The rapprochement between Korea and the Soviet Union in the late 1980s unveiled the Soviet Union to Koreans for the first time in decades. The initial excitement generated in Korea by this tremendous opportunity was soon replaced by high expectations of economic cooperation with the Soviet Union.
However, the disintegration of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991, as well as the political instabilities and economic deterioration of the Russian economy that followed, constituted very serious obstacles to the further development of the economic cooperation between Korea and Russia. In addition, the fact that Russia was unable to repay Korean loans made the Korean public very skeptical as to whether economic cooperation with Russia was in Korea's best interests.

However, the long-term outlook of Korea-Russian economic cooperation is very bright due to its great potential. Furthermore, despite the uncertainties of Russian politico-economic instability, the short-term prospects for Korea-Russian economic cooperation also look promising, mainly due to the well-established basic frameworks for bilateral economic cooperation that have been created in the past several years.

The purpose of this paper is to first make a comprehensive analysis of the Russian development strategy of the Far East then deduce specific business opportunities and methods of cooperation on territorial development between Korea and Russia.
