Grandfather fought for hikivaki?

72
Within the framework of the G-20 summit in St. Petersburg, a meeting was held between President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe. One of the most important topics raised during the meeting was a discussion of the prospects for concluding a long-awaited peace treaty between Russia and Japan. Of course, this is an important matter - Japan is Russia's eastern neighbor, it is an influential and very economically and technologically developed state, with which it would be nice to have good relations.

Recall that officially the peace between the Soviet Union and Japan, which suffered a defeat as a result of World War II and who capitulated September 2 on 1945, was never signed. As a result of the war, some territories, formerly belonging to the Japanese Empire, were ceded to the Soviet Union. The affiliation of the Southern Kuriles, including the islands of Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan and the islands of Habomai, has been disputed by Japan for almost seventy years since the end of World War II. For many decades, the Soviet Union, and then the Russian Federation, recognized in the world as the actual successor of the Soviet state, did not agree with Japan’s territorial claims to the South Kurile Islands. In turn, Japan put the transfer of the specified territories to it as the main condition for the signing of the long-awaited peace treaty.

For a long time, Russian leaders did not go about the Japanese and did not agree with the demands put forward by the transfer of the insular empire of the Southern Kuriles. Even Boris Yeltsin, on whose conscience “the parade of sovereignties”, ultimately did not go so far as to give the Southern Kurils to the Japanese. I would like to hope that Vladimir Putin will not enter history as president, who gave the Kurils.

At the meeting held in St. Petersburg, the Russian president and the Japanese prime minister reached an agreement ... attention! ... to take the principle of "hikivaki" as the basis for further activities in the framework of the signing of a peace treaty. This Japanese term, as reported by various media, should be well known to the Russian president as a professional judoka. “No winners, no losers!” - so in Russian you can convey its essence. In sports - a draw! It is understood that Russia and Japan will be equal participants in the further negotiation process and, as it should be understood, Russia's historical truth, the reasons for the transfer of the South Kuril Islands to it will not be taken into account.

Grandfather fought for hikivaki?

But let me! The Soviet Union, although initially did not take part in the war against Japan, which unfolded in 1941 — the first half of 1945. in the Asia-Pacific region, it concentrated considerable military resources in the Far East precisely because of the danger of Japan joining the war against the USSR on the side of Hitler's Germany. The Soviet army on the western front suffered colossal losses and was deprived of the support of those fresh forces that could be transferred from the Far East, if Japan had not openly threatened the Soviet borders.

8 August 1945, the Soviet Union officially declared war on Japan, thus joining the war on the side of the Allies in the anti-Hitler coalition. The main battles between the Soviet and Mongolian troops and the Japanese were launched in Northeast China, on the territory of Manchuria. It was there that the famous Kwantung Army was defeated. However, there were bloody battles on the Far Eastern islands. Soviet troops liberated South Sakhalin. And from August 18 to September 1 1945, for two weeks, the Kuril landing operation lasted. For several days, by August 23, the Soviet troops managed to occupy the Northern Kuriles. From 23 August to 1 September there were battles for the islands of the South Kuriles - the very territories that Japan claims today. In early September, the Habomai Islands were occupied by Soviet troops. Directly in the Kuril landing operation, Soviet troops participated in a total of 15 000 people who managed in a short time to defeat the 80-thousandth Japanese army. Despite the clear numerical superiority, in the battles for the Kuriles, the samurai did not show vaunted resilience and were quickly defeated by Soviet troops. 50 Thousands of 442 Japanese soldiers and officers, including four generals, were captured.

According to official figures, more than one and a half million (1 million 577 thousand 225) Soviet and Mongolian soldiers and officers took part in the hostilities against Japan. Many Soviet troops found themselves on the eastern front and with honor carried the banner of victory at the other end of the Soviet state. Grandfather of the author of the article, naval officer fleet, also participated in the Soviet-Japanese war and was awarded the corresponding awards for the victory over Japan. Veterans of the Soviet-Japanese war, although less than the Great Patriotic War, but they were and are - and their military feat deserves no less respect.

More than 12 thousands (according to official data) of Soviet soldiers and officers gave their lives in the name of the victory over Hitler’s Asian allies. 1 One thousand 567 Soviet soldiers and officers died directly in the battles for the Kuril Islands. The Soviet representative, Lieutenant General Kuzma Derevyanko (the heroic officer — who had fought all his life, a military intelligence officer who died untimely at 50, from cancer earned after visiting Hiroshima and Nagasaki) was among those who signed the Japan Surrender Act. That is, Japan capitulated, recognized its military defeat, and the Soviet Union. That is, not the Hikivaks, but the harakiri of the Japanese Empire became the finale of the Second World War.


Now it turns out that there are “neither winners nor losers”. Hikivaki! Orders and medals of my grandfather - are they unreal? He did not win? Other Soviet soldiers and officers did not die? Is it possible, even if guided by opportunistic political or, there, economic considerations, to rewrite history, openly rejecting what was conquered and achieved by our fathers and grandfathers with such difficulty, real feats?

Being the successor of the Soviet Union, Russia rightly inherits the victories made by Soviet soldiers, fathers and grandfathers of modern Russian citizens. The point is not only whether or not to concede to Japan the strategic South Kuril Islands, for which the Soviet people fought. The point is in the very formulations that insult the memory of the dead and surviving participants of the Great Patriotic War. The memory of the one and a half thousand Soviet servicemen who died in the Kuril landing operation. Moreover, exactly on the 68 anniversary of Victory Day over Japan (the first time such a holiday was celebrated in the USSR - September 3). Today, Hikivaki with Japan, and tomorrow it will turn out - with Germany, too, Hikivaki and is it time to give Kaliningrad?

The Russian Federation is a huge state, a world superpower (at least, we would like to!). Its prestige and position in the world arena depend, among other things, on how sensitively Russia and its citizens relate to their own history, to the historical victories of the Russian and Soviet state. Therefore, in such situations as the dispute over the South Kuriles, even guided by considerations of immediate benefit, in no case can one rewrite history. Russian diplomacy must show its effectiveness, having managed to reach an agreement with Japan and officially conclude a long-awaited peace without territorial concessions and, especially, without a reassessment of the consequences of the Great Victory.

    Hikivaki winked ? This is a hakivaki from the USA after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and it’s such that your memory is completely bogged down by someone who poured nuclear bombs on your heads. And from Russia, only hara-kiri, and the well-known root crop to catch up. Do you want the Kuril Islands? So smoke aside. And remember that:

      The surrender of the position of the USSR (Russia) Winner of the second superpower of the world, unfortunately, is logical because of the defeat of the USSR in the Cold (World War 3) and because of the destruction of the economy, industry and agriculture committed during the criminal suicidal privatization.
      Russia is now being dictated by conditions. She was led to this by the traitor Gorbachev, the drunkard and the American puppet Yeltsin with his pro-American pack of assistants, and the current leaders of modern Russia, Putin and Medvedev, "had a hand" and did not show much zeal to protect Russia's state sovereignty and restore its ruined economy.
      Hence the position of a weak Russia "to take as a basis for further measures in the framework of the signing of the peace treaty with Japan the principle of" hikivaki "-" No winners, no losers! "
      It is a pity to Russia, we are a generation of sons and grandchildren of the Winners, who were unworthy of our fathers and grandfathers! We betrayed their deeds and achievements.
      And unfortunately, I think, despite our cheering patriotic slogans here, weakening of Russia and the loss of state territory, including that, will not end there.

          Americans will never let Japan go for good.
          And Japan cannot make decisions bypassing America itself.
          And if so, then they won’t get the Kuril Islands, never.

        If there has been a usurpation of power and public property, if it has happened - << destruction of the economy, industry and agriculture, committed in the course of the criminal suicidal privatization >> - resulting in partly - << Russia is now dictated by conditions >> - This does not mean at all that the USSR lost in the war, and EBN was a state puppet.
        Rather, it means that part of the nomenclature of the second half of the USSR deliberately felled the country, and did this not on the basis of a state order, but on its own initiative and with the benefit exclusively for its beloved, as a result of which - << the current leaders of modern Russia Putin and Medvedev >> - being a logical continuation of EBNya, labeled and Andropov - << "put their hand" and do not show much zeal to protect the state sovereignty of Russia and restore its ruined economy >>.

        Our grandfathers and Germany won with its satellite satellites, but no one annexed Eastern Europe. The problems of the Warsaw Pact states became the last cause of the collapse for the USSR.
        Everything is much dumber with the Kuril Islands. Not a single ruler of ours bothered to give the task to lawyers to find a weighty argument in international law on our priority in owning the South Kuril Islands. Permanent references to the discovery of the South Kuril Islands by Russian sailors are ridiculous in that the southernmost of these islands from Japan is visible in fine weather.
        Japan is unlikely to need the islands themselves - a hundred and twenty-mile zone is more important, the samurai do not pretend to the rest of the islands, so these hundred and twenty miles will intersect one and all. In any case, an agreement on joint use with Japan will be necessary (it is still necessary).
        We just need to claim preferences that are beneficial for us, and it’s easier for both Chinese poachers to catch the two of us, and our fishermen sell their whole catch to the Japanese anyway (of course, without taxes to the treasury of Russia).
        There is nothing of ours in those places (I was there, I saw it myself). The Chinese and Japanese are in command. And here they offer a non-free option when Japan and Russia will steer (or even vice versa). In my humble opinion, on the issue of the South Kuril Islands, the main thing is not to sell cheap, as was the case with Eastern Europe under Gorbach. One of my grandfathers fought with the Japanese, that is, the blood of our soldiers is far from indifferent to me. But the same grandfather liberated Prague, other South Europe (Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary - one of the Ukrainian fronts) and Koenigsberg, Poland (Third Belarusian). Apart from the Kaliningrad region, we not only did not have any of the territories conquered by my relatives, but we never had any (and more Russian blood was shed there). In the foreseeable future, Japan will not be able to take away the Southern Kuriles from us, but the question is open and will never close (even if we destroy Japan - Russia is not the United States and not shaved with Malvinas). That is why the option "not for you - nor for us) is very appropriate in negotiations ...

        "Draw" is not about the right to the islands, but about the negotiations themselves - there are no winners in them, they stayed where they were. Probably it meant that the negotiations would start from scratch, from scratch, anew.
        It turns out that this is, on the contrary, improving relations with Japan, maybe this time they will be more accommodating and do without "Give the islands!"

    It is necessary to bargain peacefully and civilized. For half the Kuril Islands, let the Japanese sell the return of Alaska from their allies. In the trading process, we’ll go down to half of Alaska for half of the Kuril Islands. In my opinion it is fair. And if all the Kuril Islands are for the whole of Alaska - then in any case - the economic zone is used on an equal footing (or immediately draw the borders of the zones in the agreement). This is a brush. Stop giving. No one gives. Are we like redheads? tired of it. It is necessary to have an alliance with China forever and, together with China, restrain them forever.

            If Russian men were dear to Stalin, he would not send them to the war with Japan, and even earlier he would not drive them to Kiev and Vyazemsky boilers.

    The Soviet army on the western front suffered tremendous losses and was deprived of the support of those fresh forces that could have been transferred from the Far East if Japan had not openly threatened Soviet borders.

    I agree with the patriotism of the author, but here he is wrong. It was the Far Eastern 40 divisions that saved the situation near Moscow. According to the documents, this Sorge obtained evidence that Japan did not enter the war.
    And after that they did not attack, when the main forces left, the Far East was exposed.

    And from August 18 to September 1, 1945, two weeks, the Kuril landing operation lasted.

    Hiroshima bombing - August 6, Nagasaki - August 9. The meaning of the Kuril landing was that the islands would not go to the Americans. There were airfields, they could be based there, and for a long time.
    How to rid the Japanese of American influence, at what cost is the question. Our graters with them is a game of the United States and England against us. The Japanese themselves, more adequate than the Chinese and Koreans, can get along with them.

      Join forces in this direction with China. They also have territorial graters with Japan. They will be profitable. We sign a bilateral memorandum - we recognize their claims to Taiwan and the disputed territories with Japan, they recognize the Kuril Islands as our forever, and are putting together military and diplomatic efforts in this direction. The Chinese will never forget the Japanese occupation. Japan after the collapse of the green will be in the opera, you can bend it together with China at that moment. China, if it decides together with Russia to replace the dollar, will simply be forced to bomb American bases in Japan in the event of a conflict with bankers. Here is the solution to the American presence. On the Chinese side, this may even look like constant carpet bombing of Japanese territory without a ground operation. The condition for termination is the complete withdrawal of the American military, guarantees of their non-return, and, accordingly, a peace treaty on borders. And if we are in conjunction with China in currency and in the military alliance, then, accordingly, we participate in the agreement, with the demarcation of borders on our cards. Something like this. Do not give up the Kuril without a fight.

      By the way, they organized the genocide of the Orthodox Ainu in their time.

        Join forces in this direction with China.

        In theory, yes. But I practically see the impossibility to come to an agreement with the Chinese, they do it, without a flight of thought. They do everything "quietly" - firstly, they have always been slaves, peasants, and secondly, such a philosophy, in small steps. Here is an example: on the Amur they make a coastal embankment in the Blagoveshchensk region, we do not give them an outlet at the mouth of the Amur, so they poisoned all the fish with phenol.
        The Japanese, yes, bloodthirsty, few Asians, also run wild on the islands. But a big plus is the Bushido code, if they say something, they are doing it. With the Ainu, but they went too far, we could not save them. Sorry for the Ainu.
        As for geopolitics, I would have done this: I would have thrown the Americans in the place of Stalin. His troops escaped. I would have agreed with the Japanese on neutrality, they would have sent the Kwantung army to the Sha, and the Sha would have been busy there for a long time. We could help with weapons, ammunition. In addition to these two bombs, they no longer had it, but for now they would have done, tormented by swallowing dust. The result: a peace treaty with Japan, the absence of military bases of the Sha, Sha, forever the enemies of Japan. That is what we need.

        China land and Stalin

        China has territorial disputes with all its neighbors. Why did Stalin take it? Probably a purely political step. He gave it back on the eve of the Korean War in 1950. We, with the exception of pilots and other military experts, fought in Korea with Chinese hands, or rather soldiers. He gave away our control rights The Chinese Changchun (former CER) railway with all its property. Also Kwantung region with islands - 3168 square meters. km. Well, yes, a lot. Maybe the Chinese tactfully reminded him of the events of 1900, when Russia by force attached itself to the territories designated as Chinese. And even from 1887 to 1908, Russia managed by force from the Qing rule to conclude five border review protocols with that to move the Sino-Russian western borders. Through the Iliy Sino-Russian agreement, tsarist Russia secured Chinese lands to itself northeast of Tachen and west of Ili and Kashiger, which totaled 70 square kilometers. In any case, I think the Stalinist decision was pragmatic. Moreover, then China was a real ally.

    It is necessary to change the Yeltsin constitution to the fucking dogs. And about the multiplicity of ideologies to throw away, to leave only one - the ideology of "Mighty Russia". And register there the impossibility of changing the boundaries. How much can you? They paid for the lands of Latvia with the blood of their ancestors and real gold to the Swedes and Germans. Whose territory is this? Our grandfathers fought for it, not Latvians, with the money we earned, they paid for the right to own this land. Who will return the money? Who will compensate for the loss? EBN, he did not create this power, he did not have the right to unharness the territory. And in the same way, Putin has no right to decide who to give what, when and how much Russian land. It is elementary to learn common sense from the Chinese in such matters.

    I love analogies. In Ghana, after gaining independence, huge territories along the coast - where now the capital, and the port, and expensive resort areas, were acquired by the tribal leaders. And of course, these leaders began to profitably sell these lands (thanks to the investment policy of Ghana, the price tag for the land is large) to visitors and local investors. As a result, the "indigenous" were caught in a narrow strip between the city and the Gulf of Guinea. The coast of the city in Africa is a dump, the ocean is a gutter, there is no purification as such, a sewage system directly into the rivers and right into the bay right within the city limits. Now all these crowds live in a dump next to a cesspool. The territory is not a trade item.

          The whole truth is that in the 1905 year Russia defeated Japan, exhausting its economy and defeating its army and navy.
          The Japanese did not have their military industry ships, guns, shells, gunpowder and even coal they bought in Europe. Russia could have fought another year, two, three, and Japan could no longer.
          The feeble-minded king could not negotiate with the Japanese himself and achieve a peace favorable to Russia, and Witte instructed the chairman of the cabinet, who invited the Yankees to be intermediaries, and even they defended the interests of the Japanese against Russia.

    Therefore, in situations such as the debate about the South Kuril Islands, even guided by considerations of immediate benefit, in no case can you rewrite history. Russian diplomacy must show its effectiveness by managing to negotiate with Japan and formally conclude the long-awaited peace without territorial concessions and, all the more, without reassessing the consequences of the Great Victory.

    A simple question: - If the Japanese in the 1945 year defeated the USSR and captured Kamchatka, the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin, would they return them to Russia voluntarily? The answer is obvious, no one, without emergency, voluntarily surrenders their territories even after defeating, let alone defeating them, all the more so.
    What's happened to the battle is holy.
    In addition, the Japanese are just Yankees puppets, as soon as they take possession of the islands, Yusov military bases will be stationed on them.
    Those who are seriously discussing the issue of transferring at least a piece of land to the beaten Japanese should be quartered as Russia's greatest traitors and enemies.

So somehow I had a conversation with him for a long time and touched on the topic of the Kuriles, his answer surprised me: he said that, firstly, the Kurils are needed not so much by the Japanese as by the Amers, who, apparently, are constantly urging them to demand them back. And secondly, Japanese politicians, constantly advocating the return of the Kuril Islands, earn themselves the votes of local nationalists or simply "conservative" strata of society, of which they have many. As for Putin, I think the author is in vain worries: given the current strengthening of our positions in world politics, he is unlikely to take such steps, especially since Japan is more likely to be at a disadvantage now, not Russia)
