Abstract

This article provides a brief overview of cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Korea from 1990 to 2022 in the high-tech field. Research findings include some evaluations, conclusions and further steps proposed for the development of two-sided relations in the advanced technologies. Russian Federation and the Republic of Korea are neighbors, both countries are meeting the challenge of implementing a technological breakthrough, and have good prospects for bilateral cooperation. Over the past 30 years, the vectors of high-tech industries have been opposite: South Korea is actively attracting technology exporting high value-added products. Russia — exports technology and buys finished products. Starting from the first contacts, the South Korean side showed great interest in partnership. The Korean high-tech industry was just beginning its active development, while the Soviet high-tech industry was among the world leaders, lagging behind in several applied fields, such as mass production. In 1990-2000-s, Russian scientists massively left the country, the Republic of Korea, during this period attracted scientists. Technological cooperation between countries has turned into a donation from Russia, in exchange for finished products and localization of low-level production. Nowadays, cooperation in the form in which it has existed for the past thirty years has stopped due to the suspension of most joint projects for political reasons. It is necessary to quickly rebuild its model for the current crisis, simultaneously starting to create the preconditions and plan its optimal model for the post-crisis period taking into account the mistakes made in the past. The work must be built on the basis of the challenges and goals the Russian economy faces, with a detailed research of the vision and development plans of the South Korean side. The topic of the article is relevant in connection with the current international situation and the formation of a new world order, economic, scientific and technical challenges facing the Russian Federation.
