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.

The Russian Institute (Director: Pyo Sang-yong) held an international academic conference and seminar in Moscow together with Hanyang University's Asia-Pacific Research Center and the Eurasian Policy Institute.

(ICCA) held it one after another.
As the first event, a seminar was held at the Moscow University of International Relations (MGIMO) with the theme “The situation in Northeast Asia and Korea-Russia relations after the Ukraine War.” Through an international academic conference with MGIMO, experts from both countries provided diagnoses on the situation in Northeast Asia due to changes in the international order following the Ukraine incident and the political, economic, and cultural relations between Korea and Russia.
The second event was held at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) under the Russian Academy of Sciences under the theme “International order in Northeast Asia and peace on the Korean Peninsula after the Ukraine War.” We analyzed the relationship between Russia and North Korea, which has recently become closer, and discussed future Korea-Russia cooperation in response to these changes.
The third event was held at the Institute of China and Contemporary Asia (ICCA) under the Russian Academy of Sciences under the theme of ‘Changes in the international order in Northeast Asia and the situation on the Korean Peninsula.’ The situation in Northeast Asia was analyzed on topics such as the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy and triangular cooperation between North Korea, China and Russia, and solutions for normalizing the cooled relationship between Russia and Korea were discussed.
Director Sang-yong Pyo of the Russian Institute said, “We will continue to network with the Moscow University of International Relations (MGIMO), the Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of China and Contemporary Asia (ICCA) and hold symposiums between the two countries. “We plan to hold this event, and this exchange of experts will play an important role in maintaining Korea-Russia relations even in rapidly changing international situations such as the Ukraine crisis and the Gaza crisis,” he said.
