Description

Kazakhstan is a multinational country. In the single family of the people of Kazakhstan, more than a hundred ethnic groups live in peace and harmony, including the Koreans. During the years of mass political repression they were subjected to forced resettlement from the Far Eastern region. In that difficult time the deported Koreans, relying on the fraternal help of the Kazakh people, steadfastly endured the difficult life ordeals that fell to their lot. Hospitality and compassion on one side, and gratitude and appreciation on the other, grew into a strong friendship. Eighty years have passed since then, and in Kazakhstan several generations of Koreans have already been born and raised. Through their selfless labor they have earned respect, and have made and continue to make their worthy contribution to the economic, socio-political and cultural development of Kazakhstan. Much has been written by Koreans of Kazakhstan and about Koreans of Kazakhstan in various genres. But the "Encyclopedia of the Koreans of Kazakhstan" is being published for the first time. Its preparation and publication were made possible by the independence of our country, which opened up opportunities for the national revival of all the ethnic groups of Kazakhstan. This publication, covering all aspects of the life of the Koreans of Kazakhstan and all the stages and periods of their history, in organic connection with the history of Kazakhstan and the life of the whole people of Kazakhstan, is an indicator of the education and spirituality of our society, its cohesion and its drive toward the future.
