  • How to Deal with Russia （Cultural Internationalism Rather Than Territorial Dispute）
    How To Deal With Russia （Cultural Internationalism Rather Than Territorial Dispute） Hideaki Kinoshita Introduction Considering relations with Russia, it appears to be imperative among the Japanese people to raise the question of the Northern Territories, which comprises the islands of Habomai, Shikotan, Kunashiri and Etorofu. It is because the issue is perceived by the Japanese people as the apparent act of unprovoked aggression initiated during the final stages of World War II by Russian’s illegal and perfidious attack on the Chishima Islands with a sudden shift from relations of friendship to enmity. Japan was actually courting the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics（USSR） to perform as an intermediary for the armistice with the Allied Forces. Russian’s sudden attack unilaterally abrogating the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact concluded in April, 1941 was baffling for the Japanese government, and aroused the impression to the Japanese that they were duped to the committing to the agreement. The agreement specified mutual respect of territorial integrity and inviolability as well as neutrality should one of the contracting parties become the object of hostilities of any third party（Slavinsky 1996: 129）. The Soviet attack no doubt was executed within the validity period of the pact and after the Japanese notification of accepting the Potsdam Declaration on August 15, 1945, and even continued after concluding the armistice on the Battleship Missouri on September 2, 1945（Iokibe, Hatano 2015: 311）. The concept, advocated by the government, of “inherent” Japanese Northern Territories helped foment the idea of the so called “residual” legal rights to the four islands in the Japanese public psyche.

  • The Millipedes (Diplopoda) of the Russian Far East Islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula
    SOIL ORGANISMS Volume 81 (3) 2009 pp. 599–616 ISSN: 1864 - 6417 The millipedes (Diplopoda) of the Russian Far East islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula Elena V. Mikhaljova Institute of Biology and Soil Science, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Prospekt 100-letiya Vladivostoka 159, Vladivostok 690022, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A review of the millipede fauna of the islands of the Russian Far East and Kamchatka Peninsula is presented, with 36 species involved, all arranged in a catalogue-like manner. A brief historical account, data on the distribution, a comparative analysis of the island diplopod faunas, and zoogeographical notes are given. Keywords: Myriapoda, fauna, distribution, islands, Russia 1. Introduction The Russian Far East includes archipelagos and islands off the western coast of the northern Pacific and the islands off the Chukotka at the border between the East Siberian and Chuckchee seas (see Map 1). The most known among them are the islands of the Primorsky Province in the Sea of Japan, Sakhalin Island, the Kurile Islands, the Wrangel, the Commander, Shantarskie islands and Karaginsky Island. Knowledge of the millipede fauna of the islands of the Russian Far East is still incomplete. Some of the islands of the East Siberian and Bering seas, the Sea of Okhotsk have hitherto remained unexplored. However, it is possible to surmise that these islands are devoid of diplopods or that their millipede fauna is extremely poor. The Wrangel Island seems to be totally devoid of Diplopoda; at least, large long-term (within 12 years) materials on Wrangel invertebrates contain neither millipedes nor centipedes (Khruleva 1987, Stishov 2006).

Preliminary translation by W. E. Ricker Distributed by the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, Biological Station, Nanaimo, B. C. 1958 -2- Throughout the whole basin of the Amur, pink salmon since long ago have been numerous in the even years, and as a rule tUey are very scarce in the odd years, which is the time of the abundant runs of gorbusha in the rivers of the Strait of Tartary. [page 1682] Up to very recent years the general abundance of the Amur gorbusha was considerabry greater than that of gorbusha in the Sea of Japan, but only in the even-numbered years; in odd years considerably fewer gorbusha were taken in the Amur estuary than on the two sides of the Strait of Tartary. For example, from 1946 to 1948 (a period having an average level of stock of Amur gorbusha) the gorbusha taken in the Amur estuary were 63,000 centners more than in the Maritime Province and on the western coast of southern Sakhalin. But by individual years the situation was thisg in 1946 and 1948 the catch of gorbusha in the Amur estuary was 2.5 and 4 times greater, respectively, than in the Gulf of Tartary, but in 1947 it was 8 times less.
