| Summary/Abstract |
WITH THE END OF THE COLD WAR and collapse of the bipolar system, Russian leaders reoriented national foreign policy towards cooperation with the West and other stable, moderate and economically strong states. The Republic of Korea (ROK) was assigned a place of no small importance among them as Moscow counted on South Korean loans and private investment in exchange for natural resources and space and military technologies. In parallel, since the 1990s humanitarian links between the two nations have strengthened considerably, aided by the fact that there is a Korean community of 600,000 on ex-Soviet territory.
