       [quote]Sakhalin Oblast was created in February 1946, and by
       March all towns, villages and streets were renamed with Russian
       names.[citation needed] More and more colonists began to arrive
       from mainland Russia, with whom the Japanese were obliged to
       share the limited stock of housing.[citation needed] In October
       1946 the Soviets began to repatriate all remaining
       Japanese.[citation needed] By 1950 most had been sent, willing
       or not, to Hokkaidō, though they had to leave all of their
       possessions behind, including any currency they had, Russian or
       Japanese.
       ...
       In 1951, at the Treaty of San Francisco, Japan was coerced and
       renounced its rights to Sakhalin, but did not formally
       acknowledge Soviet sovereignty over it.[3] Since that time, no
       final peace treaty has been signed between Japan and Russia, and
       the status of the neighboring Kuril Islands remains
       disputed.[/quote]
       When will Japan remember who its real regional enemy is? When
       will "Sakhalin" be renamed Karafuto?

       A good article written by our enemies that can serve as a
       prequel to the previous post:

       [quote]The beginning of the 20th century may be taken as the
       approximate high point of Western world domination, if not
       necessarily of European civilization itself. Whites made up some
       30 percent of the earth’s population and directly or indirectly
       controlled most of its territory; white economic and
       technological dominance were even more complete. American writer
       Lothrop Stoddard describes in colorful language our race’s
       serene confidence at that moment:
       The thought that white expansion could be stayed, much less
       reversed, never entered the head of one white man in a thousand.
       Why should it, since centuries of experience had taught the
       exact contrary? The settlement of America, Australasia, and
       Siberia, where the few colored aborigines vanished like smoke
       before the white advance; the conquest of brown Asia and the
       partition of Africa, where colored millions bowed with only
       sporadic resistance to mere handfuls of whites: both sets of
       phenomena combined to persuade the white man that he was
       invincible, and that the colored types would everywhere give way
       before him and his civilization.
       But in 1905, a surprising turn of events shocked white and
       non-white alike. Japan gained a decisive military victory over a
       sprawling European empire with a population more than three
       times its own: Russia. No one expected such an outcome, yet it
       was to prove a sign of much to come.
       ...
       Prominent Russian industrialists began displaying an ominous
       interest in Korea’s lumber resources. Japan, despairing of
       negotiation, started preparing for war in late 1903.
       The Russians knew this, but did not bother with
       counter-preparations. They had nothing but contempt for the
       Japanese: Tsar Alexander III called them “monkeys who play
       Europeans,” and ordinary Russians joked that they would smother
       the “macaques” with their caps. It was a largely race-based
       overconfidence, and it was to prove fatal.
       ...
       At the beginning of 1905, the Japanese forced the surrender of
       Port Arthur. A more decisive engagement, however, began the
       following month near the town of Mukden (modern Shenyang), some
       240 miles to the north. It was the largest battle since
       Napoleonic times, pitting 330,000 Russians against 270,000
       Japanese over a period of 18 days. The Russians abandoned the
       field after losing 89,000 men. The land war was over.
       But Russia had one more card to play. Its Baltic and Black Sea
       fleets had been ordered to the Far East for the relief of Port
       Arthur: a journey of 18,000 nautical miles via the Indian Ocean.
       Once Port Arthur fell, their mission was redefined as linking up
       with Russia’s pacific fleet at Vladivostok to coordinate a naval
       attack on Japan. The Baltic Fleet never reached Vladivostok,
       however; the Japanese correctly guessed the Russian ships would
       try to pass through the Tsushima Strait between the Japanese
       Islands and Korea, and lay in wait as they approached on May 27,
       1905. The Russian fleet was more heavily armed, but in poor
       condition after its long journey. Japan’s ships, some of which
       had been built in Britain and the United States, were more
       maneuverable. The Japanese won a decisive victory, destroying
       two-thirds of the Russian fleet.
       ...
       The French journalist René Pinon witnessed the arrival of the
       first Russian prisoners of war in Japan — probably regular
       soldiers and not “uncouth” reservists — and describes how
       conscious all his fellow-observers were of the event’s racial
       significance:
       What a triumph, what a revenge for the little Nippons to see
       thus humiliated these big, splendid men who, for them,
       represented not only Russia but those Europeans whom they so
       detest! [NB: Japanese were literally smaller than Europeans at
       the time due to inferior nutrition.] This scene tragic in its
       simplicity, these whites vanquished and captive, defiling before
       those free and triumphant yellows — this was not Russia beaten
       by Japan, not the defeat of one nation by another; it was
       something new, enormous, prodigious; it was the victory of one
       world over another; it was the revenge which effaced the
       centuries of humiliations borne by Asia; it was the awakening
       hope of the Oriental people; it was the first blow given to the
       other race, to that accursed race of the West, which for so many
       years had triumphed without even having to struggle. And the
       Japanese crowd felt all this, and the few other Asiatics who
       found themselves there shared in this triumph. The humiliation
       of these whites was solemn, frightful. I completely forgot that
       these captives were Russians, and I would add that the other
       Europeans there, though anti-Russian, also were forced to feel
       that these captives were their own kind.
       ...
       Russia agreed to evacuate Manchuria, recognize Japanese
       interests in Korea, and cede the southern half of Sakhalin
       Island; Japan agreed to seek no financial indemnity from Russia.
       ...
       Appreciation of the Russo-Japanese War’s racial significance was
       not limited to the actual combatants. Lothrop Stoddard writes
       that the war inspired “an understanding between Asiatic and
       African races and creeds . . . a ‘Pan-Colored’ alliance against
       white domination.” He wrote that Japan’s victory “produced
       intensely exciting effects all over the Dark Continent [and]
       sent a feverish tremor throughout Islam.”
       Chinese statesman Sun Yat-sen was sailing through the Suez Canal
       in 1905 when the news of Japan’s victory broke. The locals,
       mistaking him for a Japanese, enthusiastically congratulated him
       on his people’s great victory, calling it a triumph for all
       colored people. Muslim leaders called for political alliances
       and commercial relations with the Japanese — even for the
       reorganization of Oriental armies under Japanese direction. A
       few dreamed of converting them to Islam.[/quote]
       This is why Western civilization had to hit Japan so hard in
       WWII. Western civilization was symbolically punishing not just
       Japan, but the entire "non-white" world.

       "When will Japan remember who its real regional enemy is? When
       will "Sakhalin" be renamed Karafuto?"
       Hopefully soon, otherwise, we might see the realization of
       Dugin's "Moscow-Tokyo axis".
