The term p'urakch'i comes from the Russian "fraksiya" which,
I think, has substantially the same meaning in Russian as it does in Korean. It
goes back at least to the period immediately after liberation, if not before.

Kwangya. It is a well established protest song, and participates in some
aspects of the NL tradition of the protest movement (which always includes some
irredentism.) A friend of mine suggested that the aspect of "one
Korea" (i.e. North and South Korea) was always the aspect of the song that
appealed more. But, as in any demonstration, different people participate for
different reasons. (The Communists in Italy always had the best sausages,
perhaps still do, which would have been a draw for me.).
Speaking of the demonstrations, I am curious about the origin of the
"p'Urak'Usi" to mean "agent provocateur." My
understanding is that, in German and other European languages, a
fraction is usually a radical cell within a party or a labour union (perhaps
I am wrong.) Is the use of p'Urak'Usi to mean agent provocateur a Korean
innovation?
Sorry for my vague questions.
Adam
