At Yeltsin Japanese propaganda materials with claims to Kuriles were made in printing house of Administrative Department of the President of the Russian Federation

In Russian there is an expression "to ungirdle". Figuratively it, according to explanatory dictionaries, means "to become dismissed, to lose any restraint. E.g. — the impudent fellow ungirdled". Even it is awkward that sometimes it is necessary to apply similar expression concerning diplomats of the solid state, dear member of the international community. But how differently it is possible to characterize distribution by official Japanese delegation headed by the consul general in Vladivostok Tatsukhiko's Province of Kasai to citizens of our country of brochures in Russian in which rough claims not only on the Southern Kuril islands, but also to all Kuriles to Kamchatka territory and the southern half of the Russian island Sakhalin region move forward? On the cards placed in such brochures Sakhalin region the islands of Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan and a ridge of Khabomai are painted in color Japan as belonging to it, and other Kuriles and the southern half Sakhalin region are left not painted over as territories with allegedly uncertain state accessory. Thus it is well known that under invented in the 60th years of last century the term "northern territories" to Japan all Kuril ridge and Karafuto (Southern Sakhalin region) "broad" are understood.
according to Sakhalin Media news agency, Representation ministry foreign affairs Russia in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky sent to the consul general Japan in Vladivostok a note of protest in connection with distribution on Kamchatka territory materials on which the Kuril Islands are designated as Japanese. The representative reported Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Evgeny Vereshchaga . According to the representative, during the period from March 22 to March 24 on Kamchatka territory with official visit there was a Japanese delegation headed by the consul of this country in Vladivostok Tatsukhiko Province of Kasai. Visit of delegation took place within carrying out "the 51st film festival of Japanese movies" in Kamchatka territory.
"At them some meetings, including with officials of the region took place. At our meeting personally the magazine in which the territory Russian Federation, in particular islands of the Kuril ridge were designated as Japanese" was handed over to me — Vereshchaga Eugenie told. According to him, the note of protest was immediately sent to the consul. "We expressed opinion that similar actions are inadmissible that islands of the Kuril ridge are an integral part Russian Federation, and their status is not subject to doubt. Asked from now on similar materials not to extend to territories Kamchatka territory" — added Vereshchaga Eugenie.
"The Japanese delegation stayed on Kamchatka territory some days, having carried out during this time a set of meetings with officials and businessmen. Everywhere they distributed the booklets and magazines on which on the card the Kuril Islands were marked as Japanese. Similar publications were transferred by Japanese and to representatives of border management" — reported Sakhalin Media.
Try to undertake Japanese diplomats similar in Soviet period — reaction would be immediate up to dispatch as of the persona non grata . However to "democratic" Russian Federation of similar "pranks" made light. In any case, not so long ago, even Japan secretly encouraged cartographical aggression, probably, thus accustoming Russians to thought of "inevitability of loss of Kuriles". Not to be suspected of prooflessness of statements, I will give some facts.
In times "Yeltsin kozyrevskogo the Ministry of Foreign Affairs" Japanese diplomats, having felt weakness of the country leaders of stay and its aspiration for the sake of financial support to make serious territorial concessions, began to process openly the population of our country to achieve its consent with a capitulatory course of the Kremlin. Ministry of foreign affairs of Japan big circulations published, and Japanese Embassy and consulates to Russian Federation widely distributed colourful brochures in Russian "Northern territories Japan" in which, in particular, it was approved: "on August 9, 1945, three days later the ambassador of nuclear bombing Hiroshima and on the same day nuclear bombing Nagasaki, Soviet Union in defiance of the Pact about a neutrality, entered war against Japan …" Explaining the disagreement with the Yalta agreement under which and all Kuril Islands passed Southern Sakhalin region, authors of the brochure, obviously sinning against logic, declared, what "Japan who was not a participant in the Yalta agreement (As Japan could be in the years of war by the participant of conference of the countries allies? ! Absurdity! — A.K.) neither legally, nor politically by it it is not connected". And therefore actions of Soviet Union should be called "attack, illegal capture of the Japanese territory". For whom it is necessary to take our people to try to force it to put everything upside down — to rehabilitate an aggressor and to brand the winner — the liberator of the people from a Japanese yoke?
In the mid-nineties to Russian Federation the book of one of the main Japanese fighters for "northern territories" — professor of Hokkaydsky university Hirosi Kimur "A Kuril problem freely extended. History of the Japanese-Russian negotiations on boundary questions". Accusing the USSR in all sins and calling to immediate to "return of Japanese territories" the book, probably, did not find the publisher in our country and was printed for Japanese money in Russian in Kiev. So Russophobic moods grew ripe on "Nezalezhna" long ago.
