The Establishment of the Russian Korean Frontier in 1858 to 1884 in Russian Historiography
This paper analyzes the Russian historiography of the establishment of the Russian Korean frontier in 1858-1884. The analysis shows that the study of the frontier, even considering conventionality of its definition as a scientific term, includes the study of a number of issues related to the colonization of Primorye and the establishment of Russian Korean relations. The analysis bases on both deductive and inductive methods. The conducted research shows that the cultural and anthropological features of the interaction of the two peoples in the border zone during the studied period remain poorly studied, especially in the reflection of foreign sources.
