Iaponskii kozyr' Stalina - Koshkin Anatolii Arkad'evich

In this book you will find exhaustive answers to questions and accusations related to the victory of the USSR over Japan. Is it true that Stalin in August 1945 insidiously broke the contract with the neighbor? Did Japan really intend to respect the net neutrality pact? What forces turned the vector of Japanese aggression from the northern direction to the south and what was known about it in the Kremlin? Finally, what did the USSR's obligations to the Allies mean for the post-war world order?
The book convincingly explains why subsequent flirtations with Japan and promises of territorial concessions invariably ended in political failure.
