Russian historians say that Russian President Vladimir Putin's landing on the disputed islands between Russia and Japan sent a clear signal to the Japanese government that Japan should no longer have unrealistic sovereignty claims over this territory. This is also a direct and strong response to Japan's unfriendly policy towards Russia. Yuri Pikarov, Professor of History at the Russian Pacific State University: In August 1945, World War II ended in Asia with the collapse of Japanese militarism. The Soviet Union acquired sovereignty over the South Kuril Islands in accordance with international treaties. Thus, it is perfectly legal for Russian President Vladimir Putin to inspect his country's territory. At the same time, he also used this to make the Japanese leadership understand that this is an unfriendly policy towards Russia being promoted by Japan. Including joining various coalition groups and participating in response to Russian sanctions, President Putin used this to show that the South Kuril Islands are Russian islands, and Russia will not hand over any of these islands to Japan. Japan can give up its heart and stop claiming sovereignty over these territories.
