Abstract

The paper presents an in depth study on the establishment of an anti-Japanese partisan in Suchan province of the Primorskii kraii during the Siberian Civil War. The Suchan Korean Partisan Army(SKPA hereafter) initiated various Korean armed forces and the Red Army in Siberia. It was organized in 1918 in the Nikolayevka(Sinyeong-dong), a local Korean village in Suchan province. After the SKPA was reorganized in late 1920, it was associated with other local units of the Korean and Russian Partisan in the Third-Fuzin, named 'Primorskii kraii Korean Conference'. The study deals with the historical development of SKPA focusing on significant issues that shaped its heroic contribution. The movement which was guided by a socialist principle as majority of its army were peasant farmers from Suchan province. Contact with the Russian partisan forces of the region strengthened its socialist nature. It underwent the process of dissolution until it was finally reorganized. Incidents like the uprising of the Czech Republic army and the dispatch of Japanese military in Siberia among others contributed to its further development. It also followed extension and integration with other Korean nationalist movement as well as in Far East of Russia. Finally, a major turnaround happened as the movement tried to consolidate after the April incident in Primorski Kraii. It then continued to fight against imperialist intervention group and the White Army.
