In Japan, August 14 is considered to be the day that the Pacific War ended, and Imperial Japan actually surrendered on
August 15. This day became known in the English-speaking countries as" Victory over Japan Day".
However, Russian Military force landed on the Etorofu Island, a part of Hokkaido on August 28, despite the war had been ended,
and quickly occupied our Northern Islands of Japan for only nine days.

In 1992, the former Secretary of State of Russia, G.E.Burbulis talked at a lecture held at a hotel in Tokyo that
the military occupation occurred in 1945 is caused by the invasive action of Stalin's regime, and he convinced
that the four northern islands off Hokkaido will, sooner or later, return to Japan

(L) Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan, Minoru Tanba
(M) Polish-born Yastrzhemsky bitterly opposed to returning the Northern lands to Japan.
Had he no mind to show anger against German troops invaded Poland in 1939?
(R) All Japanese newspapers showed a rejection against the first-step return of the two islands.


(L) In 2001, Russian president, Vladimir Putin said the Soviet Parliament had ratified the agreement between Japan and USSR
that the two islands of Shikotan and Habomai should be returned, and it is our duty to do so.

(M) A member of Jaoanese Parliament, Muneo Suzuki, it is difficult to request Russia to return the four islands together,
and it is rather wise to ask the two islands of Shikotan and Habomai at first. He is known to conduct an economic
aid to the four islanders from Japan, when a financial crisis occurred and one third of people evacuated to the main land
of Russia during the period after 1991.
(R) Director General, Europa-Asia Affairs Bureau, Kazuhiko Togo said that a politics does not always reflect a legal basis
of the problems.

and the two islands of Shikotan and Habomai, is very important in the point of stratagem, and
he proposed to put 17.9 billion Rouble ( about 50 billion Yen ) for infrastructure and economic
assistance of the islanders.
