The statement of the new Prime Minister of Japan Fumio Kisida on the accessories of the Kuril Islands looks like an ultimative demarche, especially hypocritical against the background of new documents on the crimes of the Japanese military times of World War II. Such an opinion was expressed by one of the leading domestic Japan, Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Russian Military Historical Society (RVIO) Anatoly Koshkin.
He said that he was not surprised by the statement of Kisida, since he was still as part of the Cabinet of the former head of the Japanese government, Sindis Abe, held a tougher position on the territorial requirements for Russia and did not agree with the so-called diplomacy of ABE reconciliation.
“coming now to the post of prime minister, Kisida shows his position and does it, I would say, in a negligent, ultimate form. And this is done a few days after the telephone conversation of our president with Kesida, during which they confirmed the desire for progress In Russian-Japanese relationships, “Skykin explained.
Historic noted the hypocrisy of the deposits of Kisida against the background of the recent announcement of new documents on the crimes of the Japanese military in relation to civilians of the USSR, China, Korea and other countries from 1930 to 1945, which were presented a month ago in Khabarovsk within the framework of the International Scientific Practical forum Khabarovsky “Process: historical importance and modern challenges.” Koshkin noted that in our time it is necessary to remember that Japan is not so white and fluffy, which she wants to imagine “.
“on its conscience dozens of millions of ruined lives of civilians from different countries. In one China from 1931 to 1945, at least 35 million people were killed – children, women, old people,” the historian explained, noting that Japan was still I do not recognize your actions in China, calling them the “incident”, and instead “translating the arrows” including those who freed the peoples enslaved by the Japanese.
Koshkin expressed confidence that Russia should remain committed to the position that the USSR occupied – the position of the categorical failure of any claims of Japan to our lands, but at the same time the active development of economic relations with Tokyo.
October 12, the new Prime Minister of Japan Fumio Kisida in the course of debate in parliament made a statement that the sovereignty of Tokyo spreads to the southern chickens. He called on to solve this issue without leaving it the next generations. “The government is configured to enter into a peace treaty with Russia, resolving the problem of the belonging to these islands,” he said.
