일제시대 연해주 지역과 한인의 활동
Primorsky Krai Area in Japan’s Colonial Period and Koreans’ Activity Russia's Primorsky Krai area was the center of the independence movement against Japan from the late Joseon period through 1922. Particularly before World War I broke out, the area showed the most active national movement at home and abroad, and was also no less likely than elsewhere before and after the March First Independence Movement.
1920~2020년, 100년의 역사: 일제시대 연해주 지역과 한인의 활동
100-Year History from 1920 to 2020: Primorsky Area in Period of Japanese Occupation and Activity of Koreans This year marks the centennial of the April Massacre, the Gyeongsin (Gando) Massacre, and the triumphs of the Fengwudong and Qingshanli Battles. In 1920, the first of the 100 years, Koreans were in the midst of the anti-imperialist national liberation movement for independence and freedom, resisting colonial rule characterized by suppression and exploitation. Primorsky Krai was a region in which Korean compatriots had pinned their hopes as the base that would bring freedom and independence before the March First Independence Movement. The Shinhan Village in Vladivostok (Haesamwi), where any famed nationalists at home and abroad would have had to pass through at least once, was called the “Seoul of Koreans in the Russian Far East”.

Recalling the Centennial of the Death of Choi Jae-hyeong, Godfather of the Korean Independence Movement in Primorsky Krai This year marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Choi Jae-hyeong, who was elected the first finance minister of the Republic of Korea Provisional Government in Shanghai on April 11, 1919. What happened while Choi, born as a child of a slave during the reign of Cheoljong in the Joseon period, became the "minister" of the Republic of Korea? Few Koreans are unaware of the “patriot Ahn Jung-geun” who assassinated Ito Hirobumi, but there are few who recall Choi Jae-hyeong, an independence activist who supported him. Recently, some determined people have taken note of “Pechka” Choi Jae-hyeong and begun restoring his lifetime as a whole.

독도 정책 세미나 개최: 일본의 영토·주권전시관 재개관과 우리의 과제
Seminar Held on Dokdo Policy: Reopening of Japan's National Museum of Territory and Sovereignty, and Our Tasks The Japanese government reopened the National Museum of Territory and Sovereignty (NMTS) in downtown Tokyo on January 20 this year. Since establishing the planning and coordination office for territory and sovereignty measures (hereafter territory and sovereignty office) in the Cabinet Secretariat in 2013, the Japanese government has been pushing aggressively for territory-related policies. Particularly in 2017 and 2018, Japan created a framework for coercing education regarding Dokdo by revising legally binding government guidelines for teaching at elementary, middle, and high schools, and opened the NMTS in January of 2018. Two years later, it expanded by seven times and relocated before reopening in a location where audiences can find it more easily. The Japanese government has since reinforced its support for multifaceted education and publicity regarding territory as well as research and surveys.

『일본군‘위안부’』: 역사의 아픔을 함께 나누고 기억하다
"Japanese Military Comfort Women – Sharing and Remembering Pains of History" The "Wednesday rally for the resolution of the Japanese military comfort women issue" that began in January 1992 is still going on in March 2020. On August 14, 1991, Kim Hak-sun, then 67, made the first public testimony as a Japanese military comfort woman. The number of rallies reached 1,430 over the past 28 years since the first demonstration was held on January 8, 1992 demanding the Japanese government's apology and reparations. It is the world's longest running protest held under the same topic. Until when do we have to continue these demonstrations? The victims never missed the rally through the 1,000th demonstration, but more victims have died of old age with the passing of time. Grandma Gil Won-ok was the only victim to take part in the 1,400th rally. While only 19 out of the 240 victims who had reported the damages of their sexual slavery, more people became aware that the atrocities committed against "comfort women" severely infringed upon women's human rights. The Wednesday rallies served as an occasion to publicize the horrors suffered by women exposed to wartime sexual violence, awakening the international community to the issue and escalating it into a worldwide movement through international solidarity activities.

『일본의 국가 정체성과 동북아 국제관계』
"Japan’s National Identity and International Relations in Northeast Asia" Our reality now is rampant with phrases like "the worst-ever postwar Korea-Japan relationship" in all directions like cherry blossoms fluttering amid a spring breeze. Is it that their bilateral relationship is being driven into this situation because their respective identities are facing radical changes? Japan, having marked its peak with "Japan is Number One" in the 1980s, has been turning rightist while undergoing economic woes known as the "lost 30 years". Korea is showing its best confidence since the dawn of history thanks to economic development and the progress of democratization from the poorest nation on earth around 1965. Can we find the reason for the deeply rooted animosity between Korea and Japan from the crossing of identities—economic reversal of both nations, conservative swing, and democratization?

그 여성들은 어디로 갔을까: 김학순 이전의 피해자들
The Victims Before Kim Hak-sun – Where Did the Women Go? The history of the Japanese military comfort women began to be rewritten in the early 1990s. We are leading world peace and the restoration of human rights, aiming for new perspectives, new language, and a new future. At the heart of it are the survivors of sexual slavery. Simultaneously, there were activists, researchers, and citizens who were in the same boat with them, who looked for data, created a language, and added meaning. Recording the moment, we hope to have our history handed down to future generations.
