Quite apart from emphasising the importance of Prof Pak's life and work your obituary reminded me of how parochial we can be in the English-speaking academic world. It is all too easy for scholars in Western Europe and America to completely forget about the whole world of Soviet/Russian scholarship on East Asia. We should not forget for two reasons: first because we may find great insights in that scholarship and second because Soviet academia was very influential on historiography in many parts of Asia.
