Although Kunashiri and Etorofu both the islands that the visa-less exchange team of the four islands off Hokkaido visited differ in a scale, they make rapid economic growth of Japan consider. Dust which soars in connection with it with dumping which goes back and forth on the road which is not paved. The heavy industrial machine raised the roar everywhere and materials were accumulated on the road side.
A road, a geothermal power plant, an international airport, a port, a hospital, a school, a kindergarten - These are all based on the "Kurile Islands social economy development plan" of the Russia government which supplies an equivalent for 81 billion yen for 8 mosquito years from 2007. The Russian of the four islands off Hokkaido makes backing the large-scale development plan which made oil money the background, and is filled with confidence, and there is no illusion in claiming increasingly "The Northern Territories are a territory in Russia."
It is said that it was said whether Japan to which the administrative body management of Kunashiri points out "territorial problem "which a territorial problem does not exist" toward the Ishizaki mountain member of the House of Representatives of the Liberal Democratic Party which participated in the visa-less exchange visiting party was the mind which also begins the third World War." For them, a movement for the return of the Northern Territories of Japan is recognition that it is "invasion." It is putting the cart before the horse. Mr. Ishizaki turns round saying, "The Russian of the spot was stubborn to the territorial problem, and was the touch which does not change an idea."
This is never an accidental product. It is manifestation of the severe national policy of the Moscow government which still continues from the Soviet Union age.
In the four islands off Hokkaido, the preferential treatment policy which carries out the umbrella raising of wages or the pension has been taken by the resident of a fixed period from the Soviet Union age. An island will be left, if it emigrates to an island like emigration and savings are made. It is not an overstatement even if every resident calls it "a border guard's member" who receives an extra allowance. There were actually some women passing middle age who reveal by saying "I want to return to the hometown of a mainland early" among the residents who met in Etorofu.
However, such "a mainland intention" is changing the prosperity by oil money. Although detailed statistics are not clear, the four islands off Hokkaido say that 2nd Russians [ 3rd ] called a home country are increasing in number steadily. The professor of Tomohide Murai National Defense Academy who joined the visiting party "for them, the Northern Territories are not what was taken but are feeling called a home country. It is indicated that such people resist strongly rather than the 1st Russian to return the Northern Territories."
What does this mean? Mr. Murai continued.
"When the Russians of economy developing from now on and remaining in the Northern Territories increase in number, the cost which must be considered in order to make the Northern Territories into a thing of Japan becomes large rapidly. Therefore, the qualitative improvement in Japan's return movement is called for."
On the other hand, South Korea occupies not only the Northern Territories but Takeshima unlawfully, and Japan is threatened in China or Taiwan to the Senkaku Islands where a territorial problem should not exist. The spirit over the basis of a country called a territory differs from Russia clearly.

Corresponding with the national policy of Russia, vestiges of Japan have disappeared certainly.
Various programs were planned in the exchange visit. Cleaning of a certain Japanese cemetery was carried out by the part in the central city and Shana in Etorofu.
Russians' grave was also intermingled in the cemetery of the slightly elevated hill which overlooks the Sea of Okhotsk, and the grass which is likely to exist as a child's height was growing luxuriantly thickly. Although it emphasizes that the Russian of a spot has the customs of a "visit to a grave" per year once, the trace to which care of people was carried out very much does not have a grave of both Japan and Russia.
Also in the grave which had disappeared with grass in the mowing work by 70 or more persons all members whom the Russian child also joined, in Etorofu, new cheerful inside showed the figure in small 1 hour, fighting with a thicket mosquito. The flower which was in bloom on the outskirts was also attached in the incense stick which the visiting party brought. The Japanese who sleeps underground is neglected by his own grave by no means, and, moreover, will not regard the island itself as being occupied by Russia, either. If it thinks so, the tear will have spread.
There are two Japanese-styled houses built at prewar days in Shana. No, it is more exact to say that it was. It is because it is already a "dilapidated house."
Although it is said before two years that the old Shana post office built in one of them and Showa 5 was maintaining appearance, in this visit, the roof had fallen completely. Invasion of the Soviet Union was told to the mainland by the radio from this post office on August 28, 20. When it looks in, there is no image of those days. Scrap wood was scattered about and garbage, such as a PET bottle, was also dumped easily.
Although it was maintaining appearance somehow, if it goes into inside, the situation of another fishery meeting office (five-year 築) which faced across the road is the same as that of a post office. a floor should fall out and the second floor should remove it from the first floor -- る -- the hole is [ like ] open. The present condition may be called full neglect although it is said that the Russia side promised the measure towards reconstruction of two buildings.

Vestiges of Japan are going to be erased historically. It is a thing at the time of visiting the museum in Shana. As for the museum, it was one room of the stale building of 2 stories which let it pass. The curators of the role of explanation are only "Ainu appeared in Etorofu in the 15th century", and the explanation "Europeans' Etorofu first landing is デ fleece of 1643 and the Dutch", and the reference about subsequent Japan is absolutely none.
Then, it moved from the talk to the talk how the Soviet Union developed the island at a stretch. Even if it sees a showpiece, it is touching with the way of a life of the Ainu race in detail including a stone implement, exhibition of a jewel, etc., but the thing about a life of the Japanese of prewar days is disregarded. One person of the visiting party member which visited this museum to some years ago testifies ", to be sure, there must have been exhibition about Japan before." Intentional Japan is ずしだった.
In Kunashiri, he walked also along the way in Yamanaka that Japanese people cleared at prewar days. Walking [ along the "animal trail" in the grassy place which height is also likely to have ]-according to guidance of Russian who looked out for bear and gained hunting gun about 1 hour. The Sea of Okhotsk and its mountains in Shiretoko which stand with their legs wide apart previously spread before them.
When the cellular phone was seen, the telephone led without the special setup. It is a book one day to the place which a hand is likely to reach. When illegal occupation by the Soviet Union after the end of the war is performed in summer of 20, some Japanese say that it was indistinguishable in the moonless night, 脱島 was planned, and they crossed the raging sea by the hand stroke. There were some persons who are marine alga waste on the way. Among all the about 17,000 residents of the four islands off Hokkaido of those days, since it says that the number of victims is about ten percent, it is a considerable number. Even if the present condition of near and distant Japan will be formed for 63 years, it has not changed at all.
