It reminds me of my ancestors\u2019 sufferings. My<br>great-grandparents emigrated from Korea to the Russian Empire in the second half<br>of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century many Koreans living in<br>Russia participated in the struggle for the independence of Korea from the<br>Japanese occupation. In 1937 my grandparents, parents and other relatives were<br>deported from the Far East to Kazakhstan. Many lost their loved ones. You can<br>learn the story of my family from the video<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands of Koreans are separated by the 38th Parallel today. A brother cannot<br>meet with his sister. A father does not see how his children grow up. It is the pain<br>and suffering of the whole people and all Koreans living in diaspora.<br>The time will come when Korea will be united. It is not going to be easy. I think<br>that the citizens of North Korea will be shocked by what they will see outside their<br>country and when they compare it with their reality, as we were in 1991 As<br>Christians in the post-Soviet area we can better understand and support them. In<br>the meantime, we pray for peace on the Korean Peninsula and do our best to see<br>Korea united.<br>\u201cBlessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are<br>those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the gentle, for they shall<br>inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for<br>they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.<br>Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers,<br>for they shall be called sons of God.\u201d Matthew 5:3-9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A delegation of the National Council of Churches of the Republic of Korea visitedMoscow on June 25, 2019 Our brothers and sisters from Korea representedvarious Christian churches.
