This paper analyzes the trajectories of movement of Koreans in the former Soviet Union and their new diasporic spaces in migration destinations. While their residence was restricted to certain areas in Central Asia and Sakhalin during the Soviet era, the relaxation of residence restrictions in the late 1980s allowed them to look for new opportunities far away from their places of residence. Emphasizing the diversity of Korean communities in the post-Soviet space, this paper examines their perception of homeland and focuses on two projects aimed at reviving the sense of ancestral homeland, one in the Russian Far East, and the other in the Republic of Korea.
