Abstract
The purpose of the article is to study the list of Korean families that were excluded from historical scholarship for the first time as a necessary source of information as a result of comprehensive research. In 1990, under the heading" top secret", records were published that had survived for many years about the deportation of Koreans, but the family list was not the subject of special studies, it was mentioned only in some publications. Despite the limited and limited amount of information available, the list of tens of thousands of people can provide comprehensive material to define the teachings of the 1937 exclusion and consider new issues related to the demographics of the Korean population, including the average number of Korean families, their composition, the number of Korean children, etc. The list of deported Koreans includes surnames ( patronymics), first names, patronymics (if any), anthropology, features of transcription of Korean tribes, forms of common names pronounced in Russian, the topic of citizenship of deported Koreans is active and basic, since it is "justified"in the discourse of research. Opinions on this issue are fundamentally opposite. Many authors believe that the deported Koreans were not citizens of the USSR, on the contrary, most Koreans were adults and had Soviet passports. In the list of cars there are many passports and invoices, on the basis of which it is clear that most Koreans are citizens of the USSR. This article uses only part of the lists of the archives of the Russian Federation, so it is necessary to continue the search for sources in this area at the level of social and humanitarian Sciences.
