Abstract
The article highlights the goals and objectives of the USSR policy on the Korean Peninsula on the eve of the war of 1950–1953. The analysis of the Soviet and Russian historiography has been carried out; the conclusions are drawn about the divergence of the researchers’ viewpoints on the Soviet Union’s intervention in the Korean conflict. It is noted that researchers 
 of the USSR were not able to access archival sources and mainly used official data from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which in many cases did not correspond to reality. The Russian authors, who did not completely turn down the ideas of Soviet historiography, were given the 
 opportunity to use the archival materials. The basic ideas of the works of the expert studying the Korean history (Yu.V. Vanin, A.S. Orlov, D.V. Solin, S.O. Kurbanova, etc.) have been analyzed.
