This paper aims at exploring a chronological description of Korean studies in Russia with a strong emphasis on the case of Far East National University in Vladivostok. Founded in 1899, this university was originally open as a college of oriental studies. Sporadically open though the Korean language course has been since then, it was not studied systematically until 1975, when T.U. Kaplan was appointed a very first Korean language instructor. This is followed by a series of developmental processes in which the Korean studies have strikingly been enlarged in this university for the past three decades.
