Incredible events unfold on the Korean peninsula. North and South Korea with might and main discuss the possibility of unification - political scientists did not expect this development. At the same time, the new great power plans to take part of Primorye from Russia. Supporters of the united Korea dream that the new state will have nuclear weapons and independence, like the DPRK, and rich, like Seoul. The opinion of experts on the ambitious plans of the unifiers of the two countries is cited by the publication "Vzglyad". "This development seems ideal for. nationalist-minded part of South Korean society, but the chances of realizing this scenario are close to zero, "said Georgi Toloraya, director of the Korean programs at the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He added that radical nationalists even plan that a single Korea will take from the neighbors territories that they consider to be theirs: China will lose the sacred mountain of Paektusan, and Russia - parts of Primorye. "This is a spicy and not very likely scenario, but it still needs to be kept in mind," Toloraya said.. Koreist Konstantin Asmolov confirmed that South Korean leftists and conservatives dream that the united state will be armed and independent, like the North, and rich as the South. However, the expert himself is sure that everything will be exactly the opposite: such Korea will have independence of Seoul and the economy of Pyongyang.

The rapprochement between the two Koreas began in 1991 - then the two countries' premiers signed an agreement on reconciliation, mutual non-aggression, cooperation and exchanges as early as 1991, recalled Evgenii Kim, a leading researcher at the Institute of the Far East. Pyongyang believes that 2 countries should move towards confederation. "The plan was this: in the international arena they act as one state, but within two regimes, two parallel governments," Kim specified.. Eugene Kim recalls: the Americans "will not allow such a step with all the big desire" of both countries. According to Constantin Asmolov, the project to create a unified Korea is not feasible: "The Nords will never agree to unification under the control of the United States". In turn, Seoul has neither actual nor legal sovereignty:

during the war, South Korea is obliged to transfer to the American generals the command of their army. What is the reason for the active discussion of the creation of a single state on the Korean Peninsula? "Surprisingly, the tasks of Pyongyang and Seoul suddenly coincided: to pull the time, not allowing Donald Trump to strike," - says professor of Seoul University Kunming Andrei Lankov. However, despite the low feasibility of the North-South merger project, the very fact of its appearance is unprecedented.
