The Institute of Russian Studies at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies was established as the Institute of the Soviet Union and East European Issues on January 13, 1972 in Seoul. In those days, the international community was dominated by cold war ideology, which made any communication or exchange between the Republic of Korea and the Communist bloc virtually impossible. The IRS was the first research center that began collecting and examining periodicals from the Soviet Union, North Korea, and other socialist states. Being the only Soviet Union and East European Issues research institute in Korea, the IRS was able to obtain an unrivaled position in this field. In a country where little research was being conducted on socialism, the IRS exerted a strong influence on the direction of these studies, leading the discourse on communism. From the early 1990s the IRS began to narrow its research subjects to Russia and the CIS region. Concentrated studies on the economies, politics, societies and cultures of the CIS region and Russia became the focus of the Institute. In 1993, the Institute officially changed its name to the Institute of Russian Studies, and in July of 1999, due to space constraints, the IRS relocated to Hankuk University’s Global Campus in Yongin.
The IRS regularly invites distinguished scholars from Russia and other parts of the world to give special talks.
Invited speakers come from diverse academic fields, including politics, economics, and literature.

On Friday, January 12, 2024, the HK+ Project Group of the Russian Institute (Director Sang-yong Pyo) held the annual seminar ‘The Unfinished War: Outlook for Russia in 2024’ as part of the publication of the annual Russia Report. The Russia Report seminar is a regular academic event held every January by the Russian Institute, focusing on the Russia-Ukraine war that has been ongoing since it broke out in 2022.
This academic seminar, which began with an opening speech by Pyo Sang-yong, Director of the Russian Institute, and a congratulatory speech by Kim Hyun-taek, Chairman of the Eurasian Policy Institute, consisted of two sessions. The first meeting, moderated by Je Seong-hoon, professor of Korean language at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, covered interesting and wide-ranging topics in the fields of domestic politics (Yeon Dam-rin, research professor at Hanshin University), economy (Park Ji-won, research fellow at the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency), and external relations (Lee Ju-yeon, academic research professor at Hanyang University). A wide discussion took place. The second meeting was moderated by Professor Kim Soo-hwan of the Department of Korean Language, and looked at Russia over the past year in terms of military security (Kim Gyu-cheol, lecturer at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies), Korea-Russia relations (Professor Byun Hyun-seop, Keimyung University), and social culture (HK Professor Lee Ji-yeon) and looked at notable events. It was a time to share.
After each presentation, about 50 attendees, including a designated discussant, shared their opinions to look at the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on Russian society, international relations, and our Russian academia, and to forecast Russia in 2024. The manuscripts presented at this seminar will be summarized and distributed online through the Russia-Eurasia Focus column published by the Russian Institute, and will be published as a book in March.
