It is possible that Popov's people even planted on Schisha.
- The first Europeans who visited the islands of the Kuril ridge were the Dutch. Found on February 3, 1643 from Batavia in the direction of Japan, two ships "Kastrikam" and "Bressness" under the general team of Martin de Frise on June 13 approached the small Kuril Ridge.

Itupuru, the largest of the islands of the southern smoked, who became our 70 years ago. With the Japanese, tens of thousands of people lived here, life was boiling in the villages and in the markets, there was a major military base from where the Japanese squadron left the Pearl Harbor. What did we have built our own years here? Recently, here is the airport. There is also a couple of shops and hotels. And in the main settlement - the city of Kurilsk with a population of a little more than one and a half thousand people - laid out an amid attraction: a couple of hundred meters (!) Asphalt. But in the store the seller warns the buyer: "The product is almost overdue. Do you take? " And hears in response: "Yes, I know. Of course I take. " And how not to take if your food (with the exception of fish and the fact that the garden gives) there is no sufficient, and the court in the coming days will not be more precisely, it is not known when it is. Live people love to repeat: we have 3 thousand people here and 8 thousand bears. There are more people more, of course, if you count more military and border guards, and no one considered bears - maybe they are more. From the south to the north of the island, it is necessary to get along the harsh dirty road through the pass, where the hungry foxes are guard each car, and roadside burdocks are the size of a person, they can be hidden. Beauty, of course: volcanoes, dell, sources. But it is safe to ride on the local soil traps only during the day and when
There is no fog. And in rare settlements on the streets is empty after nine in the evening - a curfew in fact. A simple question - why did the Japanese lived here, and we only have to evicted? - Most inhabitants simply do not arise. We live - the land we wake.("Watch sovereignty". "Ogonos" №25 (5423), June 27, 2016)

Once some major Soviet leader asked: "Why don't you give Japan with these islands. She has such a small territory, and you have so big? - Because big that you do not give "- answered the figure

A series of Far Eastern Island territories shows the Kuril Islands, they have one side, it is the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the other about. Hokkaido in. The Kuril Islands of Russia are represented by the Sakhalin region, stretching in length about 1,200 km with an existing area of \u200b\u200b15,600 square kilometers.

The islands of Kuril Ridge are represented by two groups that are against each other - the large and small. A large group staying in the south, owned Kunashir, ITUURUP and others, in the center - Simushir, Keta and in the north are the remaining island territories.

Small smokers are shacking, haboma and a number of others. Mostly all the island territories of the mountains and go high by 2,339 meters. The Kuril Islands on their lands have about 40 volcanic sobs that have been operating so far. Also here is the location of sources with hot mineral water. South Kuril is covered with forest plantings, and the north attracts unique tundra vegetation.

The problem of the Kuril Islands was concluded in a unresolved controversial issue between the Japanese and Russian parties about who they belong. And it remains open since the time of the Second World War.

The Kuril Islands after the war began to belong to the USSR. But Japan considers the territories of southern smoked, and this is ITUURUP, Kunashir, Shikotan with a group of Habmioma Islands, its territory, without having a legal foundation. Russia does not recognize the fact of the dispute with the Japanese side about these territories, since their affiliation is legal.

The problem of the Kuril Islands is the main obstacle to the peaceful settlement of relations between Japan and Russia.

The essence of the dispute of Japan and Russia

The Japanese demand to return them the Kuril Islands. There, almost the entire population is convinced that these lands are angular Japanese. This dispute between the two states has long been long ago, exacerbated after the Second World War.
Russia is not inclined to give up to the Japanese leaders of the state. The peace agreement to this day is not signed, and it is due to four controversial South Kuril Islands. On the legality of the claims of Japan into the Kuril Islands in this video.

Values \u200b\u200bof southern smoking

Southern chickens have several values \u200b\u200bfor both countries:

1. Military. The southern chickens have military importance, thanks to the only way out in the Pacific Ocean for the Fleet of the country. And all because of the scarce of geographical formations. At the moment, the ships go into the ocean waters through the Sangar Strait, because through the strait of the lapere not pass due to icing. Therefore, submarines are located on Kamchatka - Avachinskaya bay. Military bases currently operating in Soviet times were plundered and left.
2. Economic. Economic importance - in the Sakhalin region a rather serious hydrocarbon potential. And the access to Russia of the entire territory is smoked, allows the use of water there at their discretion. Although its central part belongs to the Japanese side. In addition to water resources, there is such a rare metal as rhenium. His mining, the Russian Federation is in third place for mining minerals and sulfur. For the Japanese, this territory is important for fishing and agricultural needs. This catchy fish is used by the Japanese to grow rice - they simply pour it into the fields with rice for fertilizer.
3. Social. By and large, there is no special social interest for ordinary people on southern smoke. All because there are no modern megalopolises, people mainly work there and their life takes place in the cabins. The supply is delivered by air, and less often water due to constant storms. Therefore, the Kuril Islands are more a military-industrial facility than social.
4. Tourist. In this regard, it is better in the southern smokers. These places will be interested in many people who attract all the present, natural and extreme. It is unlikely that someone will remain indifferent at the sight of a thermal source driving out of the ground, or from lifting to the Calder of the Volcano, and crossing the fumarol field on foot. And about the look-up types and say nothing.

For this reason, the dispute on the belonging of the Kuril Islands does not move from the dead point.

Dispute about Kuril territory

Who owns these four island territories - Shikotan, ITUURUP, Kunashir and the Islands of Habmioma, the question is not from the lungs.

Information of written sources indicates the discoverers of Kuril - Dutch. The Russian first was settled by the territory of Tisima. Shikotan Island and the remaining three are marked for the first time by the Japanese. But after all, the discovery does not give the basis for the possession of this territory.

The edge of the world is the island of Shikotan because of the Cape Malokurilian village nearby. He is impressive with his 40-meter cliff into ocean waters. It is called this place the edge of the world due to the opening stunning view of the Pacific vastness.
Shikotan Island is translated as a big city. It stretches by 27 kilometers, in width, it has 13 km, which occupied area is 225 square meters. km. The highest point of the island is the Mountain of the same name, towering at 412 meters. Partially its territory belongs to the State Natural Reserve.

Shikotan Island has a very rugged coastline with multiple bays, capes and rocks.

Previously, they thought that the mountains on the island, these were no longer erupting volcanoes, which the Kuril Islands are replete. But they turned out to be rocks, displaced lithospheric slabs shifts.

A bit of history

Long before the Russians and the Japanese, the Kuril Islands inhabited Aina. The first information from Russians and the Japanese about Kurilah appeared only in the 17th century. The Russian expedition was directed in the 18th century, after which about 9,000 Ainov became citizens of Russia.

A treatise (1855) was signed between Russia and Japan, called Simodist, where the boundaries were established, allowing Japanese citizens to trade on 2/3 of this land. A draw of the territory remained Sakhalin. After 20 years, Russia began to hold this land unprisoned, then losing the south in the Russian-Japanese war. But during the WWI, the Soviet troops were still able to return to themselves the south of Sakhalin Earth and the Kuril Islands in general.
There was still a signing of a peace agreement between states who won the victory and Japan and it happened in San Francisco in 1951. And on him, Japan has absolutely no right to the Kuril Islands.

But then the Soviet side of the signing did not occur that many researchers were considered a mistake. But there were serious reasons for:

• In the document was not designated specifically, which was included in Kuriles. The Americans stated that they need to go to a special international court. Plus, a member of the Japanese state delegation announced that the southern controversial islands were not the territory of Kuril.
• The document also did not point exactly who will belong to Kuriles. That is, so the question at the same time remained controversial.

Between the USSR and the Japanese side in 1956, the declaration was signed by the platform before the main peace agreement. In it, the country of tips goes towards the Japanese and agrees to convey to them only two disputed Islands of Habomai and Shikotan. But with the condition - only after signing a peace agreement.

The declaration contains several subtleties:

• The word "convey" means that they belong to the USSR.
• This transmission will be actually made after the signature will be raised in the world contract.
• This applies only to the two islands smoked.

It was a positive shift between the Soviet Union and the Japanese side, but thereby caused the alarm of Americans. Thanks to Washington pressure, in the Japanese government, ministerial chairs have completely changed and new officials have become preparing for high positions began to prepare the Military Agreement of America and Japan, which began to act in 1960.

After that, from Japan, a call came to give no two offered to the USSR of the island, but four. America presses that all contracts between the country and Japan are not necessary, they allegedly declarative. And the existing and existing military agreement between the Japanese and Americans implies the placement on the Japanese territory of its troops. Accordingly, now they approached Russian territory even closer.

Based on all this, Russian diplomats stated that until all foreign troops were displayed from its territory, it is impossible to even talk about a peaceful agreement. But in any case, we are talking only about the two islands of the territory of Kuril.

As a result, the strengths of America are still located in Japan. The Japanese insist on the transfer of the 4th Kuril Islands, as written in the declaration.

The second half of the 80s of the 20th century is marked by the weakening of the Soviet Union and under these conditions the Japanese side raises this topic again. But the dispute about who will belong to the South Kuril Islands, and remained open countries. In the Tokyo Declaration of 1993, it was said that the Russian Federation is the successor of the Soviet Union, respectively, and previously signed papers should be recognized by both parties. It also indicated the direction to move towards the solution of the territorial affiliation of the controversial four islands of Kuril.

The coming 21st century, and specifically 2004, was marked by a raising this topic again at the meeting of President of the Russian Federation Putin with the Prime Minister of Japan. And again everything happened - the Russian side offers its conditions for signing the peace agreement, and Japanese officials insist that all four South Kuril Islands are submitted to their disposal.

2005 was marked by the readiness of the Russian president to finish the dispute, guided by the 1956 Agreement and transfer two island territories Japan, but the Japanese managers did not agree with this proposal.

In order to somehow reduce the tension between the two states, the Japanese side was invited to help in the development of nuclear energy, the development of infrastructure and tourism, still improving the environmental and situation, as well as safety. The Russian side adopted this proposal.

At the moment, there is no question for Russia - who own the Kuril Islands. Without any doubt, it is the territory of the Russian Federation, based on real facts - according to the results of the Second World War and the generally accepted UN Charter.

Question about Kuril Islands Several decades interferes with cooperationRussia and Japan at all levels. Recently, bilateral meetings at the highest level began to occur with a noticeable regularity. After Singapore agreements the topic of transferJapan The two islands of the Kuril Ridge began to openly sound as a condition for signing a peace treaty between our countries.

For the Russian side, the loss of two islands on Kurillait may become the board that will have to pay in the hope of further strategic cooperation. Russian government hopes that a stable western partner, having received the desired territory, will become an assistant in the international arena.

In the current situation, the main thing is now one - Understand how much such a concession is beneficial. The latest sociological surveys show that, after the loud return of the Crimea, the Russians begin to look at these territorial interstate disputes are increasingly indifferent.

According to the "Levada Center", the share of Russian citizens who support the transfer of the islands to the Japanese over the past seven years has grown sharply on 10%. If in 2011 to sacrifice the two islands for strategic goals was ready only 4% respondents, now support this idea ready 17% interviewed. This is evidenced by the survey data conducted at the end of November in 52 Russian regions.

Moreover, among the respondents dominate the share of those who heard something about this Japanese ultimatum, but especially in the problem did not understand. This is 49% of all respondents, as well as 31% of the survey participants for the first time heard about the possibility of transferring two Russian islands of Kuril Rud.

At all Japanclaims not two, but at once four islands of the ridge - Kunashir, Shikotan, ITUP and Hamobai. The transfer of half of this disputed territory is now spoken now because of the conditions of the Soviet-Japanese Declaration of 1956, in which the islands Shikotan and Habomaimust be transferred Japan. Despite the fact that the last name is used only in Japanese cartography, journalists actively picked up in recent days it is this Japanese version of the name of the group of the islands of the Small Kuril Ridge, which includes and Shikotan.

At the moment, all these controversial islands are part of Sakhalin regionAccording to administrative and territorial division. If with the two islands, which, by condition, a joint declaration USSR and Japan must be transferred under the conditions of the final signing of the peace treaty somehow understandable, then the rest Kunashir and ITUP Corrected by the Japanese as part of the subpropecture Namuro. Prefectures Hokkaido. And special desire to protect this territory from the Russian authorities not visible. Therefore, after the transfer of the two islands, the question of the contested land can also be resolved in the future not in favor Russia.

While the Russian public diligently closes his eyes to the obvious process of returning the territory, the Japanese opposite try to get the most positive effect from the current situation.

On Saturday, December 1, in the center Tokyo The rally of the former residents of the southern Kuril Islands for their return Japan. According to NHK public television, about 500 people took part in the march. Moreover, the protesters supported the Japanese Minister for Okinawa and Northern Territories Mitsukhiro Miyakosiwho insisted on solving the issue at once in four islands. In this case, the peace treaty between our countries will be finally signed.

In parallel with each other's hands Prime Minister Japan Sindiso Abe and president Russia Vladimir Putinat Buenos Aires In the fields of the summit "Big Twenty". The Japanese leader crumbled in applications for expanding further cooperation in all areas and the conclusion of Russian-Japanese relations to a new level. By passing the Japanese policies mentioned about the conditions of a peace treaty, where the question of the transfer of the islands is the main condition.

The Japanese clung to this territory literally teeth. In the last days of November, Nikkey's publication conducted a survey among the local population, according to which 0% of the Japanese recognized the Kuril Islands by Russian. Satisfied with the transfer of two islands only 5% of the Japanese. The rest of the respondents is divided into those who want to get four islands at once, and who agreed to install. Moreover, its electorate Sindiso Abe Promises the return of "northern territories" during the lifetime of this generation.

The attitude of our part is obviously a compromise. Because it is not clear why we have been ready to spend such efforts to spend the return of the Crimean Peninsula, but are ready to sacrifice the Kuril Islands. We can say that by giving this territory, we will get more benefits, getting a strong ally to our side. Just that's not everyone knows that Japan Maundated a significant part of the golden stock of the Russian Empire.

According to Otia, compiled by the Minister of Finance V.I. Moravian Vladivostok, in the country of the rising Sun, the royal government and all sorts of "Atamans" transferred huge amounts of money: 10 million gold rubles, 170 thousand US dollars, 25 thousand pounds sterling, 424 thousand gold francs, 450 thousand Mexican dollars.

Japanese "Bank of Tokyo" and "Ekoham Syukin Ginko" received on the "temporary storage" of 22 drawers with gold coins belonging to the Russian treasury. Total B. Japan. The efforts of the "White" irrevocably left about 200 tons of Russian gold. At the same time, the State Bank of Russia remains the head of the Gold Deposit and on the first requirement may return it from Osaka in Vladivostok., Paying only 6% of the costs for reverse transfer. But will this money be derived or for them will forget after the transmission of the islands and signing a peace treaty?It is hard to believe that the Central Bank after all of this strategic concession will suddenly decide to return gold back to Russia.

Ksenia Shiryaev

08:57 - REGNUM The inhabitants of the Kuril Islands cause the perplexity and indignation of the "advice" of some residents of the Central Strip of Russia about the surrender of Japan. They advise rejoice and give up. Arguments - "You will be better there." Kurilica in response to advise first to give the Germans to the Germans - according to the same grounds, the correspondent reports IA REGNUM..

Oksana Riznich

Director of the Kuril Local Lore Museum, Writer and Artist Oksana Riznich, Posted on its page to Facebook very emotional, complete indignation appeal to all sorts of "advisors."

"" SUPPLIES "from Moscow, Tver and even Kiev strongly recommend Kurillas to rejoice, pass the smoke of Japan and live happily. The argument is one: "There's better." There are other opinions of those who have never been on Kurilla and in general - in the Far East. They also never visited Japan. Their argument: "Let him take, I still never ate crabs."

The country discusses why Russia should not lose smokers. Seriously. The arguments are collected. Write comments:

"Let them give, the local residents with the Japanese will be better."

"Let them give, I still never eaten Kamchatka crab."

"Let them give, because we still will not get anything."

Except to devour and fill their own pocket, idiots have no more aspirations in life. Russia should not lose smoking because they are just - they have Russia. Everything! And when I read all this nonsense, I want to start talking just as Idiots reason:

"Do we need Moscow? Think yourself? Need? What for? Ten arguments, please list. Let's give? Japanese, Chinese, Germans - and what during the Second World War did not give? Muscovites will definitely be better under the Germans - the order will be. Who else needs a piece of Russian territory? Khabarovsk will be well with the Chinese. Residents of Karelia will be very good with Finns. Kievans, too, a Kuril's topic with enthusiasm is discussed. Well, this is good for a long time. Well, you do not need our chickens - sit quietly in our cities, eat sprat in tomato and do not go! IS, the islands they distribute! Landowners damn! " - wrote Oksana Ricnich.

Correspondent IA REGNUM.it was possible to call Oksana Riznich, despite the fact that no everywhere on the islands works well the cellular communication.

: "How are the inhabitants of ITUPUP? What do they say about the transfer smoked Japan? ".

"But we will ask them now. Hey, drain, how do you feel about the transfer of Japan's smoke? " - she called passersby.

"Do not treat. This is nothing to do, and we have work. How can we treat? Negative, of course. " , - answered passersby.

"You see now? Here the people are busy, working, it is nonsense to discuss once. No one believes in this opportunity. Because so calm. And how can you believe in this? Here, the other day my grandmother says to me, they say, they built the hospital. And immediately asks - Surely directly with the hospital Japanese and give away? Do not give out, I say. She immediately calmed down - he says, well, well, and then you are "frozen" - Oksana laughs.

"I don't understand one thing: where did all these commentators come from? The impression that was sitting for many years and just thought, as if our Kuril life would improve by transferring us to the Japanese. No, well, what?! And after all, the majority - neither the ear, nor Sonya in what chickens are. And the chickens are our land. Our. What can there be conversations about the transfer of their Japan? How many years is that Japan owned by smoke? Unhappy 90 years? Of these, 40 years old, she did something here. Here people live. Live! The state border is decorated and recognized by all countries. Well, except Japan. Well, so hell with her! The Japanese visas are issued when they come here? So, also recognize. Why should we discuss it at all?! " She is indignant.

Not the first year between smoke and Japanese Hokkaido there are visa-free exchanges. The inhabitants of Kuril ride Japan, the Japanese on the smokers. People are ordinary people - communicate with each other. And perfectly know the price of conversations of different politicians about how "the whole Japanese nation takes over the unresolved Kuril question."

"Yes, the Japanese mostly do not know what it is - this is all this problem! Japanese businessmen - those yes, flaw. But not about belonging to the belongings, but about the fact that their government does not give them money! They would gladly be a business in Kurilla - on Russian smoking! And Mr. Japanese prime Sindiso Abe In general, it seems that I decided to replace the real work for the benefit of Japan and the Japanese struggle to solve the problem of the contrived. Let Won go hokkaido develops! It seems from Moscow that there, on Hokkaido, Paradise. And there for a long time - not paradise. There, noomers and collapsed buildings are hardly as much as on smoking. The fishing business is actually buried, the children of fishermen leave the native house in Tokyo, because they do not see the prospects for Hokkaido. That's where to attach your energy to Mr. Abe! And then I have the impression that we, Kurilica, know about the problems of Hokkaido more than the Japanese Prime Minister. Let Mr. Abe go and deals with the development of his country - he has a bad edge there. And the Japanese, I am sure they will appreciate it much more than the contrived problem of the Northern Territories. Because this "problem" is not a problem at all. These are Abe's personal ambitions - and no more. And when I tell me, "the Japanese insist on the transfer of smoking", I'm just ridiculous. Simple Japanese, ordinary people, not at all, they want from their power. And in this we, the Russians, are very similar to the Japanese - we, too, like they, we want from our real work politicians, and not invented by them "problems" - Oksana Riznich is convinced.
