  • Sakhalin's Offshore Oil and Gas Resources Will Give Similar Assurances
    Sakhalin’s Oil: Doing It Right Applying Global Standards to Public Participation, Environmental Monitoring, Oil Spill Prevention & Response and Liability Standards in the Sakhalin Oblast of the Russian Federation by Dan Lawn, Rick Steiner & Jonathan Wills A publication of Sakhalin Environment Watch and the Pacific Environment & Resources Center © Lawn, Steiner & Wills, Valdez, Alaska, November 1999 The tanker “Okha” as FSO " Molikpaq" Drill and Production Platform ii Publishers’ Foreword The Sea of Okhotsk is one of the world’s most biologically productive seas. The people of the Russian Far East harvest rich fisheries stocks of crab, shrimp, pollock and other seafood products in the Sea of Okhotsk. The coastlines of the Sea of Okhotsk still provide spawning grounds for healthy, wild Pacific salmon runs that are in decline in other parts of the North Pacific. The waters near northeastern Sakhalin provide habitat for endangered Okhotsk Gray Whales. Yet new offshore oil developments along the northeastern shore of Sakhalin Island have greatly increased risks to the Sea of Okhotsk and its shorelines through an increased risk of oil spills. On September 28, 1999, the people of Sakhalin received a wake-up call. They learned that oil had spilled from the “Vityaz” Marine Terminal, part of the newly operational Sakhalin-II project. Many questions remain about this spill. A month later, it is still not clear how much oil spilled or whether response measures were effective. The messages, however, are clear: that oil spills are all too possible, and that Sakhalin must take all measures to prevent oil spills and be prepared to respond to them.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps.

  • Japan's Karafuto Governorate (1905–1945): History and Social Memory
    DOI: 10.24411/2658-6789-2019-10011 Japan’s Karafuto Governorate (1905–1945): History and Social Memory S.V. GRISHACHEV Abstract. The history of colonies under the rule of the Japanese Empire in the first half of the 20th century has not been explored well enough so far. For example, the history of Karafuto Governorate (1905–1945), which existed in southern Sakhalin, is covered very little, while some aspects of its history are not known at all. This article focuses on the history of Karafuto Governorate’s formation and its socio-economic structure, namely territorial development after the Russo-Japanese war, its role and status in the colonial system of Japan, the use of the island’s main economic resources and the creation of socio-cultural space, as well as along the memorialization of the colonial past of the Japanese Empire’s northern borders. In addition, this article describes the process of the governorate’s liquidation (it started after the accession of southern Sakhalin to the USSR after the Second World War) followed by passing the governance to the Soviet administration, co-residence of Soviet and Japanese people on the same territory in 1945–1948, the deportation of Japanese people and the fate of the Korean population of the island. The article gives examples of how the memory of the Japanese presence on Sakhalin Island is preserved in Japan and Russia today. Keywords: Karafuto Governorate, colonization, Japanese Empire, Toyohara, the Second World War, social memory. Historical Background From the moment relations between Russia and Japan were established and up to the end of World War II, Sakhalin Island was a territory which the two countries repeatedly divided between themselves.

  • The Institution of Russia's Sakhalin Policy
    Journal of Asian History (2002) 36(1):1-31. ANDREW A. GENTES THE INSTITUTION OF RUSSIA’S SAKHALIN POLICY, FROM 1868 TO 18751 Introduction Cossack explorers discovered the sturgeon-shaped island just beyond the mouth of the Amur River during the seventeenth century. By the beginning of the eighteenth, Russia like the rest of Europe had come to call this island in the North Pacific “Sakhalin”, a name descended from the Manchu word for “black”. Prior to 1875, again in 1904, and ever since World War II the Japanese have considered Sakhalin to be theirs. They call it “Karafuto”. Almost 600 miles long and covering nearly 30000 square miles, Sakhalin is one of the largest islands in the world with temperatures and geologic conditions varying greatly according to region. Its northern half is characterized by taiga and tundra; its southern by rugged mountains and thick forests. The climate is bone-chillingly cold in winter, foggy and damp in summer. In January temperatures average –11° (Fahrenheit) in the north and 21° in the south; in August, 50° in the north and 66° in the south. Natural vegetation in the wind-swept and icy north is limited to grasses and scrub brush; in the slightly more temperate south, where the soil is clayey, there are deciduous, coniferous, and even bamboo forests, with peat bogs near the coast. Throughout the island all types of biting insects “make the warm humid months an ordeal ...”2 In the summer of 1875, after years of jockeying for position in the North Pacific, Russia and Japan signed the Treaty of St.
