Russian Kuril Islands. Islands of the confrontation. Koshkin A.A.

Kurils - ours! Why are the Japanese trying to challenge the fair results of World War II? Is Japan independent in attempts to appropriate the Kuril Islands for himself or is someone behind this desire? Does what is happening with a new Japanese-Russian war-and will it be “small and victorious” for Japan? Even in the pre -war years, Joseph Stalin warned Japanese diplomats that the war with the USSR was not a war with the "rotten Russian Empire." In practice, he proved this in the summer of 1945, in just two weeks, defeating the millionth Kwantun group, freeing the captured lands of China, Korea, returning the southern half of Sakhalin and all the Kuril Islands that had previously belonged to Russia. Being a full -fledged heiress of the Soviet Union, Russia can and should repeat this warning in response to Tokyo more and more shameless attempts to distort the story. Therefore, the sacred duty of the Russians is to remember and honor their past and respond with proper firmness to any attacks on our homeland.
