The book lists 2 or 3 Koreans (appear to be
so). From looking their spelling (Korean -> Russian ->
English) it is hard to say who they are.
I know Lee Sang Jo - one of the three NK delegates
at the truce talks - defected to Russia and has written articles for Seoul
mags. There may be other Soviet- or Yenan-Korean defectors in
Moscow.

Maury,
I sent a message around
that came from the new Russian book. Their conclusion (at least the Institute
of Military History, their official historians) was that the DPRK took
advantage of cross border raids (which both sides were conducting) to pick one
and use it as the excuse.
But as a measured response to a 100-man
raiding team, turning 200,000 troops loose in a drive to wipe all ROKA and US
forces from the peninsula is a bit of overrreaction...
