2021 : l’héritage soviétique de la minorité coréenne et les expériences migratoires en Corée du Sud

Abstract

Does the Soviet past continue to structure the social existence of Korean minorities thirty years after the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991? This question is particularly relevant for Koreans who have chosen to “immigrate” to South Korea after more than half a century of isolation aggravated by sovietization and Russian cultural assimilation. An empirical analysis illustrates how the Soviet legacy has affected their migratory experiences, which are marked by professional precarity, social marginalization and cultural discrimination.
