# Talk:Deportation of Koreans in the Soviet Union

Sakhalin Koreans were brought to the southern half of Sakhalin Island in the late 1930's by Japan; they weren't in Soviet jurisdiction at the time, so it's unlikely that the Soviet Union deported them. It is possible that there were a few Koreans living in north (Soviet-controlled) Sakhalin but these people probably weren't related to the south Sakhalin Korean laborers brought in by the Japanese, unless they escaped to north Sakhalin shortly after being brought to south Sakhalin, and were then quickly moved to Central Asia by the USSR.

It was error or joke. The cited source speaks about Kamchatka. Corrected. `'Míkka>t

I think USA has apologised to Japanese Americans for rounding them up during WWII. Дигвурен ДигвуровичАллё? 09:20, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, FDRoosevelt did many questionable things, so what? If anybody wants to call him well-deserved names and have sources, I am all for this, but it is totally irrelevant here. The thing is that the handling of Koreans in the Soviet Union is considered as an instance of ethnic cleansing in scholarly sources. Whether the wartime resettlement of Japanese Americans in the United States was also an instance of ethnic cleansing is totally irrelevant here. WP:V, WP:NOR, you know.

Right.  I only mentioned it because somebody raised it in an edit comment.  Still, it would be nice if Russia would apologise to the deported Koreans and their descendants, and perhaps compensate for their loss of homes and loss of original society in some reasonable manner.

Russia has to apologize to 95% of the population of the former Soviet Union, see Population transfer in the Soviet Union. If you start talking about compensations to all who was displaced or otherwise wronged, Kremlin must probably sell the whole Russia first, to raise the necessary money :-) Jokes aside, this is one of the major reasons why Kremlin is so tough as to apologies. - Altenmann >t 17:29, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- Soviet Union was not Russia and at least before Stalins death just check out what ethnicities the commanders in chiefs were before Stalins death, marxism is an international ideology. Altemann you sound very racist and ignorant since if you look at soviet history most death people were russians. Also just ask the people who were deported, they still miss the soviet union and admire russian culture.--Shokioto22 (talk) 15:47, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Where did this information come from? I can't find anything about it besides this wikipedia page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.148.221.98 (talk) 13:39, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
