Korea Times: Academics create digitized archive of Korean War. “A group of South Korean and U.S. academics is working to revisit the Korean War six decades later in a tech-savvy way: by digitizing photos, maps, official documents and video footage of interviews with war veterans.

The Russian stand was just the opposite: it amounted to a demand that UN recognize whatever government the Russians recognized. time.com/archive/6796176/unite

Jan 19, 1950 #KoreanWar The delegates of Russia, Poland, White Russia, and Czechoslavakia walked out of a meeting of the #UN. This is the fifth UN body which East European delegates have walked out in the last few days as a protest against the presence of a Chinese Nationalist delegate. #Taiwan

Jan 18, 1950 #KoreanWar Russia extended her boycott of the Security Council to three more UN committees in protest the presence of Chinese Nationalists delegates. The view is that complete Russian withdrawal from UN would come only if the Western Powers took advantage of Russia's temporary absence.

#SouthKorea took the decades since the #KoreanWar to democratize and become a global powerhouse
