Russian-Japanese relations after World War II
The diploma thesis is devoted to Russian-Japanese relations throughout their duration with emphasis on the period after World War II and the issue of the Kuril Islands. Both countries underwent major changes in the twentieth century. Japan, an aggressive and militaristic state in the 1930s, gained vast territory after World War II. After the defeat in 1945, it was occupied by the occupying troops, which took all power. In the second half of the twentieth century, it benefited from a strategically advantageous position in Asia and from the position of a major US ally in the bipolar world. It developed rapidly economically and in the 1960s became one of the strongest economies in the world. However, to a certain extent, it still bears the stigma of a war-torn state responsible for war, which prevents it from balancing its political influence on the economic level.
