Koreans, this island will become yours, we feel you, In your case this islands means much more for you, so it would be fair to give it to you. The second point of this deal is beneficial for Russia, because sharing a border with S.Korea would be a fantastic idea for Russia, it's fascinating, that we could share border with Norway, Finland and South Korea at the same time. When mafia government will collapse, i don't think NK will collapse too, considering that they are singlehandedly supported by the pooh, so unfortunately, we will not have the longer border with you, but still, for normal democratic Russia there would be really no good reason to keep it to ourselves. So i hope in one day we will be able to cross our border with one step! ❤💙

Korean history books are not credible. South Korea used to be a subsidiary of China. In modern times, it was a subsidiary of Japan. It is now a subsidiary of the United States. South Korea is a deformed country. South Koreans are also deformed

[@RedXlV]

Which is interesting, given that Noktundo being rightfully part of Korea is pretty much indisputable, and it's much more historically important than Dokdo. Though the latter is a lot more valuable in the modern era, and South Korea is already in actual possession of it rather than needing to ask another nation to give it back.

[@tariver1693]

In 2005 there was a demarcation of Russian-Chinese border, when control over a couple of islands on the Amur river with total area of 337 square kilometers was passed from Russia to China. The reason that was stated - to settle all border disagreements and to improve relations with China. So I wouldn't say that passing control over such a small "island" is out of the question, but not in the current situation certainly. Edit: since I keep getting replies about it - the phrase "not in current political situation" also includes the existence of two Koreas.

[@kotletachalovek7832]

the problem lies within the 2020 "changes" to Russian constitution, which make it unlawful to give away any territory. unless these changes are revoked (and there's a good case for that in case any reformist/anti-Putin faction takes power, because 2020 "vote" (it should've been a referendum btw) is pretty much a sham, not even counting voter fraud) the current Russian government can just raise their hands and say "no can do, look at our constitution"

[@fusionreactor7179]

Giving it to SK would be problematic and create a diplomatic crisis with NK

[@alecseusalec3418]

Well,those islands were litteral pain in the ass due to changes in the course of the river. There have even been border conflicts in 50-s and later. And half of them rigth now sunk. Happened before,they will re-emmerge later.

[@MuantanamoMobile]

Also as long as South Korea remains a staunch US ally, that will never happen since it will mean US troops potentially being placed there. Just like how Russia has closed down any further negotiations with Japan over the Kuril Islands, due to Japan's foreign policy being simply an extension of US foreign policy.

Very interesting topic, I love how your channel always presents this kind of things in an interesting manner. As for the issue itself: never going to happen as the can of worms will be greater than that of Russia or South Korea. By the same logic Germany can ask both Poland and Russia to return all the land to Kaliningrad with the city itself to them as it was historically great German land and city. Furthermore, Russia (even under sanctions) is still a powerful military and political force. Add to that the North Korean agreement that the land is now Russian and you get quite the impossible situation. But the bottom line: as long as everyone has access to the land in question there is no issue as everyone can visit it at any time.

That's why China is doing that historical revisionist project to erase ancient Korean history in Manchuria including Koguryeo. Because they can only think in the way they themselves think: that we Koreans will somehow try to claim that land, but Koreans are not cr4zy nor do we have interest or power to actually take over Chinese Northeast. CCP has more political reasons to do that historical revisionism mainly: in case North Korea collapses and possibly get absorbed by South Korea.

The territory is extremely insignificant if South Korea abandons the alliance with the United States And we will start negotiations with China and Russia, and make a U-turn in its favor.

8:00 "For Korea its value almost entire derives from it's symbolic character." Oh, no, here we go again. I guess that Russia thought the same about Ukraine. Also there are plenty symbolic valued territories which symbolism is shared between different parties. I don't think that all of those parties should go to into conflict because of some "symbolic" values, it's a symbol after all, it's only valued when people agree on it, so why not creating your own symbol. May be K-pop? Anyway, the North Korea as a symbolic territory should be the top priority for the South Korea.

[@Seriona1]

You had me in the first half and lost me with the last sentence. The problem with both Korea's is that because it's a civil war, both nations have legal claims to the other side and every nation who fought for their Korea knows this. Paektu Mountain is a classic example of this, China had no choice but to have talks with BOTH Korea's on where the border runs on the mountain and fortunate for China, they got both Korean's to agree on the same set of lines which is rare. I agree to a degree that South Korea has to worry about North Korea first however it in order to have legal claim, they cannot do exactly what Pakistan and India has when Jammu and Kashmir was invaded by Pakistan to which Jammu and Kashmir went to India for military help and it to this day has been leading to who actually owns what because of the situation it was in. USSR technically created this problem by just assuming North Korea's view was good enough, I give credit to China for being a bit wiser. Because if North Korea ever gets annexed by the South, anyone with a brain will know that North Korean treaties are now pointless and would be stupid to assume the South would enforce them.

[@gnupfo]

Germany had a similar situation where the Eastern Bloc country ceded territories to the USSR (technically Poland, but since it also ceded to the USSR it was a Soviet net gain), but nothing ever came of it as the West German government realized that it was de facto lost and abandoned its claims over it as part of its reconciliation policies. I don't think the situation is any different here.

[@Jarosław-f7v]

As a Russian living in the region, it seems to me that you are exaggerating on this point. Despite the sanctions, the Russians and South Koreans get along just fine. First of all, Japan is not disputing all of the Kurils, but only the southern part. And when I was on Iturup, I didn't notice any desire among the residents to become part of Japan. So I think that all the disputes in our region are greatly exaggerated. It seems to me that such a notion as historical territory cannot be the basis for redrawing maps, as it would bring blood and suffering to people living now, not to those who lived once. Besides, Japan has no historical justification for these territories, since Japan was an empire like Russia, and Russia simply managed to be the first to join the Kurils.

[@dardade3277]

If this is really a contentious issue for South Korea, I have to wonder why the very first course of action isn't negotiating "Russia, Can we buy this exact plot of land from you for X money?" If it's not particularly valuable to Russia, then I'm sure there IS a price that would be acceptable. That price might be exceedingly expensive, but if SK wanted the land because its important to them (and not just because they "might" get it for free, which objectively speaking IS probably the actual reason, not to be a Korea-hater) then that transaction should theoretically still be favorable to both sides.

[@timoi-]

yes, everything has a price, and Russia has sold territories more than once But then it will be necessary to simultaneously buy out the territory from both North Korea and China, i.e. cajole them.

I would like to point out that the name of your map is incorrect. 250 years ago it was called Sea of ​​Korea, not Sea of ​​Japan. Internationally. After Japan forcibly annexed Korea in 1910, it was changed to Sea of ​​Japan, and it continues to this day. It is now referred to as the East Sea, but the reason for such a neutral name is because it is not a Japanese sea in the first place. Historically, it has always been Korea's sea. Not only Nokdundo Island, but most of Vladivostok was an area where Koreans lived from the middle to the end of the Joseon Dynasty under the name of Maritime Province. After it was forcibly annexed by Japan, it was used as a place for many anti-Japanese independence fighters to avoid Japanese influence, strengthen their power, and foster resistance. It was a place that helped. Later, the Soviet government forcibly relocated the Koreans there and sent them to the wastelands of Central Asia to farm the land. So now, Koreans who have lost their nationality, called 'Goryeoins', are living in various parts of Central Asia and Russia, speaking Russian.

[@haughton4832]

Something that was not mentioned but I think is even more important if the cession happened would be the effect on North Korea. For defectors trying to escape, they either have to cross the DMZ (which is full of mines, wild animals, and North Korean defenses), go though China and cross though the Gobi Desert into Mongolia, or travel south through China all the way to southeast Asia without speaking Chinese. However, if they are caught by China or Russia they are deported and imprisoned. If South Korea controlled Noktundo, it would provide an easy place for defectors to escape to, and therefore would be a MASSIVE headache for Pyongyang to contain. Though very unlikely, a relatively safe and easy freedom from such an oppressive regime could suddenly send millions of defectors (as well as the troops inevitably sent to stop them) streaming together over the border, and lead to the potential collapse of North Korea.

If south Korea got that land north Korea people will still escape in china to Thailand beacuse they don't know that island is apart of korea

Thank you for the video. As a Korean, I was very sympathetic to the need for unification, which is the reason why I wasn't so concerned about the territorial dispute with Russia. And even if actual unification is achieved, it is difficult to claim territory over Nokdundo, and it is unlikely to do so. Rather, it is expected that the territorial dispute over Manchuria and Gando with China will be greater. In particular, diplomatic capabilities against North Korea will be consumed to prevent China from entering the East Sea
