Russians in Korea (Korean: 재한 러시아인; Hanja: 在韓露西亞人; Russian: Русские в Корее, romanized: Russkiye v Koreye) do not form a very large population, but they have a history going back to the Korean Empire. The community of Russian subjects/citizens in Korea has historically included not just ethnic Russians, but members of minority groups of Russia as well, such as Tatars, Poles, and, more recently, return migrants from among the Koryo-saram (ethnic Koreans whose ancestors migrated to the Russian Far East in the late 19th century) and Sakhalin Koreans.^[2]
