my songs were my type of reactions to the events and news ,
says songwriter yuliy kim , one of russia ' s famous bards , who was barred from giving public concerts .
i would write a song about whatever was discussed . i would sing it during the discussion . if there would be someone with a tape recorder they would tape it and take it to another party . songs were spread quickly like interesting stories .
after the first generation of settlers , koryo - saram tended to abandon traditional korean naming practices and follow russian naming patterns , using a russian given name , russian - style patronymic ( derived from the father ' s name , whether russian or korean ) , and korean surname . for example , kim jong - il registered as yuri irsenovich kim ( юрий ирсенович ким ) in soviet records , where the
irsen
in the patronymic consisted of the cyrillization of the given name of his father kim il - sung . [ 25 ] [ 26 ] succeeding generations tended to have both a russian given name and a russian patronymic . [ 27 ] that differs from the pattern typical in the united states , where korean american parents often register their children with a korean given name as their legal middle name ( e . g . daniel dae kim , harold hongju koh ) .

the film produced a mixed reaction in the creative circles of the generation of the 1960s . many people didn’t like the light - hearted and humorous approach to the cult figures of that time : tarkovsky , tabakov , efremov , solonitsyn . fate brings them together with alexeev , whom nobody knows , he has an argument with the gun inventor kalashnikov himself , and winds up in the hands of the kgb due to his careless behavior on the day of gagarin’s flight . the well - known bards sergey nikitin and yuliy kim expressed very negative views of the film , declaring that it depicts the bards’ movement inaccurately .
kim ' s father was a soviet korean , the son of a man who immigrated to the russian far east in 1908 ; his mother was of russian ethnicity . he claims to be a descendant of 15th - century korean author kim si - seup . he was born in sergievka , tulkibas district , chimkent oblast , kazakh soviet socialist republic ( today south kazakhstan province , kazakhstan ) and spent his early years there . in 1948 , his family moved to the russian far east and sakhalin , where he lived until 1957 before entering an art school in moscow .
aside from his original works , kim has also translated a number of kazakh language works into russian , including abdijamil nurpeisov ' s last duty ( последний долг ) and mukhtar auezov ' s path of abay ( a re - translation , to replace an older soviet - era version perceived as insufficient ) .
bogoraz became well known when , on august 25 , 1968 , she organized seven people to protest in red square against the soviet union ' s invasion of czechoslovakia at the 1968 red square demonstration , together with pavel litvinov , natalya gorbanevskaya , vadim delaunay and other protesters . although , kgb was not successful to determine who of participants kept each banner , all the banners were qualified as
antisoviet
. for this , she was arrested , tried and sentenced to four years of exile in siberia , which she spent in a woodworking plant . l . bogoraz is mentioned in the song ilyich ( in russian ) by yuliy kim , available at several sites . that song is about reaction of l . brezhnev on the demonstration catches the espiritu of the epoc of brezhnev stagnation , although at the time of writing of the song , the text of the letter of andropov to central committee was not available .
yul brynner was born yuliy borisovich bryner on july 11 , 1920 , in vladivostok , russia , to father boris bryner , a swiss - mongolian engineer , and mother marousia blagavidova . while brynner is best known for his acting career , and , more specifically , for his baldpate , rich voice and compelling screen presence , he was also a musician in his early years . after his father abandoned the family , brynner & apos ; s mother took him and his sister to china , then to paris , where he played guitar and sang gypsy songs in parisian nightclubs .
why even thinking people yielded to
flag - waving
, what will happen if putin’s regime makes concessions and what people in moscow talk about in the kitchen .
but he became a dissident , he participated in the human rights movement from 1965 , signed collective letter addressed to the authorities with the demands to observe human rights .
his satirical songs , like the songs by vysotsky , galich , vizbor , okudzhava and other bards , were sung by soviet intellectuals in the close company of friends – around campfire and in moscow kitchens . unsophisticated poetic metaphor often enciphered what people did not dare say aloud .
the idiocy of soviet dogmas seemed to be over and done with . but people with the sense of inner freedom still feel dissidents in russia today . while there is only one official authority in the country – the president of the russian federation – things cannot be different .
on march 1 , 2014 , he came to the maidan , and three weeks later he signed the statement of the participants of intelligentsia congress
against war , against isolation of russia , against restoration of totalitarianism .
we , representatives of russian intelligentsia , are obliged to warn the authorities against making a historical mistake – the desire to take control over another , recently fraternal country of ukraine with the help of the russian armed forces . the first step – annexation of the crimea to russia – has already been made , first blood has been shed .
a lot of blood has been shed since then – blood of both ukrainians and russians . . .
song about the fifth column
performed by the author . video : igor gryzlov / youtube
– i cannot imagine how they can do it so far . not so many people dare tempt their fortune by participating in rallies and demonstrations when they can be sentenced for at least two and a half years for this . however , the authorities have to manoeuvre somehow . the story with navalny brothers is a good example . they did not dare put him to prison , but they did everything to shut his mouth , they put his brother to prison as a hostage . platon lebedev is another hostage ; he is not allowed to go abroad in order to keep khodorkovsky on a short leash . the method of hostage - taking used in the ussr is also practised in russia today . .
– in one of your interviews , going back to the soviet times , you remembered the twentieth congress of the communist party and khrushchev ' s report
on the cult of personality and its consequences ,
that exposed terrible crimes of the stalin epoch . you said that this event somehow brought people from under hypnosis . in your opinion , what can bring the russians from under hypnosis that make them shout
crimea is ours
?
– the current regime in russia has driven itself in a deadlock from which it is simply necessary to find a way out , otherwise it will collapse together with the country . this need is growing every day . the regime will have to seek a way out and make serious concessions . otherwise , society will come into play .
for example , saddam hussein presented all his defeats as victories – both the story with kuwait and the war with iran . victory monuments were erected in the centre of baghdad commemorating these defeats . but it will not work this way in russia . so the affair is coming to a head .
– today , emigration from russia has reached its peak for the last 15 years . when leaving the country temporarily of for good , people say that it has become stuffy and scary in russia . you are especially susceptible to stuffiness from the soviet times . do you feel it in russia ?
– yes , it is a perfectly fine sense of growing lack of air . it was once said about block that he died for lack of air . many years later , in the early 1980s , before the appointment of gorbachev , okudzhava answered practically the same to the question about how he felt ,
i ' m dying .
he lacked air , too .

– you have a wonderful , funny and , at first glance , simple song
inner voice
, which performed from putin’s second self . what do you think , does the inner voice of real putin whispers only what its master wants to hear , or do you admit that there can be a kind of internal struggle . after all , he was taught something in school , he was read kind fairy tales before bedtime . . .
– there is no point in trying to reveal putin ' s inner world by his actions because he is a very practical and pragmatic person , he is a good tactician but a poor strategist . he is certainly a very reserved person . playing open games is his state necessity .
maidan made a very strong impression on me . i realized that putin did not like what was going on in ukraine , but i could not assume that he would venture to seize the crimea
– today , a year later , ukraine recalls the tragic events on the maidan . you happened to be there , too , though a little later , in march , when yanukovych had shamefully fled the country , and it seemed that the worst was over . did not you have a premonition that putin will not forgive maidan to ukraine ?
– i was on the maidan on march 1 . the day of shooting in institutska street had already passed , but i followed the trail of those events . the atmosphere on the maidan made a very strong impression on me .
i realized , i felt , i knew that putin did not like what was going on in ukraine , but i could not assume that this will be followed by the seizure of the crimea ( although there was some movements already , but it did not come to the invasion of
green men
) and then donbass . no one would have thought that putin could venture that .

yul brynner was an actor of stage and screen most famous for portraying king mongkut of siam in the king and i .
born in russia in 1920 , actor yul brynner began playing his most famous role , king mongkut of siam in the king and i , on broadway in 1951 . after more than three years and 1 , 246 performances , he starred in the film version in 1956 , winning an academy award for best actor . brynner then returned to the stage for 3 , 379 more theatrical performances . he also starred in such classic films as the ten commandments and the magnificent seven . he died in new york city in 1985 .
after a brief career as a trapeze artist in france , brynner moved to the united states in 1941 and began acting with a touring company . he made his broadway debut in lute sang in 1946 .
in 1949 , yul brynner made his film debut in port of new york , co - starring with scott brady and richard rober . not long after , he landed his most famous role , playing king mongkut of siam in oscar and hammerstein & apos ; s production of the king and i in 1951 . actress mary martin had recommended brynner for the role in the broadway musical , and the actor garnered wide critical and commercial acclaim for his performance .
after more than three years and 1 , 246 performances , brynner reprised the role of king mongkut for the screen version of the king and i in 1956 , winning an academy award for best actor for his performance in the film . the dazzling , academy award - winning success that might have become a trap for a lesser star became the ongoing glory of brynner & apos ; s career , from the peak of his stardom to his untimely death . but it was by no means his only role or his only achievement .
following the release of 1956 & apos ; s the king and i , brynner returned to the stage for an additional 3 , 379 stage performances , the last of which occurred in 1985 . along the way , the actor also starred in such classic films as the ten commandments ( 1956 ) , anastasia ( 1956 ) , the brothers karamazov ( 1958 ) and the magnificent seven ( 1960 ) .

rock

yul brynner died of lung cancer on october 10 , 1985 , in new york city—the same day that film actor / director orson welles passed away . brynner is buried at the st . robert churchyard in la tourraine , france .
a true sophisticate of deliberately mysterious origins , beloved as much by men as by women , yul brynner was at home in a wide variety of languages and social environments . today , the actor remembered for his looks , range of talents and energy on the set , as well as his capacity to draw others into the spell of his charm .

larisa iosifovna bogoraz ( full name : larisa iosifovna bogoraz - brukhman ( bogoraz was her father ' s last name , brukhman her mother ' s ) , russian language : лариса иосифовна богораз - брухман ; august 8 , 1929 - april 6 , 2004 ) was a dissident in the soviet union .
born into a family of communist party bureaucrats , she graduated as a linguist from kharkov university in ukraine , and in 1950 , married her first husband , yuli daniel , a writer . together , they moved to moscow .
her marriage to daniel would ultimately lead to her becoming involved in activism . in 1965 , daniel and a friend of his , andrei sinyavsky , were arrested for a number of writings that they had had published overseas under pseudonyms ( see sinyavsky - daniel trial ) . the trial of the two men was the beginning of a crackdown on dissent under general secretary leonid brezhnev . they were both sent to terms in forced labor camps . after their detention , bogoraz wrote to brezhnev in protest , despite knowing that such an act could land her in prison .
daniel was released in 1970 , while bogoraz was still in siberia . their marriage did not survive much longer , and they soon divorced . however , soon after her release , bogoraz resumed her resistance of the soviet regime . she signed many public appeals to the authorities . she co - wrote an underground book , memory , which detailed stalin ' s terror and was subsequently published overseas . she also contributed to the underground publication chronicle of current events . in 1975 , she wrote a letter to yuri andropov , who was the head of the kgb at the time , requesting that he open the organization ' s archives .
she later married anatoly marchenko , another prominent dissident . together , they co - wrote a number of appeals . however , he was arrested in 1980 , and unlike daniel , did not survive his sentence . bogoraz launched a campaign in 1986 to have all political prisoners freed . the campaign was successful , as the following year , general secretary mikhail gorbachev began releasing them . this came too late for marchenko , who died as a result of a hunger strike shortly before the initial release .
in 1989 , bogoraz joined , and subsequently became chairwoman of , the newly re - founded moscow helsinki group . she acted as a bridge between the old guard of dissidents , and the new generation that were arising as the soviet union dissolved .
after the demise of the soviet union , bogoraz continued her activism , visiting prisoners and holding seminars on the defense of human rights . she also became chairwoman of the seminar on human rights , a joint russian - american nongovernmental organization . she resigned from the latter in 1996 , but continued to exert influence in human rights circles up until her death .
not long before her death , she issued an open letter condemning both the 1999 nato bombing of yugoslavia and the 2003 iraq war . she died on april 6 , 2004 , aged 74 , after a series of strokes
how soviet kitchens became hotbeds of dissent and culture : the salt after stalin ' s death , people in the soviet union could begin to debate politics again without fear of repression . this
thawing
took place in private kitchens , where music and art flourished , too .

a typical russian kitchen inside an apartment built during the early 1960s , when nikita khrushchev led the soviet union — what later became known as khrushchev apartments .
when nikita khrushchev emerged as the leader of the soviet union after stalin ' s death in 1953 , one of the first things he addressed was the housing shortage and the need for more food . at the time , thousands of people were living in cramped communal apartments , sharing one kitchen and one bathroom with sometimes up to 20 other families .
people wanted to live in their own apartment ,
says sergei khrushchev , the son of nikita khrushchev .
but in stalin ' s time you cannot find this . when my father came to power , he proclaimed that there will be mass construction of apartment buildings , and in each apartment will live only one family .
they were called khrushchevkas — five - story buildings made of prefabricated concrete panels .
they were horribly built ; you could hear your neighbor ,
says edward shenderovich , an entrepreneur and russian poet . the apartments had small toilets , very low ceilings and very small kitchens .
but
no matter how tiny it was , it was yours ,
says journalist masha karp , who was born in moscow and worked as an editor for the bbc world service from 1991 to 2009 .
this kitchen was the place where people could finally get together and talk at home without fearing the neighbors in the communal flat .
these more private kitchens were emblematic of the completely new era of soviet life under khrushchev .
it was called a thaw , and for a reason ,
says karp .
like in the winter when you have a lot of snow but spots are already green and the new grass was coming ,
says russian writer vladimir voinovich .
in khrushchev times it was a very good time for inspiration . a little more liberal than before .

the individual kitchens in these tiny apartments , which were approximately 300 to 500 square feet , became hot spots of culture . music was played , poetry was recited , underground tapes were exchanged , forbidden art and literature circulated , politics was debated and deep friendships were forged .
one of the reasons why kitchen culture developed in russia is because there were no places to meet ,
says shenderovich .
you couldn ' t have political discussions in public , at your workplace . you couldn ' t go to cafes — they were state - owned . the kitchen became the place where russian culture kept living , untouched by the regime .
in a country with little or no place to gather for the free expression of ideas and no place to talk politics without fear of repression , these new kitchens made it possible for friends to gather privately in one place .
these
dissident kitchens
took the place of uncensored lecture halls , unofficial art exhibitions , clubs , bars and dating services .
the kitchen was for intimate circle of your close friends ,
says alexander genis , russian writer and radio journalist .
when you came to the kitchen , you put on the table some vodka and something from your balcony — not refrigerator , but balcony , like pickled mushrooms . something pickled . sour is the taste of russia .
furious discussions took place over pickled cabbage , boiled potatoes , sardines , sprats and herring .
kitchens became debating societies ,
remembers gregory ( grisha ) freidin , professor of slavic languages and literature at stanford university .
even to this day , political windbaggery is referred to as ' kitchen table talk . '
even in the kitchen , the kgb was an ever - present threat . people were wary of bugs and hidden microphones . phones were unplugged or covered with pillows . water was turned on so no one could hear .
some of us had been followed ,
says freidin .
sometimes there would be kgb agents stationed outside the apartments and in the stairwells . during those times we expected to be arrested any night .
as the night wore on , kitchen conversations moved from politics to literature . much literature was forbidden and could not be published or read openly in soviet society . kitchens became the place where people read and exchanged samizdat , or self - published books and documents .

a samizdat collection of poems and song lyrics by vladimir vysotsky , published shortly after the famous soviet bard ' s death in 1980 .
people would type hundreds of pages on a typewriter , using carbon paper to create four or five copies , which were passed from one person to the next — political writings , fiction , poetry , philosophy .
samizdat is , i think , the precursor of internet ,
says genis .
you put everything on it , like facebook . and it wasn ' t easy to get typewriters because all typewriters must be registered by the kgb . that ' s how people got caught and sentenced to jail .
the kitchen sisters , davia nelson and nikki silva , are peabody award - winning independent producers who create radio and multimedia stories for npr and public broadcast . their hidden kitchens series travels the world , chronicling little - known kitchen rituals and traditions that explore how communities come together through food — from modern - day sicily to medieval england , the australian outback to the desert oasis of california .
samizdat was the most important part of our literature life ,
says genis .
and literature was the most important part of our life , period . literature for us was like movies for americans or music for young people .
in 1973 , masha karp ' s friend got hold of a typewritten copy of boris pasternak ' s dr . zhivago .
she told me , ' i ' m reading it at night . i can ' t let it out of my hands . but you can come to my kitchen and read it here . ' so i read it in four afternoons .
genis ' family read gulag archipelago , by aleksandr solzhenitsyn , in the kitchen .
it ' s a huge book , three volumes , and all our family sat at the kitchen . and we were afraid of our neighbor , but she was sleeping . and my father , my mother , my brother , me and my grandma — who was very old and had very little education — all sit at the table and read page , give page , the whole night . maybe it was the best night of my life .
what happened with samizdat books happened with music , too . magnitizdat are recordings made on reel - to - reel tape recorders . tape recorders were expensive but permitted in the soviet union for home recordings of bards , poets , folksingers and songwriters , made and passed from friend to friend . people had hundreds of tapes they shared through the kitchens .
the most famous bard was vladimir vysotsky , who was like bob dylan of russia ,
says genis .
that ' s what you can listen to in kitchen .

before the availability of the tape recorder and during the 1950s , when vinyl was scarce , ingenious russians began recording banned bootlegged jazz , boogie woogie and rock ' n ' roll on exposed x - ray film salvaged from hospital waste bins and archives .

says sergei khrushchev .
before the tape recorders they used the x - ray film of bones and recorded music on the bones , bone music .
they would cut the x - ray into a crude circle with manicure scissors and use a cigarette to burn a hole ,

most kitchens had a radio that reached beyond the borders and censorship of the soviet union . people would crowd around the kitchen listening to broadcasts from the bbc , voice of america and radio liberte .
it was part of our life in the kitchen ,
says vladimir voinovich , author of the life and extraordinary adventures of private ivan chonkin .
it was a window to the freedom .
voinovich ' s books were circulated in samizdat and smuggled out of the country . one of his pieces was broadcast by a foreign radio station .
i heard some bbc voice reading my chapters . after that i was immediately summoned to kgb .
voinovich was expelled from the writers union and later forced to emigrate .

delaunay was born to a russian - french family of soviet intelligentsia . he was the son of nikolai borisovich delone , a soviet physicist . his grandfather , boris delaunay , was a prominent soviet mathematician and creator of the delaunay triangulation . among his ancestors was marquis bernard - rené de launay , the last governor of the bastille , murdered by the attackers on that castle .
delaunay studied at moscow matshkola (
mathematical school
) no . 2 , one of the best in the country at that time , then at the department of philology at the moscow pedagogical institute . as a student , he also worked as a freelance author for the literaturnaya gazeta . delaunay started to write poetry at the age of 13 . his poetry was distributed by samizdat and some of it was published abroad .
on january 22 , 1967 , delaunay took part in a demonstration on pushkin square protesting the arrest of writers alexander ginzburg and yuri galanskov ( leading to the trial of the four ) as well as articles 70 and 190 of the soviet penal code —
anti - soviet agitation
and
libel against the soviet government
. he was arrested and given a one - year suspended sentence ( incidentally in accordance with article 190 of the penal code ) . his sentence was much lighter than that of another organizer of the same meeting , vladimir bukovsky , who got three years in a labor camp .
delaunay ' s sentence required him to move away from moscow , so he went to novosibirsk state university to a friend and pupil of his grandfather , aleksandr aleksandrov . in novosibirsk , he continued his philology studies and wrote poetry . at that time , his first official foreign publications appeared in the paris magazine grani n66 . delaunay was an organizer of a concert by the bard alexander galich , who was semi - legal at that time .
in the beginning of 1968 , after the court hearing for galanskov and ginzburg , delaunay wrote an open letter to literaturnaya gazeta in which he praised their bravery . the letter was published in the new york city newspaper novoe russkoe slovo ( the new russian word ) .
in june 1968 , delaunay returned to moscow . on august 25 , 1968 , he and seven other dissidents organized the now - famous demonstration in support of the prague spring in red square near the moscow kremlin . delaunay and pavel litvinov held the famous banner with the words
за вашу и нашу свободу
(
for your freedom and ours
) .
seven people were arrested , and in court , delaunay stated that the five minutes of freedom on the square were worth the awaiting years in prison . the sentence by the court was prepared in advance , just as for other defendants .
in june 1971 , delaunay finished serving his sentence and returned to moscow . in 1973 , his wife irina belogorodskaya was arrested for her involvement with an underground journal , chronicle of current events . in 1975 , she was freed , and they both emigrated to france . in 1979 , delaunay published his story portraits in a barbed frame in the magazine echo .
on 13 june 1983 , delaunay died of a heart attack in paris at the age of 35 . in 1984 , his book of poetry verses : 1963 - 1983 was published . in that same year , he was posthumously awarded the vladimir dal prize . his poetry has been published in russia since 1989 .

koryo - saram ( russian : корё сарам ; koryo - mar : 고려사람 ) , the name ethnic koreans in the post - soviet states use to refer to themselves . approximately 500 , 000 ethnic koreans reside in the former ussr , primarily in the newly independent states of central asia . large korean communities in southern russia ( around volgograd ) , the caucasus , and southern ukraine also exist . those communities traces their roots to koreans who lived in the russian far east during the late nineteenth century .
a separate ethnic korean community lives on the island of sakhalin , typically known as sakhalin koreans . some may identify as koryo - saram , but many do not . unlike the communities on the russian mainland , which consist mostly of immigrants from the late 1800s and early 1900s , the ancestors of the sakhalin koreans came as immigrants from kyongsang and jeolla provinces in the late 1930s and early 1940s , forced into service by the japanese government to work in coal mines in sakhalin ( then known as karafuto prefecture to fill labor shortages caused by world war ii . [ 3 ]
koryo - saram in russia constitute one of the largest ethnic korean communities in the korean diaspora . the majority immigrated from korea before the division of korea into north and south , and before the japanese annexation of korea . koryo - saram maintained a commitment to see a korea independent of japanese rule between 1910 to 1945 , forming guerrilla army forces engaging the japanese army . after the division of korea into communist north and democratic south in 1948 , and after the korean war , most koryo - saram have decided to remain in russia as their new home . maintaining korean culture and language has proven a challenge for the koryo - saram .
the name
koryo - saram
appears to originate from the word
korea
rather than from the goryeo dynasty . prior to the collapse of the soviet union , koreans in russia went by the name soviet korean . russians often lump koryo - saram under the general label koreitsy ( russian : корейцы ) ; that usage makes no distinctions between ethnic koreans of the local nationality and the korean nationals ( citizens of south and north koreas ) .
in standard korean , the term
koryo - saram
typically refers to historical figures from the goryeo dynasty ; [ 4 ] to avoid ambiguity , korean speakers use a word goryeoin ( korean : 고려인 ; hanja : 高麗人 , meaning the same as
koryo - saram
) to refer to ethnic koreans in the post - soviet states . [ 3 ] the sino - korean morpheme
- in
( 인 ) is not productive in koryo - mar , the dialect spoken by koryo - saram . as a result , only a few ( mainly those who have studied standard korean ) refer to themselves as goryeoin . instead , koryo - saram has become the preferred term . [ 5 ]
the joseon dynasty of korea declined during the nineteenth century . a small population of wealthy elite owned the farmlands in the country , poor peasants finding difficulty to survive . koreans leaving the country during that time moved toward russia , as the qing dynasty sealed border with korea . many peasants , considering siberia a land with a better standard of living , migrated there . as early as 1863 , migration had already begun , 13 households recorded near novukorut bay . those numbers rose dramatically . by 1869 , korean composed 20 percent of the population of the maritime province . [ 6 ] prior to the completion of the trans - siberian railway , koreans outnumbered russians in the russian far east , and the local governors encouraged them to naturalize . [ 7 ] the 1897 russian empire census found 26 , 005 korean speakers ( 16 , 225 men and 9 , 780 women ) in the whole of russia , while a 1902 survey showed 312 , 541 koreans living in the russian far east alone . [ 7 ] [ 8 ] korean neighborhoods could be found in various cities and korean farms were all over the countryside . [ 3 ]
in the early 1900s , both russia and korea came into conflict with japan . following the end of the russo - japanese war in 1905 , russia enacted an anti - korean law at the behest of japan , under which russia confiscated the land of korean farmers and laid off korean laborers . [ 9 ] at the same time , russia continued to serve as sanctuary for the korean independence movement . korean nationalists and communists escaped to siberia , the russian far east , and manchuria . with the october revolution and the rise of communism in east asia , siberia became home to soviet koreans who organized armies like the righteous army to oppose japanese forces . [ 3 ] in 1919 , korean leaders who gathered in vladivostok ' s sinhanchon ( literally ,
new korean village
) neighborhood supported the march first movement for korean independence . that neighborhood became a center for [ nationalism | nationalist ] ] activities , including arms supply ; the japanese attacked it on april 4 , 1920 , leaving hundreds dead . [ 10 ]
between 1937 and 1939 , stalin deported over 172 , 000 koreans to kazakhstan and uzbekistan , on the official premise that the koreans might act as spies for japan . russia purged and executed many community leaders , a decade and a half passing before russia permitted koryo - saram to travel outside of central asia . up until the era of glasnost , russia prohibited koryo - saram from speaking openly of the deportations . [ 3 ] the deportees cooperated to build irrigation works and start rice farms ; within three years , they had recovered their original standard of living . [ 11 ] the events of that period led to the formation of a cohesive identity among the korean deportees . [ 11 ] as russians had prohibited the korean language for decades , subsequent generations lost the use of the korean language . the deportations had a profound effect on koryo - saram ' s attitudes towards korean culture . koryo - saram became highly assimilationist , achieved high education levels and one of the best command of russian among the minority nationalities .
scholars estimated that as of 2002 , roughly 470 , 000 koryo - saram lived in the commonwealth of independent states , including 198 , 000 in uzbekistan , 125 , 000 in russia , 105 , 000 in kazakhstan , 19 , 000 in kyrgyzstan , 9000 in ukraine , 6000 in tajikistan , 3000 in turkmenistan , and 5000 in other constituent republics . [ 1 ]
the 2002 census gave a population of 148 , 556 koreans in russia , including 75 , 835 male and 72 , 721 female . [ 12 ] about one - fourth reside in siberia and the russian far east ; that korean population traces their roots back to a number of places . aside from approximately 33 , 000 cis nationals ( most of whom trace their roots to migrants of the 1937 deportation ) , between 4 , 000 and 12 , 000 north korean migrant labourers live in the region . smaller numbers of south koreans and ethnic koreans from china have also immigrated to the region to settle , invest , and / or engage in cross - border trade .

do you remember peggy porschen cakes in belgravia ? well , nina’s paris , which had come across par hasard last night , is a tea salon à côté de la place vendôme , on 29 rue danielle casanova that has very much the same romance , with a crystal chandelier , gold leaf & gilding , as well as perfectly pretty shades of pastel pink . the shop sources their fruits and flowers from the gardens at versailles , and has teas on the menu with charming names such as hepburn , an orange , chocolate and cream concoction , and magicienne , made of pineapple & coconut ; most definitely on the list for the next visit . . .
everything in this shop has nina on it and it all looks cute and beautiful . the prices are expensive and i personally didn ' t like the rose flavour chocolate . however some of my friends loved it . the sales person was very nice and friendly .
showed up 5 mins early , but was greeted by a very friendly saleswoman who let us in . we explained that we had a daughter named nina , and was looking for unique souvenirs for her . she showed us some things and even offered us some
princess . . .
after a very long walking day in paris , we stopped here for a brake . they dont have much options , i guess , as the nice lady working their recommended to us the cake and tea ( the merry antoinette ) - after she gave us a very warm . . .
i have loved their teas for a few years now and my monogram is the ma on their tea tins . cant wait to go to the tea shop last time i was there it was not open yet . love the refined look of the shop . everything they do is wonderful . ahhh i miss paris…
i was in paris only for a few days and i feel so lucky to have found this quaint little salon de thé . being a tea - lover i was looking for a nice place to enjoy my cup of tea without the crowds and noise of tourists that usually comes with paris in peak season ( i was there in the springtime at the very end of april ) . i must say i couldn ' t have chosen a better place . the home - made biscuits are heavenly and i would strongly recommend the marie - antoinette milk tea ( which has some delicious rose flavour to it ) . would definitely go back for more !
the perfect place to have tea in paris ! this is the most charming tea boutique , such a treasure . the people who work there are so lovely and sweet , you just feel so welcome there . they even gave us samples of their tea and the flavours are simply divine ! will go back there for sure !
now , the best part ? the shop has seating ( albeit , just a couple of tables ) , for tea and cake ! it’s such a nice way to spend a little bit of time taking a break from shopping on rue du faubourg saint - honoré .

oh my goodness . this place was heaven for me . being obsessed with marie antoinette and versailles my whole life , i almost cried coming here . not only is this place like having tea in the palace of versailles , but the service is spectacular . i wish i . . .
the service was exceptionally good . we purchased some tea . when we mentioned we were recently engaged the shop assistant gave us some lovely samples to enjoy at home . the lady was very friendly . i would recommend stopping by here . i visited other tea stores in . . .
friends who are tea lovers suggested that we meet here ; we had heard about it , but none of us had visited . marie antoinette will have felt comfortable with the décor . the tea was delicious - - i brought some home . we were , however , surprised and disappointed . . .
the interior is just so old school french and beautiful that it makes the tea experience so good . the waitress was very very nervous but so sweet and friendly and helpful . me and my girlfriend we really enjoyed this place
