Generally, it is known that Koreans Russia migration was started in earnest since 1860`s. The number of Russia migration amounted to over 400 thousand to 500 thousand in the middle of 1920`s. Korean modern literature have been reflecting the historical background of Russian migrants and their lives actively in their works. Among them Korean modern novel is one of the best one showing the real feature of migrants lives. We call it Russia Migration novel Before liberation, it amounted to about 20 novels that was dealt the matter of Russia migration actively. These novels were divided into two different types briefly One is ``ideological migration novels`` that their main characters are leaders of an independence movement and the other is ``livelihood migration novels`` that reflected lives of migrants who has just gone Russia for a living. Russia was a base of operations leaders of Independence movement. After Russian revolution in 1917, socialism revolutionists thought Russia as their ``spiritual homeland``. That is why many nationalism and socialism revolutionists gathered here. Those are the main characters of ideological migration novels. in these novels, there people who had some exprience of having movement in Russia, people who is now working on in Russia and some people who were going to Russia to become a successful revolutionist in the future. Their struggling and their lives were reflected variously in Korean modern novel. Russia was also well known as their abundant and fertile lands to Koreans for a long time. So many poor people has moved into here for a living. Their real lives were expressed well in novels of Lee Hae-jo, Lee Kwang-soo, Baik Sin-ae, Choi Seo-hae. The most representative one is 『꺼래이』 of Baik Sin-ae. In this novel, it is well described lives of those who went Russia, but were arrested and banished. Especially, it is so real that the lives of relocation camp in Vladivostok. Although novels of Lee Hae-jo and Lee Kwang-soo were showing the insufficiency of realistic and historic awareness Russia migration novels were works that were written under the Japanese severe guard and oppression. That is why their contents and forms were not made free. But these novels were good sources of proving our unfortunate national history.
