2:10 am
about that thank you oh well cycling is quite an interesting place of the russian far east in terms of it it's an ethnic composition we have historically had different minority groups here all struggling in particular probably the most visible one is cycling career they compose about six percent of the entire population besides we also have the presence of muslim population here most of them. need around migrants from central asia and they probably compose five. percent or something like that and another interesting minority group that is native sapolio or we call them the indigenous people of sakhalin leafs and other nations so. it should be noted is that historically the end of the world the second world war of the region here on the population of here was formed by the

migrants we from all over the country i mean people from the brain from caucasus from other parts of fashion came here so it's kind of. well to call for many thanks this was alexander professor from the socket in state university now we mentioned population north koreans living in the soccer lane and we did that report with the inside on the tragic story. of these labor migrants in this part of russia let's have a look at this report right now. korean team you in there prefers to be called the idea color russian style this nineteen year old man worked and suffered in school mines for more than four decades under two different political regimes he still remembers the night his life changed completely. japanese soldiers came to our village in korea in one thousand nine hundred three and dragged me and some of my family out of our house they said they were taking us to sakhalin to work in
2:12 am
a mine and promised we would only be there for two years but as you can see i'm still here. kim lives in a small mining village in eastern sakhalin home to several hundred people who share his story koreans were sent to sakhalin by japan as forced labor migrants to work and call mines thus they supply talk with resources needed for the war. the japanese occupation ended more than six decades ago and most of the coal mines are no longer operational but the koreans are still here. just under a thousand koreans were sent to cycling by talk while their country was on the japanese rule. now there are almost fifty times as many living on the island and if the third generation has adapted to life here some of the older people who see themselves as forced migrants still dream of going back
2:13 am
given their holiday gatherings turn into political rallies i think we demand historic justice. this organization deals with we've actually ation and has helped more than fifteen hundred koreans return home over the past twenty years its president says this number would be higher if talkee or provided help. because. as we believe japan is guilty of causing the situation in the first place since nine hundred eighty five we've heard tokyo apologize twice but it hasn't gone anywhere from there there's been no action that's why we rely on our own resources and help from russia and south korea. moskos stance is to assist the repechage relations of the cycling koreans and local authorities say they try to do just that but the number of people wanting to leave is diminishing every year but it is with a but will fully cooperate with local korean organizations on the pattern but ethnic koreans are getting more and more into someone in life they held positions
