The ruins of a castle from Korea's ancient Balhae Kingdom (698-926) have been discovered in Primorsky Krai ― known as Yeonhaeju here in the past ― 360 kilometers from Vladivostok, Russia.

The Natural Cultural Properties Research Institute announced Thursday that after observing the site with their Russian counterparts, the Koksharovka-1 area included castle remains from Balhae and also numerous relics.

That's what I was saying it wasn't a particularly important region. even in the our records, the city's name doesn't appear. All we know is that it was once part of the Solbin area, and that's it.

>>213456543 (OP)
what's most interesting about vladivostok to me is that most cars there are japan imports and they all have the wheel on the right while russia is right side driving

>>213467062
I live in one of the Ural regions and also drive 20+ years old Japanese right-wheel car. It was very cheap to import them back in the days and they had amazing quality. People import them even now.

You adapt to that after some time. Sometimes it can be inconvenient, but it's alright, I think.

Do japanese & koreans still casually ferry there or has politics changed?

>>213467344
From what I've read it'd stopped for sometime. But then started again in 2024 or so. I cannot tell for sure, but I suppose people go to Korea often, because the ferry is cheaper and we don't need a visa for Korea. As for Japan a flight from Moscow will be cheaper or on par with the price of the ferry to Japan.

>>213467220

I believe reunification may become possible once Kim Jong-un dies.

The fact that he appears publicly only with his daughter and not a son suggests that there may be some issue with his son (perhaps a disability or poor health)

A regime like North Korea, authoritarian, totalitarian, paranoid needs a tough, iron-fisted man at the top to keep control

A woman just can't run a dictatorship like that.
That's why I think once Kim Jong-un dies, reunification becomes a real possibility.

>>213467834
I've seen some videos with our expert on North Korea. He says that Kim is feminist and favours women in his family much more than men.

>>213467834
Do you know that behind dictator there are bunch of beneficiaries? Juche shit is not cult of personallity purely but a doctrine. And china won't allow it to have nafo bases

>>213467957
While it is true that dictatorships often have beneficiaries behind the scenes, the ruling elite within such regimes are not immune to internal power struggles and factionalism. In highly closed societies like North Korea, the elite may not always be fully aligned with the dictator, and fractures or conflicts can emerge at any time. Beneficiaries do not guarantee permanent stability.

Juche ideology is officially presented as a political doctrine emphasizing independence and self-reliance, but in reality, it serves largely as a tool to legitimize the cult of personality around the Kim family across three generations. So, Kim Jong-un dies, it will likely become meaningless, and the regime itself might even collapse.

I think the odds are 60/40.

>>213467834
Kim doesn't look like an iron-fisted man, more like a spoilt McDonalds enjoyer. It seems that there's some kind of a military clique that rules N.Korea, and Kim is just a symbol.

I'd like Koreas to unite tho, but it seems that Southerners will always look down upon Northeners.

>>213467834
Is there even a point anymore? They've been separated for so long and under such different conditions that they're practically completely different nations that happen to speak the same language

>>213468228
>>213467834
China won’t allow a US ally to be on their border, if the Kim regime falls China will put a puppet in North Korea

>>213468265
The language itself is the same anyway, and the real issue lies in modern slang and new expressions that have developed separately. But as the North and South cultures come together, those terms will naturally spread in the North and be picked up easily. Since the language is fundamentally the same, adopting new words and expressions would be simple, and anyone using them can quickly learn and understand them.

>>213468313
That can be agreed upon as long as the status quo is maintained. In other words, it means not allowing US troops to be stationed on North Korean soil. What China ultimately fears is the deployment of US forces in the northern provinces of Pyongan, Hamgyong, and Hwanghae. Therefore, if there’s a promise not to deploy US troops in these three northern regions and to leave things as they are now, China can be appeased i guess

We don’t know who the U.S. president will be when Kim Jong-un dies, but the achievement of eliminating North Korea through Korean unification and stabilizing East Asia will be a diplomatic accomplishment that any American president would greatly desire.

That’s why I believe Korea, China, and the U.S. can reach an agreement to not deploy U.S. troops in Pyongan, Hamgyong, and Hwanghae provinces.

>>213468489
That's right. Since the language is the same, people will quickly adapt to newly created modern expressions after hearing them a few times. And even if there's something they don't understand, we live in an age of information they can easily look it up on the internet. So I don't think the language gap will be a serious issue.

Honestly, I think they just watching a few dramas or movies would be enough for them to adapt right away.

>>213468703
It's not necessarily true that Korean unification offers no benefits for China. While China may be concerned about the geopolitical risks particularly the presence of U.S. troops near its border unification could also bring potential economic and strategic advantages for Beijing if handled through diplomacy.

A unified Korea, especially if it assures China that no American military bases will be placed in the northern provinces (Pyongan, Hamgyong, Hwanghae), could act as a neutral buffer state rather than a direct extension of U.S. influence. This could be more stable and predictable than a collapsed North Korea or prolonged instability.

>>213468827
Seems like daydreaming. Just like offering china to make taiwan independent country

Like or not SK will have to fight. You will die to protect SK for hapas to live safely. Too many useless men jn SK they needed in military

>>213468957
Taiwan's geopolitical value is overstated. Even if Taiwan were to become independent or remain in its current ambiguous status, it wouldn't fundamentally change China's access to the Pacific. China already borders the East and South China Seas and has multiple naval routes through the First Island Chain including passages near the Philippines, Okinawa, and the Miyako Strait which cannot be blockaded without provoking international backlash. Taiwan's position may be sensitive, but it is not irreplaceable or a chokepoint in the traditional sense.

On the other hand, North Korea shares a direct land border with China, and its collapse or absorption into a U.S- allied Korea could result in U.S. forces stationed right along that border. That's a vastly different scenario and one that genuinely threatens China's strategic buffer and national security perception.

Please don’t distort history. Actually, it was Japan that invaded, which sparked the war the Russo-Japanese War. After the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan sought to turn Korea into a colony. So Japan kept troops stationed and interfered in Korea’s internal affairs, and naturally, Koreans couldn’t tolerate that.So Korea sought help from Russia, but Japan preemptively attacked Russia, starting the Russo-Japanese War. The conflict was about Japan trying to assert control, not about Japan "preventing Russia from invading" Korea.

If you hadn’t invaded Korea under the pretext of suppressing peasant rebellions, neither the First Sino-Japanese War nor the Russo-Japanese War would have happened.

>>213468827
>especially if it assures China that no American military bases will be placed in the northern provinces (Pyongan, Hamgyong, Hwanghae)

How will such a promise be monitored? Will Chinese observers be stationed in North Korea to monitor observance to the promise?

The only way that China would be ok with Korean unification is if South Korea ends its military partnerships with America, and promises to stay neutral in the event of a China-USA war over Taiwan.

And by the way, it's not just China that will have to approve Korean unification, it's Russia too given that it will also be neighbours to a united Korea. And Russia-USA relations are even worse than China-USA relations.

From the U.S. perspective, if they promise not to station troops on North Korean soil and then break that promise, it would provoke strong backlash from China and cause major diplomatic controversy. Breaking an agreement with a major power is very different from breaking one with a smaller country.

For this reason, the U.S. would have strong incentives to uphold such a commitment.The U.S. knows that breaking diplomatic promises among great powers damages its global reputation and risks serious geopolitical consequences

Moreover, our priority should be developing North Korean territory rather than focusing on stationing U.S. troops there. . So, such a scenario is highly unlikely to happen.

Also, for Russia, although it shares a border with North Korea, its direct interest in Korean unification is less pronounced compared to China's, especially since Russia's strategic focus is more toward its western borders and Europe. Also, Russia's deteriorating relations with the U.S. do not necessarily translate into control over Korean peninsula affairs.

Which is precisely why Russia doesn’t want American shenanigans on the Korean peninsula diverting its focus from Europe.

So would China invading Taiwan and America defending the latter. We’re in a new cold war, China and America see each other as their biggest rivals. If America reneges on its promise not to station troops in North Korea, there’s little China could do about it besides going to war, during which American troops in North Korea would have a defensive advantage.

>>213470175
Yur logic assumes that international agreements between major powers are meaningless, especially in moments of strategic transition. But even in a new Cold War, credibility matters.

If the U.S. makes a formal agreement not to station troops in the northern provinces and then violates it, it wouldn't just provoke China, it would signal to the entire world that U.S. diplomatic commitments cannot be trusted. This would damage Washington's credibility not only with China and Russia, but also with allies in Europe and Asia who depend on America's word.

Unlike during a hot war, maintaining trust and restraint in a Cold War context is what prevents escalation in the first place. Besides, the strategic value of placing American troops in former North Korean territory is not necessarily worth the diplomatic cost. <Development>, <integration>, and <stability> in the unified Korea will take precedence over militarization.

siberia was first settled by ukrainian cossacks, it then served as an exile for political dissidents and criminals, many from poland, then it was a dumping ground for pretty much every ethnic minority in the soviet union, like volga germans and balts, and russian settlers also came after industrialization. of course these siberian noviops also mixed with natives to some degree. the end result is pic related
