The second volume is dedicated to the 20th century. In it, V. M. Tikhonov completes the description of the era of the New Time. Considering the period from the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. before the liberation of Korea in 1945, it concentrates on social and ideological phenomena and their relationship to the dynamics of class and social interests. Era 1945-1992 in the south of the Korean Peninsula is presented through the vision of the patriarch of Marxist historiography of South Korea, Kang Man-gil. Chapters from his widely acclaimed book “A New Look at the Contemporary History of Korea” are published in Russian for the first time. Written from a critical position, this book does not divide historical figures into “heroes” and “villains”, but tries to identify the social conditioning and internal contradictions in the activities of each of them.
