Traditional culture change of Soviet Koreans - A Study on the Korean Society in 1950s -

Abstract

Since 1937, Koreans have been forced to migrate from the Yeonhaeju to the Soviet Union, their history has been a sore scar of our nation. Although interests in them have recently increased, there are still lacks of concrete approaches in various fields. The reasons lie in that it was hard to trace their epidemic tracks for a long time, but mainly it focused on imigration process and the harsh life after immigration. However, if we consider Koreans to be true compatriots, it is necessary to objectively examine the field of their lives in their place. At this time, the ‘Lenin Bchi’ newspaper is the only data that can be seen in the daily life of the Goryeo people. Of course, as this newspaper was a publishing house, all the articles were thoroughly censored, but if you trace the truth behind the story that does not end with a one-dimensional interpretation, that is implied by the article. For example, it uses satirical and realistic criticisms classified as “feuilleton”, such as articles, advertisement articles, As a result of this direct participation, the number of Korean residents will gradually increase over time, which will enable them to trace the happiness and grief of Koreans at the time, and the level of their native language ability. Therefore, this article intends to gauge the perception of traditional culture in the process of assimilation of Koreans into Russia by closely examining the “Lenin Bchi” newspaper, the only information system of Goryeo people. Thus, if we confirm the process of disappearing traditional culture and the process of assimilation process of Koreans, we will be able to draw the topography of Goryeo Diaspora more concretely.
