Institute of Russian Studies

The Institute of Russian Studies has been established in September 2004 with the purpose of contributing to the development of cooperation between Korea and Russia for peaceful unification of the Korean Peninsula by studying various Russian related issues including
politics·diplomacy·military·economy·international trade·society·culture to enhance understanding of relevant fields. Gangwon-do, which is the site of Hallym University, can have a leading role to build the “East Sea Economic Zone” and an academic center connecting the Far East Siberian region of Russia and Gangwon-do is required in that perspective. While common Russian institutes in Korea focus on “central” regions such as Moscow, the Institute of Russian Studies aims to maximize preoccupying effect by focusing on research of the Far East Siberian region and build a research base that can compete with universities in metropolitan areas.
