1991∼2014, Incremental changes and expertise of Russia and the CIS Koreans community

Song Zanna

This paper has examined the reason why the ethnic Koreans of today have emerged as experts in diverse fields in Russia and Central Asia and figured out that the reason could be attributed to the sustenance and the changes of the ethnic Korean communities. This study, therefore, has analyzed the residences of the ethnic Koreans in order to analyze how they have successfully adapted to Russian culture. Before 1937 when they were forcefully migrated to the region, the majority of the ethnic Koreans lived in the Primorsky region. But population statistics showed that they had already lived across the whole regions of the former Soviet Union in the 1920s. After they were forced to live in Central Asia, they not only resided in the region but across the whole areas of the former Soviet Union. And in each region, they worked diligently and kept in harmony with the surroundings in order to adapt to the living conditions. In the process, the ethnic Koreans have focused on two aspects ― labor and education ― in order to survive in the former Soviet Union. With regard to labor, they tried to preserve their national culture by working at Kolkhoz, a form of collective farm. But in order to survive in the former Soviet Union as a minority, they paid interest to the aspects of education. As of today, more than 70% of Koreans have forgotten how to speak Korean language and consider Russian as their first language. As a result, the ethnic Korean people could have emerged as experts in various fields while still maintaining a unique culture of their own as the ethnic Korean people.
