This is the right move. It is necessary to seriously deal with the Kuril Islands. Frontiers of the state are a holy thing.

The abandoned military airfield remaining from the war will be put into operation on Matua. What else will ours stir up, we will soon find out.

The Russian Geographical Society was created far from being civilian figures:

The Russian Geographical Society was created on August 6 (18), 1845 by the Highest Order of Emperor Nicholas I, who approved the presentation of the Minister of the Interior of the Russian Empire, Count L. A. Perovsky, on the creation of the Russian Geographical Society in St. Petersburg (from December 28, 1849 - the Imperial Russian Geographical Society).

A hole to them from a bagel and not the Kuril Islands ...

From a dead donkey ears let it gnaw Japan. Even the whole world quickly forgot what inhuman experiments the Japanese had set on people (Chinese, Koreans, Russians, captured Americans, etc.) ... Satanic cruelty and vengeance are in the blood of the Japanese. They made tons of china bombs with biological, bacteriological, and poisonous weapons ... they wanted to bomb China, America, and the USSR.
Everyone in the world somehow forgot about the Khabarovsk process.
The most powerful Kwantung army of Japan could compete with any army of world powers. It was comparable in number with the army of the USSR, and at sea it was significantly superior to it. Women and children of Japan were ready to give their lives in anyone in the war with anyone at least ... such was the policy of the then emperor tyrant Hirohito. Damn, like some sect. Even after the nuclear bombing, the people of Japan did not break and was ready to take revenge and die. The emperor himself betrayed them - he safely faded to the USA, and they warmed him.
If it were not for our timely Kuril landing on the return of the Kuriles, then despite the agreement with America on the post-war withdrawal of all the islands to the USSR ... all those islands would now have US missiles. America and England, although they were "allies", as always wanted to get ahead and deceive the USSR.
The Kuril Islands - the historical lands of Russia, withdrew from Japan after the Russo-Japanese War, however, in 1905.
It is impossible to give !!! There Klondike stocks of fish, seafood and, as they say, large reserves of gas and oil.
And the geostrategic importance of the Kuril Islands can hardly be overestimated!
The island of Matua is full of mysteries ... these are the former: base, laboratory, training ground, land battleship and aircraft carrier of the Japanese army. Interesting videos on the internet.

The Kuril Islands as a chain cover our Far East from Kamchatka to Japan from the Pacific Ocean. Only through the narrow straits between the islands can you go to us and from us. Such an adversary should not be surrendered in any case.

The Kuril Islands are blocking our Far East. Such an adversary should not be surrendered in any case.

The enemy is not allowed, but "respected partners" can.
And, seriously, the Kurils should not be given away in any case - these pieces of land are of strategic importance. It's good that alcohol-Yeltsin, at one time, did not have time to commit this meanness. However, the issue of the "northern territories" will always be a stumbling block in Russian-Japanese relations. I have met such an opinion that the southern Kuriles should be recognized as Japanese territory, but at the same time, their transfer to the RF for perpetual use should be secured by an agreement, without any subsequent attempts to alienate. At the same time, link with this the condition for the withdrawal of American bases from Japan. And on these grounds, finally, to conclude a peace treaty.
Do you think this option is possible?

[DMB_95]

In the case of the Kuril Islands, I would not play diplomatic games. Too greasy piece on the line. And since he is now de facto ours, it is better to rest against the horn and spit on de jure. IMHO.

[matross]

But why does Russia need a peace treaty with samurai, in principle? Japs want islands, that's understandable. And what kind of gesheft do we need? Investments, preferences, sanctions will be canceled? Let them shove them in the ass!

[Orionvit]

In the 90s, I remember a story on TV that they say Yeltsin is deciding the issue of transferring part of the Kuril Islands to Japan. So then there was a porch on the islands of Caucasians. Thought in one fell swoop "to join the Japanese culture", but their cunning ... misfired. A trifle but nice.

[GSH-18]

Quote: Ami du peuple

Do you think this option is possible?

Not. Not possible.
Japan signed an unconditional surrender. Which means that we are not at war. Consequently, the need to sign a "peace treaty" was invented in order to chop off the islands. In addition, the absence of this "document" does not in any way prevent the Japs from trading with us and developing their business in the Russian Federation, of course, until Uncle Sam shouts.

The island of Matua is relatively small and is located in the center of the Kuril ridge, who, of course, is most visible to the big one. But why on this island?

But why on this island?

Of course, for TF, the likeness of Pearl Harbor on Matua will not work, however, the island is interesting for the military.

At one time, the journal “AiF - Kamchatka” also had a chance to visit Matua. I can say that the abundance of military buildings in a relatively small space is really impressive. The island is dug up and down ditches and trenches. The bunkers here are well preserved, and the airfield, perhaps, can be used today. Hardworking Japanese cut down a cave in one of the rocks, where a submarine can easily hide.

Interestingly, at one time, the Americans laid eyes on Matua. This is evidenced by the correspondence of Stalin with Harry Truman. The US President expressed a desire "to have the rights to air bases for land and sea aircraft in one of the Kuril Islands, preferably in the central group." Apparently, it was Matua, because there are no airdromes on other islands of the “central group”. Stalin, in principle, did not refuse Truman. But in a response letter he asked him in return for one of the islands of the Aleutian ridge in order to place a Soviet military base on it. The topic was then closed.

This, as far as I understand, is not one of the islands they claim to be.

I think that if the "problem of the northern territories" and Matua are somehow connected with each other, it is very indirectly. You can get to the disputed territory from Sakhalin faster and cover it more reliably. This is the basis for the "chas" of the entire North Pacific Ocean, and this is a slightly different song. But that's what I think. Only those "close" to the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces can reveal the true motivation.

[Galleon]

Not only bowing: now it will be very difficult for them to steal fish in our waters in the South Kuril region and in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk - it will be the same food embargo as with Europe, only the Far Eastern version. Because it is necessary to wean the neighbors from the sweet American ass.

On the island of Matua from World War II, 3 runways built by the Japanese and a large number of pillboxes hidden in the mountains remained.

It will be very nice to make an aircraft carrier and a navy base out of this island,
and keep everyone under the hood!

Missile launchers will be more efficient and cheaper

That's it. From there "calibers" shoot through the entire unsinkable aircraft carrier. and air defense systems will allow you to land something that accidentally takes off.

Well, not quite. There was our frontier post. There was a powerful fortification of the Japanese during the occupation. And today, these structures still retain their former greatness and reliability. There are 3 runways of 2000 and 1500 meters with a width of up to 70 meters. There is a quiet spot for TF vessels raid. Much will have to be restored, cleaned of dirt and debris and Russian-Japanese scrap metal. But, duma., For TF you need your own base on the outer perimeter. Probably not for nothing that Truman was eager to go there.

I had to visit these parts. I checked how the Tropic RSDN station was installed. When you come for a week, the beauty is incredible. Everything is different from Moscow. And the sea, and hills, and volcanoes, and even rusty Japanese tanks.
For our military it is necessary to create excellent living conditions and living conditions. There should be medical and cultural institutions. Like in Alaska. Was in Anchorage, we have something to compare. Also, tickets should be available to the public, not sky-high prices. Remember, when an engineer’s salary was 120 rubles, a ticket from Leningrad to Moscow cost 13 rubles both by train and by plane. And to Murmansk 15 rubles.

Everything is correct. The Japanese will ask for the islands to be given to them until they see our inaction on them and our indecision in conversations and foreign policy. And when all these factors come together in one fist, asking for more will not turn around.

[serge siberian]

how much more can you wait? couldn’t deal with this topic before? there was not one expedition there. even the frontier post was burned and then all of us left the island. passages. in 84g, a guy who served in the Far East talked about the light in one rock, but only at night, eventually reached the entrance to the rock. and there is a whole city: a hospital with beds, surgical instruments and other property. even the phone was. one person . I used it, I picked up the phone and they didn’t say something in Russian. The next day there was no light, some uncle disconnect switch turned off. And the case was over.
As I understand it, the Yapas can still give light and communication there. Here they want to return to the striped ones, transfer them to "rent". Would write about this enterprise more often, well, very interesting!

[epsilon571]

The development of military infrastructure is certainly a positive development, but what about this:

"... The Arctic region of Russia in 2015 suffered environmental damage in the amount of more than 640 million rubles, and the perpetrators of violations have not been identified. Such data were provided by the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yuri Chaika at a meeting in Salekhard on control and supervision over compliance with environmental legislation in the Arctic zone of Russia, reports TASS.
The majority of environmental crimes could not be solved due to poor supervision, lack of transport infrastructure, interdepartmental disunity and duplication of functions, the prosecutor general said.
The head of the main department for supervision over the execution of federal legislation of the Prosecutor General's Office Anatoly Palamarchuk said that violations are committed during subsoil use and related work, during the use of land and their recultivation, during waste disposal, RIA Novosti notes. According to him, about 15 percent of the Arctic zone is contaminated to a critical level ... "

Probably the environment for military explorers is not the most important thing, they, unlike all of us, live in a completely different dimension, however, like everyone who is close to power. I'm tired of listening to this hurray-chatter, you watch TV everything is good with us, but you look in the "window" - dirt, stagnation and nonsense, the main thing is to report it on time.

Men and women (as well as girls)! Believe the person who lived on Sakhalin for 45 years, and 2 years living in Ukraine. All of these programs in the Kuril Islands, including and the military - cut and embezzlement. How many already arrived and promised and something gave. There, on the Kuril Islands, neither ... (nothing). No good houses, no roads, no life.

And the islands - horseradish japam walrus!

I of these water Buryats was the one and only chance in the 93rd. This is when ebn flew to them. On our island, everyone was sure that during the visit the islands would be surrendered. And, in principle, everyone was deeply ... like the whole country at that time. Judging by the typed recollections, the ebn told his camarilla something like: if I give the islands, then they won’t let me go back to Russia. Allies are probably lying, the whole country was not up to some 4 Kuril islands there.
