In September 1937, Stalin's regime displaced 17,000 Korean Russians in Primorsky Krai to Central Asia. It took their freight train 50 days to travel 6,000 km to a barren wilderness, where they cultivated the land and planted the seeds from home.
Over the course of 80 years after that, Korean language, history, and people slowly faded from Korean Russians' memories.
