The increasing of Western sanctions’ pressure and the intensification of Russia’s activation of the “Pivot to the East” will promote the development of cooperation with the Eastern countries, and the role of Eastern Russia is likely to increase, which will increase the role of Russia’s Far Eastern regions. In addition, Western sanctions will direct the country’s foreign policy towards import substitution. On the other hand, the relationship between trade and foreign direct investments (FDI), whether it is complementary or substitutive, is rather controversial and thus has long been debated by several scholars: each case study demonstrates a different result depending on the focus country, economic zones, study period, and so forth. In this sense, this study examines the impact of South Korean FDI in the Russian Far East on their bilateral exports and imports for the period Q2 2017 - Q3 2021. Ordinary least squares (OLS) and robust least squares regression analyses confirm that South Korean FDI stock in the Russian Far East promotes the Russian Far East’s imports from South Korea, while it shows no statistical significance in its exports to South Korea. In order to contribute to the economic growth of the Russian Far East and create win-win effects, the way South Korean companies invest in the Russian Far East should be reformed to localize their production process.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Республика Корея благодаря своей географической близости к российскому Дальнему Востоку является близким и важнейшим экономическим партнером региона наряду с другими странами Восточной Азии. Рост санкционного давления со стороны стран Запада и активизация политики «поворота на Восток» Российской Федерации создали предпосылки для развития сотрудничества с восточными странами, что повышает роль дальневосточных регионов России. Кроме того, санкции стран Запада вернули в повестку дня тему импортозамещения в российской экономике. В этом ключе актуализируется тема взаимосвязи (взаимодополняющей или замещающей) между прямыми иностранными инвестициями (ПИИ) и торговлей. Данный вопрос является дискуссионным и давно анализируется в академических кругах. Исследование посвящено выявлению влияния южнокорейских ПИИ на Дальнем Востоке России на их двусторонний экспорт и импорт за период со второго квартала 2017 г. по третий квартал 2021 г. Применение метода наименьших квадратов (МНК) и робастного регрессионного анализа позволило доказать, что южнокорейские ПИИ на российском Дальнем Востоке способствуют росту импорта Дальнего Востока из Южной Кореи, в то время как они не показывают статистической значимости для экспорта в Южную Корею. Для содействия экономическому росту дальневосточных регионов и создания взаимовыгодных эффектов необходимо реформировать методы инвестирования южнокорейских компаний на Дальнем Востоке с целью локализации их производственного процесса.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"/><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>foreign direct investment and trade</kwd><kwd>FDI</kwd><kwd>substitution relationship</kwd><kwd>complementary relationship</kwd><kwd>the Republic of Korea</kwd><kwd>ROK</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>прямые иностранные инвестиции и торговля</kwd><kwd>ПИИ</kwd><kwd>отношения замещения</kwd><kwd>взаимодополняющие межгосударственные отношения</kwd><kwd>Республика Корея</kwd><kwd>РК</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Bhasin, N., &amp; Paul, J.
