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

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 […]
