> 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.

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.

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.

Hopefully soon, otherwise, we might see the realization of

I have always argued that Japan should just militarily take back
all its territories that Russia has stolen. Doing so now as
Russia remains occupied with Ukraine is as good a time as any. A
decisive military victory over Russia (preferably involving as
many Russian deaths as possible) will also help restore Japanese
self-confidence that has been lacking for so long.

Good as time as any to get some war time experience using this
thing too:
"Japan's Acquisition Technology and Logistics Agency (ATLA)
installed and successfully test-fired an electromagnetic railgun
from the maritime test ship JS Asuka. The prototype fires 40mm
hypersonic projectiles at speeds reaching Mach 6 to Mach 7 (over
2,000 m/s), aiming to counter incoming missiles and fast naval
threats."
"A 1.5-inch (40 mm) disc rail gun shell is an unusually large,
non-standard disc-shaped conductive armature designed for custom
or experimental electromagnetic accelerators, differing vastly
from standard military or commercial handheld Gauss/coil rifles
which typically fire small dowel pins or half-inch slugs."
"The disc must be manufactured from a highly conductive,
magnetically responsive metal (such as specific steel or
aluminum alloys) and precisely machined to prevent jamming in
the bore."
"True railguns require sliding or rolling physical contact with
dual parallel conductive rails, making disc geometry prone to
high-speed arcing, yaw, or destabilization upon exit."

History refresher:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Japanese_War
--- Quote ---
> Tsarist Russia, as a major imperial power, had ambitions in
the East. By the 1890s it had extended its realm across Central
Asia to Afghanistan, absorbing local states in the process. The
Russian Empire stretched from Poland in the west to the
Kamchatka Peninsula in the east.[15] With its construction of
the Trans-Siberian Railway to the port of Vladivostok, Russia
hoped to further consolidate its influence and presence in the
region. In the Tsushima incident of 1861 Russia had directly
assaulted Japanese territory.
> ...
> The 1890s and 1900s marked the height of the "Yellow Peril"
propaganda by the German government, and the German Emperor
Wilhelm II (r. 1888–1918) often wrote letters to his
cousin Emperor Nicholas II of Russia, praising him as the
"saviour of the white race" and urging Russia forward in
Asia.[29][30] From November 1894 onward, Wilhelm had been
writing letters praising Nicholas as Europe's defender from the
"Yellow Peril", assuring the Tsar that God Himself had "chosen"
Russia to defend Europe from the alleged Asian threat.[31] On 1
November 1902 Wilhelm wrote to Nicholas that "certain symptoms
in the East seem to show that Japan is becoming a rather
restless customer" and "it is evident to every unbiased mind
that Korea must and will be Russian".[29] Wilhelm ended his
letter with the warning that Japan and China would soon unite
against Europe, writing:
>
> Twenty to thirty million Chinese, supported by a half dozen
Japanese divisions, led by competent, intrepid Japanese
officers, full of hatred for Christianity – that is a vision of
the future that cannot be contemplated without concern, and it
is not impossible. On the contrary, it is the realisation of the
yellow peril, which I described a few years ago and I was
ridiculed by the majority of people for my graphic depiction of
it ... Your devoted friend and cousin, Willy, Admiral of the
Atlantic.[32]
> ...
> A recurring theme of Wilhelm's letters to Nicholas was that
"Holy Russia" had been "chosen" by God to save the "entire white
race" from the "Yellow Peril", and that Russia was "entitled" to
annex all of Korea, Manchuria, and northern China up to
Beijing.[45] Wilhelm went on to assure Nicholas that once Russia
had defeated Japan, this would be a deadly blow to British
diplomacy, and that the two emperors, the self-proclaimed
"Admiral of the Atlantic" and the "Admiral of the Pacific",
would rule Eurasia together
> ...
> ...undertaking the protection and defence of the White Race,
and with it, Christian civilization, against the Yellow Race.
And whatever the Japs are determined to ensure the domination of
the Yellow Race in East Asia, to put themselves at its head and
organise and lead it into battle against the White Race. That is
the kernel of the situation, and therefore there can be very
little doubt about where the sympathies of all half-way
intelligent Europeans should lie. England betrayed Europe's
interests to America in a cowardly and shameful way over the
Panama Canal question, so as to be left in 'peace' by the
Yankees. Will the 'Tsar' likewise betray the interests of the
White Race to the Yellow as to be 'left in peace' and not
embarrass the Hague tribunal too much?.[46]

> The Tsar himself repeatedly delayed negotiations with the
Japanese government as he believed that he was protected by God
and the autocracy.[49] The Japanese understanding of this can be
seen in a telegram from Japanese minister of foreign affairs,
Komura, to the minister to Russia, in which he stated:
>
> ...the Japanese government have at all times during the
progress of the negotiations made it a special point to give
prompt answers to all propositions of the Russian government.
The negotiations have now been pending for no less than four
months, and they have not yet reached a stage where the final
issue can with certainty be predicted. In these circumstances
the Japanese government cannot but regard with grave concern the
situation for which the delays in negotiations are largely
responsible.[50]

go to war against Russia's far larger and seemingly superior
navy and army. Nicholas held the Japanese in contempt as "yellow
monkeys", and he took for granted that the Japanese would simply
yield in the face of Russia's superior power, which thus
explains his unwillingness to compromise.[52] Evidence of
Russia's false sense of security and superiority to Japan is
seen by Russian reference to Japan's choosing war as a big
mistake.[53]

> During the fighting in Manchuria, there were Russian troops
that looted and burned some Chinese villages, **** women and
often killed those who resisted or did not understand what they
wanted.[86] The Russian justification for all this was that
Chinese civilians, being Asian, must have been helping their
fellow Asians (the Japanese) inflict defeat on the Russians, and
therefore deserved to be punished. The Russian troops were
gripped by the fear of the "Yellow Peril", and saw all Asians,
not just the Japanese, as the enemy.[86] All of the Russian
soldiers were much feared by the Chinese population of
Manchuria, but it was the Cossacks whom they feared the most on
the account of their brutality and insatiable desire to loot.
Largely because of the more disciplined behavior of the
Japanese, the Han and Manchu population of Manchuria tended to
be pro-Japanese.[86]

honghuzi, hunghutze, or khunkhuzy to engage in guerrilla warfare
by attacking Russian supply columns.[66] Only once did the
honghuzi attack Japanese forces, and that attack was apparently
motivated by the honghuzi mistaking the Japanese forces for a
Russian one.[88]

appointed "civil governors" who worked to improve health,

also self-interested, as improved roads lessened Japanese
logistics problems while improved health amongst the Chinese
lessened the dangers of diseases infecting the Japanese troops.
By contrast, the Russians made no effort to improve sanitation
or health amongst the Chinese, and destroyed everything when
they retreated.

> Although the war had ended in a victory for Japan, Japanese
public opinion was shocked by the very restrained peace terms
which were negotiated at the war's end.[114] Widespread
discontent spread through the populace upon the announcement of
the treaty terms, causing the Hibiya incendiary incident. Riots
erupted in major cities in Japan following the incident,
including demonstrations in front of the US Legation in Tokyo.
Two specific requirements, expected after such a costly victory,
were especially lacking: territorial gains and monetary
reparations to Japan. The peace accord led to feelings of
distrust, as the Japanese had intended to retain all of Sakhalin
Island but were forced to settle for half of it after being
pressured by the United States, with President Roosevelt opting
to support Nicholas II's stance on not ceding territory or
paying reparations.

having been at war with the Japanese only a decade before, still
considered Westerners the greater threat. As Sun Yat-sen
commented, "We regarded that Russian defeat by Japan as the
defeat of the West by the East. We regarded the Japanese victory
as our own victory".[127] Even in far-off Tibet the war was a
subject of conversation when Sven Hedin visited the Panchen Lama
in February 1907.[128] While for Jawaharlal Nehru, then only an
aspiring politician in British India, "Japan's victory lessened
the feeling of inferiority from which most of us suffered. A
great European power had been defeated, thus Asia could still
defeat Europe as it had done in the past."[129] Within the
