 tory at Simon Fraser University. Her research interests include the History
  of Sino-Soviet relations\, Korean Peninsula\, and Central Asia. Her articl
 es appeared in Asian Perspective\, Cold War History\, Journal of Cold War S
 tudies\, Nationalities Papers\, Central Asian Survey\, etc.</li><li>Abstrac
 t: The USSR did not have a state border with North Korea until 1985\, altho
 ugh the actual border between them\, passing through the Tumen River\, was 
 de facto recognized and observed. The Sino-Russian treaties of the 19th cen
 tury only indirectly mentioned the Russian-Korean border. With the establis
 hment of the DPRK in 1948\, these treaties could no longer remain the basis
  for the delimitation of the border with Korea\, new agreement had to be si
 gned. The 1957 Soviet-North Korean Convention on the Procedure for Solving 
 Frontier Issues covered the section of the Tumen River from the tripoint of
  the USSR\, PRC\, and DPRK borders to the confluence of the river into the 
 Sea of Japan. Nevertheless\, it did not determine the exact location of the
  borderline\, thus rendering the work of borderguards a complicated issue. 
 Only in November 1984\, did the two deputy foreign ministers initial a bila
 teral border agreement. Notably\, the resolution of the USSR-DPRK border is
 sue came long before the Sino-Soviet 1991 border agreement and much later t
 han the 1962 Sino-North Korean border agreement. The paper argues that the 
 Soviet-North Korean border issue was always used as a bargaining chip by th
 e North Koreans in an attempt to fulfill greater strategic goals.</li></ul>
