The beginning of the second cold war. After the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, aimed at its denazification and demilitarization, the United States and its allies, as if on command, began to turn away from Russia, impose the most severe economic sanctions on this country in the entire history of the […]

Now in the world it is more alarming than ever. In fact, it is on the verge of a nuclear conflict between the two largest powers.

Pyongyang’s nuclear capability is increasing, but international capacity or interest in dealing with them is limited.

The romantic love story of a Russian prisoner of war and a Japanese nurse served as the plot for the musical Oath on a Coin (Chikai no Koin) by the Japanese Botchan Theater (坊っちゃん劇場, Botchan Theater) from Ehime Prefecture (愛媛県, Ehime-ken). For almost 30 years, every second Saturday of the month, about a hundred students […]

Russia refused to negotiate a peace treaty with Japan. In the context of the fate of the Kuril Islands, this decision is historically justified, well due and just. Obviously, we would never have found any consensus with the Japanese on the island topic. This was understood by both us and them. So the negotiations about […]

The persistent interest in Japan among the Russian people is not very similar to the craving for exotic. About forty years ago, it was still possible to amaze the imagination of my compatriot with bright miracles. But now … Millions of Russians have already traveled to all parts of the world, but interest in Japan […]
