ABSTRACT

This paper explores the formation and evolution of Korean literature in the former Soviet Union, with a focus on its poetic development, themes, and significance. Initiated by Jo Myeonghee and mediated through platforms such as Seonbong and Lenin Gichi, Korean literature reflected the historical trajectory of the Korean diaspora. Key poetic themes ranged from socialist idealism and national liberation to assimilation and personal lyricism. Despite difficult conditions—such as limited publishing opportunities and a decline in Korean-language writers—the literature persisted and evolved. As an expression of Korean identity abroad, it belongs within the scope of national literature and warrants further study alongside early North Korean literature.
