"Focusing on previously neglected cultural expressions of colonial-period Korean socialism such as Marxist philosophy, Marxist historiography, and travelogues by socialist writers, The Red Decades reveals Marxian socialism as a cultural phenomenon of colonial-age Korea. Providing an account of the social composition of the Communist milieu in 1920s and 1930s Korea and outlining the aims of the colonial-period Communist movement as formulated in programmic documents, this text offers a rich, nuanced description of the microcosm of Korean Communism--a setting of factional alignments, pilgrimages to Moscow, extended stays of the Korean revolutionaries as exiles in China and the Soviet Union, and a polylingual environment with Chinese, Japanese, English, and Russian being equally important as the idioms of socialist propagation and international networking. Placing the endeavors of colonial-age Communists within a global historical context allows for dissections of how Korean socialists' ideals interacted with the realities of the conservative turn taking place in the Soviet Union since the late 1920s, as well as considering the implication of Stalinism for Korean revolutionary culture. Yet this analysis also focuses on the individuals involved, especially on their persistent issue of factionalism in the Korean Communist movement and on the role of underground radicalism in shaping the subaltern subjectivities of the participants. The Red Decades discusses the world-historical place of "alternative modernity" that colonial-age socialists of Korea were pursuing. Based on a wealth of Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Chinese primary sources, including the Korea-related parts of the archives of Comintern, an under-utilized resource in Anglophone scholarship. The research also accommodates the achievements of the last decades, from South Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Anglophone and Russophone academic worlds. The breadth of this study situates the philosophical, historiographical, and political practices of Marxism of colonial Korea in the global historical perspective and simultaneously explores the long-lasting influences of the Communist movement in post-1945 North and South Korea"--

The book deals with the influences Social Darwinism exerted upon Korea's modern ideologies in their formative period - especially nationalism - after its introduction to Korea in 1883 and before Korea's annexation by Japan in 1910. It shows that the belief in the ""survival of the fittest"" as the overarching cosmic and social principle constituted the main underpinning for the modernity discourses in Korea in the 1890s-1900s. Unlike the dominant ideology of traditional Korea, Neo-Confucianism, which was largely promoted by the scholar-official elite, Social Darwinism appealed to the modern in

The article is based on content and discourse analysis of the addresses of the President of the Russian Federation to the Federal Assembly dated 12/01/2016, 03/01/2018, 02/20/2019, 01/15/2020. The aim of research is to analyze the concept of identity in the framework of Presidential Addresses and changes in the concepts of identity in dynamics. The general tendencies of considering the term "identity" in the framework of determining the identity of the Russian Federation are derived. The special relationship between the identity of the Russian Federation and the integration of the Russian Federation into integration spaces is considered. The Vladimir Putin's statements regarding the integration of the Russian Federation into the Eurasian Economic Union are evaluated, since the Russian Federation identity, in the opinion of the President, is inextricably linked with the formation of the "Eurasian identity of the Russian Federation", which in turn determines the direct relationship between the identity of the Russian Federation and the integration of the Russian Federation into the Eurasian Economic Union. The article defines the subjective factor of the Russian President, which reflects the personal nature of the President's orders and proposals. The dynamics of changes in the formation of the Russian Federation identity is reflected according to the addresses of the President of the Russian Federation to the Federal Assembly, and also on the basis of the dynamics of changes in the identity of the Russian Federation, the general process orientation of developing the Russian Federation identity is reflected. The article characterizes the permanent nature of the formation of the identity of Russia. Now, the identity of Russia is perceived as a special construct that reflects the special position of the Russian Federation, both in historical development and in the international arena.
