:Well, FDRoosevelt did many questionable things, so what? If anybody wants to call him well-deserved names and have sources, I am all for this, but it is totally irrelevant here. The thing is that the handling of Koreans in the Soviet Union is considered as an instance of ethnic cleansing in scholarly sources. Whether the wartime resettlement of Japanese Americans in the United States was also an instance of ethnic cleansing is totally irrelevant here. ], ], you know. ] (]) 09:30, 18 June 2009 (UTC) |

::Right. I only mentioned it because somebody raised it in an edit comment. Still, it would be nice if Russia would apologise to the deported Koreans and their descendants, and perhaps compensate for their loss of homes and loss of original society in some reasonable manner. ]<sub>]</sub> 19:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC) |

:::Russia has to apologize to 95% of the population of the former Soviet Union, see ]. If you start talking about compensations to all who was displaced or otherwise wronged, Kremlin must probably sell the whole Russia first, to raise the necessary money :-) Jokes aside, this is one of the major reasons why Kremlin is so tough as to apologies. - Altenmann ] 17:29, 19 June 2009 (UTC) |
Sakhalin Koreans were brought to the southern half of Sakhalin Island in the late 1930's by Japan; they weren't in Soviet jurisdiction at the time, so it's unlikely that the Soviet Union deported them. It is possible that there were a few Koreans living in north (Soviet-controlled) Sakhalin but these people probably weren't related to the south Sakhalin Korean laborers brought in by the Japanese, unless they escaped to north Sakhalin shortly after being brought to south Sakhalin, and were then quickly moved to Central Asia by the USSR.
