The Japanese were outraged by the new Russian five-ruble coin
Japan was outraged by the new Russian five-ruble coin issued by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. The coin is dedicated to the Kuril airborne operation that took place in August 1945.
The coin is issued in a circulation of 2 million copies. The obverse of the coin bears the inscription "Kuril landing operation. 1945" and the image of a memorial stele dedicated to the Soviet soldiers-liberators of the Kuriles, which was installed in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
As the Japanese edition of Hokkaido Shimbun writes, Russia in the year of the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II in every possible way emphasizes its role as a winner. The issue of a commemorative coin dedicated to the seizure of the Japanese "Northern Territories", Moscow seeks to show the inviolability of its right to sovereignty over the four islands of the South Kuril group.
According to the newspaper, in 1945, the Soviet Union, having violated the Japanese-Soviet Neutrality Pact, entered the war with Japan and after the surrender "occupied the northern territories." Russia, being the legal successor of the Soviet Union, is not going to return these territories to Japan, declaring its sovereignty over the islands.
