North Koreans in Russia Between Migrants and Refugees

Moonyoung Lee

Europe-Asia Studies, 2024, vol. 76, issue 5, 793-807

Abstract: Starting from the premise that North Korean defectors have a dual identity, that of both migrant and refugee, this article examines how and why this duality is intensified in the case of those who defect to Russia, where North Korean defectors do not have proper rights or protections under either category. The main focus of this article is on the situation of North Korean defectors on the ground and with regard to Russian refugee laws, drawing on personal testimony, statistics, and related governmental and NGO documents.
