| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyzes academic research into the life and work of Karl I. Waeber, the first Russian charge d'affaires and consul general in Korea. The positive contribution by scholars to studies of this prominent diplomat's professional biography is demonstrated. Though Waeber's diplomatic work in Korea has been partially reflected in works by B.D. Pak and B.B. Pak on the history of Russian-Korean relations, as well as in a number of articles by other authors, a special monograph by the latter Pak was the first to be devoted to this topic. At the center of her studies was a detailed presentation of Waeber's responsibilities and objectives in Korea, the specific forms they took, and the conditions under which they were carried out; an analysis of Waeber's influence on Russian government policy toward Korea; and an analysis of the international situation in his day that influenced his various decisions.

The significance of this event for researchers can hardly be overestimated. The history of the establishment and development of official Russian-Korean relations at the end of the 19th century, as well as a number of important events in the history of Korea in the precolonial period, are inextricably linked with Waeber's name. However, although historians have been writing about his professional activities for decades, very little personal information about him was known until now, and there were no photographs of him at all. With the publication of the book by S. Bräsel, who is privileged to have found this archive, researchers for the first
