      I mean, to be fair for her, the current China-Russia-NK border was set right after the UK-Qing war in 1860. British imperialists must’ve envisioned the rise of Juche idelology in North Korea and decided to dope Chinese with opium.pic.twitter.com/BG6wjoafbd

      The Russian diplomat who signed the Convention of Beijing was Nikolay Pavlovich Ignatyev. He’s the behind the rise of the USSR, North Korea, and PUTIN.pic.twitter.com/B4nronFdce

      And the one who set the current northern border of the Korean Peninsula was Sejong the Great. As a king of Joseon, he ran a military campaign and expanded its border to north in 1433. He’s the one behind Putin’s anti-American campaign.pic.twitter.com/1WZvhJ2KdU

      An interesting part of the history of Joseon - the kingdom before Japan’s occupation of Korea - in regard to the China-Russia border is that in the mid-17th century, when the Shino-Russian conflict was escalating, Joseon sent a unit of 200 gunmen to aid Qing.pic.twitter.com/0zWn885UnU

      The reason behind this military dispatch was that Joseon, having been conquered twice by Qing, whom Joseon’s confucius diplomats derided for belonging to non-Han ethnicity(Manchurian), wanted to avenge Qing, and they decided to boast their newly-trained units to them.

      Historical records suggest that Koreans were so effective at combat, and thanks to their works, Qing could remove Russians from the land north of Amur River. Because of the successful Chinese offensive along with Koreans, Qing could sign a deal with the Russians and took victory.pic.twitter.com/MW0hUfekcW

      In short, Koreans had traditionally been in #TheResistance against the Russians.

      Well, that changed at the end of the 19th century. As Japan tightened its grip on Joseon - Japan defeated Qing and ousted them from the Korean Peninsula - Joseon natually sought a regional ally that could stop Japan, and that was, naturally, Russia.

      In 1895, Japan assassinated the queen of Joseon for she sought close relationship with Russia, and King Gojong, her husband, took refugee at the Russian Embassy in Seoul for a year.pic.twitter.com/hCz0HKEwVM

      Even though the Russian influence could stop the Japanese momentarilly, Japan in the end defeated Russia (in the Japanese-Russian war) and colonized Joseon for 35 years. During the colonization, many Koreans left to Manchuria, today’s China and Russia.

          The Russian Revoltion happened, and socialism/communism was spread throught the world. In cololized Korea, too, especially among activists&writers resisting the Japanese colonization.
