English: This photo depicts three deported Koreans in Uzbekistan, Sept.-Oct. 1937. The three had just been deported from the Russian Far East. The photo was used to show that the thousands of deported Koreans were alive and well. This is because Japan at the time controlled the Korean peninsula and had made diplomatic and media (by newspaper) inquiries about what had happened or was happening to the (Soviet) Koreans in the Russian Far East in September 1937. This photo was a response to that. Photo was digitized by this author (me, the person uploading) on Aug. 12, 2008 while doing research in Uzbekistan at the Kim Pen Khva Museum. The museum director, Emilia Ten showed this researcher around and allowed me to peruse and scan the photos, photos previously belonged to Kim Pen Khva collective and the Soviet state.
