1937 What was the situation of180,000 Koreans exiled to Central Asia by Stalin?

In order to find out the current situation of180,000 Koreans exiled to Central Asia by Stalin in 1937, I think it is necessary to find out why Stalin did this first. In fact, as early as the middle of18th century, with the gradual decline and decline of the Qing Dynasty, Russia occupied a large area of Siberia in succession during the Qing Dynasty, and this fertile land eventually became the Far East of the Soviet Union.

The Far East is adjacent to the northeast of China and the Korean Peninsula. At this time, under the influence of many historical factors, many Koreans left their homes, moved to the Far East, gradually settled in the Far East, and continued to grow and develop. By 1937, the number has reached180,000.

This year, Japan started a foreign war, when the most elite troops were sent to the Soviet Union, because the Siberian region occupied by the Soviet Union was rich in resources and sparsely populated. For the island country of Japan, it can not only satisfy the survival of tens of millions of Japanese, but also help Japan get rid of the predicament of poor resources.

Stalin was very aware of Japan's aggressive ambitions, and therefore he was very worried about the180,000 Koreans in the Far East. Long before Japan started the war, it occupied the Korean peninsula and allowed some Koreans to recognize Japanese rule. If the Far East/KLOC-0.8 million North Koreans recognize Japanese rule, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Moreover, Germany is also eyeing the Soviet Union. In order to avoid being caught in a dilemma, Stalin decided to move180,000 North Koreans from the Far East. So in 1937, Stalin signed the Resolution on Relocation of Korean Residents on the Border of the Far East, and decided to relocate180,000 Koreans to Central Asia.

The efficient Soviet Union completed the feat of relocating180,000 Koreans in just a few months. At that time, North Koreans in the Far East had no power to resist this decision and had to move by force, including about100000 in Kazakhstan and about 80000 in Uzbekistan.

Because of forced relocation, the civil rights of Koreans were once restricted in Central Asia, and these unfair treatments gradually eased after the war. Later, the behemoth of the Soviet Union was lifted, and many ethnic groups chose to move back to their own countries, but not many Koreans living in Central Asia moved back to their hometown.

After a century of reproduction, most North Koreans in Central Asia can no longer speak Korean, and a hundred years later, their familiar relatives are long gone. For most Koreans, continuing to live in Central Asia is the most realistic choice.

Today, the number of Koreans exiled to Central Asia by Stalin in 1937 has grown to 300,000. They have been widely integrated into local life and made great contributions to local life and production. At the same time, with the help of these Central Asian Koreans, many Central Asian countries began to trade with South Korea and other countries, making South Korea the second largest trading partner of Central Asia after Russia.
