| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The article assesses prospects for the development of relations between the
Russian Federation and the Korean Peninsula states in the short and medium
terms. By assessing their current state in the context of global changes
in the world, the authors determine areas where the national interests
of Russia, North Korea and South Korea overlap, identify factors that can
influence the development of relations between Russia and these states
(primarily bilateral, but also taking into account the third party’s influence
on them), and consider possible trajectories for their further evolution. The
article concludes that in the short term, relations between Russia and South
Korea will tend to deteriorate, although the speed of this deterioration will
depend on the steps to be taken by Seoul. Relations between Moscow and
Pyongyang, on the contrary, will formally improve, although the speed of
this improvement will be determined, among other things, by the situation
around the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue. |
