ABSTRACT

This article is to review the research trend in South Korea and reorder the historiography on the organization and activities of the Soviet military advisory Group who had been dispached to the DPRK. Little is known about the Soviet military advisory Group because there is a limit to the research by the disclosure of a comprehensive report on the organization itself. The Soviets has been sending military advisers as a means of foreign military cooperation. After the liberation of North Korea, the Soviet military advisory Group worked on the construction of the North Korean military, reinforcement, military cadres training and didn't spare support for the Korean-war 1950-1953 from the planning stage. This is going to be another case of the Soviet Union intervening in the Korean War. Thus, research on the organization reality itself and activities of the Soviet military advisory Group to North Korea is still at a standstill. Razuvaev’s document shows that 33 Officer charged to each North Korean corps with the duty of 'Officer describing combat activities'. It means possible presence of a comprehensive assessment of the initial military advisers. If this original material is excavated, it is expected to open the horizons of a comprehensive study on the organization and activity substance of the Soviet military advisory Group.
