ABSTRACT

This study aims to argue the validity of Reinstatement of citizenship of Koryuin. The Korean government did not do this, even though it should have been a matter of national necessity for the return of Koreans forcibly drafted by Japan after Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule. In particular, the Goryeo people who were relocated or forced into Russian territory were deprived of the opportunity to return, and had to suffer the double pain of forced migration and oppression by Stalin's persecution and oppression. After the dissolution of the former Soviet Union due to instability in their status, the forcibly displaced Koreans suffered discrimination and oppression as a stateless or another stranger in each independent state. Despite being victims of history, the opportunity to return to Korea after Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule was blocked and the opportunity to choose nationality was deprived. Therefore, it is reasonable that life as a stranger was compulsory at a national level, not at their choice, and that the opportunity to restore their nationality should be given.
