In this research work a comparative analysis of the socio-cultural development of the DPRK and the ROK between 1948 and the 1960s was carried out. Formation of North Korean culture began in the 1950s.In this period the DPRK completely copied Soviet Union’s methods of social and cultural development. Due to deployment of the US military administration in the South, medicine and the educational system in many aspects copied America. Unlike the North, where all medical and educational institutions were public and free, private educational and medical institutions prevailed in South Korea, and education and medicine were paid. As shown by the analysis socio-cultural policy in such areas as education and medicine, was more effective in the North. In other fields of cultural policy, such as cinema and theater, both in the North and in the South, served as an instrument in the hands of governments, through which they propagated their ideas. In the South, it was a policy of anti-communism, in the north - building a communist society in the spirit of Juche and anti-Western sentiments.
