New - old in the issue of smoked

Since the end of the Second World War, the question of the ownership of the southern Kuril Islands has been a major obstacle to the complete settlement of Russian-Japanese relations and the signing of a peace treaty. The position of Tokyo is that a peace treaty will be concluded only if all the contested islands return to Japanese jurisdiction. At the same time, Japan refused to offer Russia to create a joint commission of historians to find a compromise on the issue of the Kuril Islands.

Each prime minister, each party that won the election is set to return the Kuriles. At the same time, there are parties in Japan that claim not only the southern Kurils, but also all the Kuril Islands up to Kamchatka, as well as the southern part of Sakhalin Island. Also in Japan organized a political movement for the return of the "northern territories", leading regular propaganda activities.

At the same time, the Japanese pretend that there is no border with Russia in the Kuriles region. The southern Kuril Islands belonging to Russia are shown on all maps and postcards as the territory of Japan. Japanese mayors and police chiefs are appointed to these islands. Children in Japanese schools are learning the Russian language - in case the islands are returned to Japan. Moreover, they are taught to show "northern territories" and juvenile kindergarten students on the map. Thus, the idea that Japan does not end here is supported.

As a result of such propaganda, the Japanese have no doubt that Russia will give up the Kuril Islands. At the same time, the Japanese are confident that the islands will be returned to them in the near future, avoiding the thought that it could be otherwise. At the same time, they very carefully study any word spoken in Russia, any behavior of the Russian leaders about the Kuriles, and interpret them in the way that Tokyo benefits. However, hoping that eventually the disputed islands - Kunashir, Shikotan, Iturup and Habomai will return to them, the Japanese are not going to invest money there in the future. This is illustrated by the example of the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, which is significantly lagging behind the south of Japan, and whose development the Japanese government does not wish to finance.

Meanwhile, the Japanese businessmen of the Japanese city of Nemuro understand that if this happens the return of the country of the "northern territories", they will go bankrupt. It was thanks to the Russian tourists that this formerly neglected town flourished. That is why the descendants of the former inhabitants of the Kuriles are not going to return to the Kuriles. Only deep old men intend to return to the islands so that their graves will be along with the graves of their ancestors. And while these people are alive, the authorities are actively using them, for they understand that with time, the reason for “returning refugees to the Kuril Islands” will simply disappear. And this makes Tokyo’s hopes of including islands in its borders unrealizable.

By decision of the Japanese government, starting from 7 February 1982, the country celebrates the "Day of the Northern Territories" annually. It was on this day in 1855 that the Simodas treatise was concluded, the first Russian-Japanese treaty, according to which the islands of southern Kuril Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan and Habomai retreated to Japan. This day is traditionally held a "nationwide rally for the return of the northern territories", which is attended by prime ministers and government ministers, members of parliament from the ruling and opposition political parties, former residents of the southern part of the Kuril Islands. At the same time, dozens of campaigning busts of ultra-right groups with powerful speakers plying between the parliament and the Russian embassy go to the streets of the Japanese capital, painted with slogans and under militaristic flags. At the maximum allowed loudness, old military marches are spread out of them and, in broken Russian, they demand the return of the northern territories to Japan. However, holding rallies in Japan for the return of the "northern territories" is not the best way to strengthen partnerships and an atmosphere of mutual understanding and trust between the two countries, since the manner in which the "Day of the Northern Territories" is celebrated prevents the resolution of the Kuril problem.

The government of the Russian Federation has repeatedly stated that sovereignty over the southern Kurils is not negotiable, and Russia will strengthen its presence in them, making all the necessary efforts for this. In particular, the Federal Target Program "Social and Economic Development of the Kuril Islands" is being implemented, thanks to which the former Japanese "northern territories" are actively building infrastructure facilities, building a new airport in Kurilsk, almost completing the construction of a wharf in the Whale Bay, asphalt roads between settlements . It is also planned to build aquaculture facilities, kindergartens and hospitals. So the help to the residents of the Kuriles, which Japan had previously provided, is no longer needed. Meanwhile, Japan has not yet responded to the proposal of Russia jointly, with mutual benefit, to master the Kuriles. Moreover, the Japanese government calls on foreign firms to refrain from participating in the development of the Kuril Islands, since this will be the de facto recognition of the authority of the Russian Federation over this territory. At the same time, the construction of a port facility on Iturup Island is being carried out by the South Korean construction company Kumuto. At the same time, Koreans declare that since Iturup has a rich nature that favors the location of sanatoriums and ski resorts here, they are ready to take part in their construction.

There is no doubt that the long-term interests of Russia and Japan would be further facilitated by a further consolidation of constructive interaction on topics uniting Moscow and Tokyo. This, in particular, the deepening of political contacts, including closer cooperation in the international arena, the expansion of cultural and humanitarian exchanges, and the building up of mutually beneficial economic cooperation. Moreover, Tokyo is interested in cooperation with Russia, which can become a reliable energy supplier for Japan. At the same time, active joint work on the dynamic advancement of the whole complex of Russian-Japanese relations can help create a favorable background for dialogue and on complex political issues.

Russia is ready to discuss a peace treaty with Japan, based on the UN Charter. Russia is also willing to look for a mutually acceptable way out of the situation with the disputed Kuril Islands. At the same time, the new leadership of Japan, represented by Shinzo Abe, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, which won the election last December, promises to be more accommodating on the Kuril Islands. So, Shinzo Abe expects to solve the territorial problem between Russia and Japan and sign a peace treaty and intends to visit Russia this year.

However, the words of the Japanese prime minister, known for his radical views on foreign policy, are likely to remain words. As you know, Shinzo Abe is a supporter of the abolition of the 9-th article of the Japanese constitution, according to which Japan can not have its own army, but can only be "self-defense forces." Claiming that he was able to solve the existing territorial issues, Shinzo Abe hinted that he was ready to speak from a position of strength. Moreover, Japan intends to increase its military budget for the first time in more than 10 years. Thus, aggressive rhetoric once again sounds in Japan.

Recently, former Japanese Prime Minister Esiro Mori, who was delegated by a special envoy in February 2013 to Moscow, put forward his plan for concluding a peace treaty with Russia. According to this plan, Tokyo can make "unprecedented" concessions in relation to Moscow, recognizing Russian jurisdiction over Iturup Island, the most populated of the southern Kuril Islands. At the same time, Japan plans to take the islands of Shikotan, Kunashir and Habomai. Thus, the "concessions" relate to the weaning of the islands belonging to Russia. Meanwhile, according to the Secretary General of the Japanese Cabinet of Ministers Yoshihide Suga, the Japanese government maintains the previous position, which consists in the need to determine the territorial affiliation, of course, in favor of Japan, all the southern Kuril Islands, and conclude a peace treaty with Russia. At the same time, according to him, Japan is ready to show a flexible approach in terms of their actual return. Thus, Suga actually repeated the line of Japan on the Kuril Islands, which had been repeatedly stated before.

However, Russia will not make territorial concessions to Japan. Moscow believes that Russia's sovereignty over the Kuril Islands is absolutely legal and cannot be doubted. And the solution to the problem of a peace treaty, including the issue of border delimitation, should be mutually acceptable, approved by the public and parliaments of both countries and not harm the sovereignty and national interests of Russia.

According to Tokai University professor Yoshihiko Yamada, now is the time to speed up negotiations with Russia. In his view, Japan should leave self-derogatory historical position, prepare materials with new grounds for discussion and begin negotiations on disputed territories that will determine the future of Japanese-Russian relations.

            This is Uncle Sam star-striped

            Uncle Sam arose as the personification of the United States during the British-American War of 1812. American folklore claims that the expression “Uncle Sam” was associated with the butcher Samuel Wilson, who supplied provisions to Troy’s New York military base. Wilson labeled meat barrels with the letters US, referring to the United States, and the soldiers jokingly said that the meat came from Uncle Sam.
            On March 13, 1852, the New York newspaper NY Lantern Weekly allegedly published the first image of Uncle Sam. The traditional image was mainly created by the artist Thomas Nast in a series of political cartoons published in the second half of the XNUMXth century.



            It is known that Churchill and Roosevelt called I.V. Stalin's “Uncle Joe” - “Uncle Joe”. He knew about this and was not offended. But in general, Stalin had a bunch of pseudonyms., Like no other politician in world history

            Stalin Joe called Churchill in private conversations. In the case of recognition of sovereignty over this group of islands, Japan gains open access to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, in accordance with an international agreement establishing the territorial, fishing and international borders of the territories of states, which means that all ships and ships can enter the Sea of ​​Okhotsk using permission that will give these ships are Japan .And American warships too. Now the Sea of ​​Okhotsk is our inland sea. Like this .

              This is not true. Here's what the wiki writes about this:
              The Sea of ​​Okhotsk, although it is surrounded on almost all sides by the territory of the Russian Federation, is not its inland sea; its waters are composed of inland sea waters, the territorial sea and the exclusive economic zone. In the central part of the sea there is a stretch in the meridional direction, traditionally referred to as Peanut Hole in English literature, which is not part of the exclusive economic zone of Russia and is legally an open sea; in particular, any country in the world has the right here to fish and carry out other activities permitted by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Since this region is an important element for the reproduction of the population of some species of commercial fish, some governments explicitly prohibit their vessels from fishing in this section of the sea.

    A complete reorientation of export-import from Japan to China will finally put Japan's economy, if not in oak, then in a long box.
    Russia's position on the disputed Senkaku Islands may not be limited to neutrality, but be guided by "Russian national interests."

Now everything will depend on the position of Russia: if it is very hardy, ours can hand over the Kuril Islands to Yapam. Look, in the mid-90s EBN wanted to do this, but the people got scared ...

    I can be mistaken, but Japan should have a huge sum of money for Russia. The story begins in World War I. Russia bought weapons from America through Japan. When the revolution took place in Japan, Japan just received a huge amount of money for the purchase of this weapon, but according to the ancient samurai tradition, this money was simply kept at home. And now, they have the audacity to demand the islands too.

    Moscow believes that Russia's sovereignty over the Kuril Islands is absolutely legitimate and not in doubt.

    Then why?

    Russia is also showing its readiness to seek a mutually acceptable way out of the situation with the disputed Kuril Islands.

    ... Russia's proposals to create a joint commission of historians to find a compromise on the problem of the Kuril Islands.

      ... Russia's proposals to create a joint commission of historians to find a compromise on the problem of the Kuril Islands.


      And here comes "our answer to Chamberlain." Specifically, there is an opportunity to roll out such a sickly Ippon that they will rake for 50 years, no less. Will explain.
      Territorial disagreements are resolved by (including) studying the history of the settlement of peoples of any land. But on the northern islands from ancient times the AINS people live, who do not consider themselves Japanese.
      Once the Ainu also lived on the territory of Russia in the lower reaches of the Amur, in Kamchatka, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. At present, the Ainu remained only in Japan. There are about 30000 of them: about 25000 live in Hokkaido, the rest - in other parts of Japan, mainly in Tokyo.

      In Japan, work has been done that allows us to hope that genetics are able to solve the question of who are the ancestors of the Japanese. Along with the Japanese living in the central islands of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, anthropologists distinguish two more modern ethnic groups: Ainu from Hokkaido in the north and Ryukyu people living mainly on the southernmost island of 0kinawa.

      And here is Ainu in a photograph from 1904. If someone showed me this photo and said that these are "native Japanese", I would have laughed, because in the photo there are some Tobolsk Old Believers in Tatar robes:

      Ainu


      The position of the Ainu language in the genealogical classification of languages ​​is still not established. In this regard, the situation in linguistics is similar to the situation in anthropology. The Ainu language is radically different from Japanese, Nivkh, Itelmen, Chinese, as well as other languages ​​of the Far East, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean. At present, the Ainu have completely switched to Japanese, and Ainu can almost be considered dead. The Ainu language is considered isolated, although attempts have been made to bring it closer to many families of Eurasia. The letter uses either katakana or the Latin alphabet.
      Europeans, faced with the Ainu in the XVII century, were struck by their appearance. Unlike the usual kind of people of the Mongoloid race with yellow skin, a Mongolian fold of the eyelid, sparse facial hair, Ainu had unusually thick hair covering their heads, wore huge beards and mustaches (holding special sticks while eating), their facial features were similar to European.

        Based on this, it would be nice, of course, "on orders from above" to unleash such turbulence in the media about raising the "spirit of independence" of the Ainu on the example of the republics of the former RSFSR in the 90s of the last century, that the Yap leadership will have only the question of preserving the existing integrity of Japan as a single state, and the desire to "claim" for "new" territories will disappear for a long time.
        And we know how the media know how to "prove".

        In fact, you can find a lot of information about Ainu, but I’ll send those interested here here -

          All this is nonsense. You need to start with the fact that the USSR is not the successor of the Russian Empire, therefore, all international treaties concluded before the formation of the USSR have no legal force. Therefore, everything should be based on the "Beijing Treaty of 1925." along which the boundaries of states are determined. After the end of the war, the countries had to decide on the borders and sign a peace treaty, as was the case with Germany, but if the Japanese did not have any questions about South Sakhalin, then contradictions arose over the Kuril Islands. I think in 1945. this issue could have been easily resolved, but it seems that it was deliberately delayed, leaving the countries in fact in a state of ceasefire, which could easily be violated without causing any protests in world society ...

Pilsudski. But the main theme - the beginning of the 80s of the last century - is where the anti-Russian theme of the younger generation is "forged". And so day after day, day after day ...
    Channel "Zvezda" has a patriotic focus.
    And you need to "roll" daily a documentary and serious research about Katyn, about the fate of the captured Red Army soldiers in "vskhodnykh kresakh", about the real situation in the Baltic States in 1939-1940 ...
    There are fertile topics that should not be "kept on the shelves", but beautiful and honest propaganda.

Yes, if today we donate these islands to Yap, tomorrow the United States will set up its military base there and even they will not be asked much.

    Since the end of World War II, the issue of ownership of the southern Kuril Islands has been the main obstacle to the full settlement of Russian-Japanese relations and the signing of a peace treaty. Tokyo's position is
    The problem of the Kuril Islands did not arise immediately after the end of the Second World War.
    Once, and there was no reason even then for the Japanese to raise something there into the problem.
    As always, American "friends" created the current situation ...
    Shinzo Abe is a supporter of the abolition of the 9th article of the Japanese constitution, according to which Japan cannot have its own army, but can only have "self-defense forces." Claiming that he was able to resolve the existing territorial issues, Shinzo Abe hinted that he was ready to speak from a position of strength. Moreover, Japan intends to increase its military budget for the first time in more than 10 years. Thus, aggressive rhetoric is once again heard in Japan.
    Japanese aggression on the Kuril Islands is very possible ...
    So it would be, if there had not been an earthquake (?) And Fukushima ...
    Then the yapes had already reached shelling at the rate of our approaching transport personnel, and a fleet of small amphibious assault forces were ready at their shores.
    So obviously, as Americans, we cannot destroy Japanese cities, but obviously technically we can repeat the tsunami ...
    Only deep old people intend to return to the islands, so that their graves would be together with the graves of their ancestors. And while these people are alive, the authorities are actively using them, because they understand that over time, the reason for "returning refugees to the Kuril Islands" will simply disappear. And this makes Tokyo's hopes of incorporating the islands into its borders unrealizable.
    Hopes have long been unrealizable, because there can be no graves of Japanese ancestors on the islands, except for victims on both sides in the battles for the islands in 1945, and missing hunters from Hokkaido ... There are more bones of Ainu and their ancestors who were Europeans on the Kuril Islands and Hokkaido, which the Japanese destroyed by genocide ...
    So horseradish with butter to Japan’s mother next door - let them answer us for the Ainu brothers, then for Aurora, then for civilian victims, in August 45th, let the king-eyed gold be returned - to complete the picture of the debt, let it begin -so repent for the deeds of their ancestors, and only then you can talk about joint activities under the supervision of the Russian Armed Forces ...
    And so .......................... went to the stump, cunning!
