairs which did not concern him.
Nam was awarded a state funeral and was buried in Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery.
Unlike some of his colleagues who were purged, Nam continues to appear in historical photographs.
