Ha-Neol-Sack Go-Hyang plot
Korean artist Shin Sun-nam, who lives in Uzbekistan, spent 33 years behind closed doors, out of sight of the KGB, on his magnum opus: Requiem, a huge canvas on which he has absorbed all the anger about the fate of the Koreans under Stalin. The people in the painting are surrounded by graves and are faceless, because they were treated as slaves and thus had no identity. For more than 150 years, Russia has had many Korean immigrants; especially after 1910 many Koreans fled their country because of the Japanese rule.
