Аннотация

This article explores the role of Korean migrants in the socio-economic development of the Russian Far East during the second half of the 19th century. It examines the historical context of Korean migration, the reasons for emigration from Korea, and the conditions that enabled their successful settlement in the Primorye and Amur regions. The study highlights the economic contributions of Koreans, particularly in agriculture, as well as their gradual integration into local society while preserving cultural identity. The presence of Korean communities not only supported the development of remote territories but also strengthened Russia's geopolitical position in East Asia.
