A. The Plaintiff asserted that the Plaintiff was threatened by his personal threat, such as demanding the president of the workplace to compensate for damages caused by a traffic accident, etc. on the wind of the workplace that causes a traffic accident while driving a cargo vehicle at the workplace. As such, there is sufficient risk that the Plaintiff would suffer from persecution in the event that the Plaintiff returns to Russia, and this constitutes a reasonable fear.

Therefore, the instant disposition is unlawful.

B. Determination 1) In full view of the provisions of Article 2 subparag. 1 and Article 18 of the Refugee Act, Article 1 of the Refugee Convention, and Article 1 of the Refugee Protocol, foreigners who, owing to well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, are unable to be protected of the country of nationality or who, owing to such fear, are unable to return to the country of nationality or who resided in the country of nationality before entering the Republic of Korea, or who does not want to return to the country of nationality, or who does not want to return to the country of nationality.

A foreigner applying for recognition of refugee shall prove that there is a well-founded fear of persecution (see Supreme Court Decision 2012Du14378, Apr. 25, 2013).
