The research was conducted on the basis of analysis of 100 in-depth interviews with Russian and South Korean student youth (50 students in each group), specializing in Russian-Korean relations, intercultural communications and language of the country studied. Natural and geographic factors, historical and cultural associations, the image of the country’s citizens are found to be the main South Korean students’ perspectives on Russia. Economic system, the image of the country’s citizens, historical and cultural features of the country represent the main Russian students’ perspectives on South Korea. In general, mutual images of each country contain many stereotypes which are mediocre for common perception. Such stereotypical thinking and the lack of knowledge about modern socio-economic realities among future specialists in Russian-Korean relations may be a serious obstacle that places under risk effectiveness of further cooperation between the two sides.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В данной статье реконструируются и интерпретируются представления современной южнокорейской молодежи о России и российской - о Южной Корее. Исследование проведено на основе анализа 100 глубинных интервью с российскими и южнокорейскими студентами (по 50 в каждой группе), специализирующимися на изучении российско-корейских отношений, межкультурных коммуникациях, языке изучаемой страны. Для южнокорейских студентов главными ассоциациями с Россией стали природно-географические факторы, историко-культурные ассоциации и образ граждан страны. Для российских студентов главными характеристиками Республики Корея стали экономическая система, образ граждан страны и историко-культурные особенности. В целом взаимные образы друг о друге содержат множество стереотипов, которые характерны для обыденного восприятия. Подобное стереотипное мышление и недостаток знаний о современных социально-экономических реалиях у будущих специалистов по российско-корейским отношениям является серьезным барьером, понижающим эффективность дальнейшего сотрудничества.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>political views</kwd><kwd>South Korean students</kwd><kwd>Russian students</kwd><kwd>country image</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>политические представления</kwd><kwd>южнокорейские студенты</kwd><kwd>российские студенты</kwd><kwd>образ страны</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Исследование осуществлено в рамках Программы фундаментальных исследований НИУ ВШЭ.</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">This work/article is an output of a research project implemented as part of the Basic Research Program at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE University).</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Baskakova, Y.M., Choi, Wu Ik (2018).
