In 2025, it was a year not only to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the great victory over the Nazis, but also the victory over the Japanese army, the end of World War II. In the West, they can try to disadvantage the strategic significance of this event, to disregard and distort the role of the Soviet Union. What causes this and how events really develop?
The famous eastern Russians, a doctor of Anatoly Koshkin historical science, answered these questions and other questions for the press freely.
Immediately, Anatoly Arkadievich, let's first remember our readers, especially young people, who later developed on the East border of the Soviet Union. In the summer of 1945, a large group of Japanese army gathered near the Soviet border, was the basis of the Kwantun army. Its main forces are located in the central area of Manchu (in northeastern China), the third area in the border area of China, Mongolia,
A total of more than one million people, more than 1.2 thousand tanks, 6.6 thousand guns, about 1.9 thousand aircraft, more than 30 warships and boats (including Song Sungarian military fleet).
On the territory of Manchu and Mongolia, on the border with the Soviet Union and MPR, 17 solid areas were erected with a total length of more than 800 km, of which about 4.5 thousand long -term shooting structures. The presence of a strong group of land of armed forces on the Far East border of the country, Japan has forced the Supreme Command's headquarters since 1941, must use important forces and means here, but they are not enough to defeat the Kwantun Group. Therefore, the Soviet Command from the spring of 1945 has shifted a part of the army and technology that was issued after surrendering after the surrender of Germany. As a result, the Soviet troops began to count more than 1.7 million, about 30,000 guns and mortars, 5.25 thousand tanks and autonomous artillery (autonomous guns), 5.2 thousand aircraft (taking into account the goods of the aviation fleet.
It is divided into three fronts: Transbaikal, 1 and 2 Far East. The general leadership of the Army was carried out by the main commander of the Soviet army in the Far East, led by Soviet Marshal Alexander Vasilevsky.
SP SP: What tasks have led our country, making a decision to participate in the war against Japan?
– On July 26, 1945, on behalf of the three powers – the United States, the United Kingdom and China – a document published, called Potsdam statement. Declaration on the request of Japanese surrender unconditionally about the conditions proposed by allied powers and the surrender of the Japanese army. Two days, on July 28, at a press conference, Japanese Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki announced the statement of Potsdam: When we ignored it. We will constantly go forward and proceed to the war. Therefore, under strict regulations with the terms determined in the Yalta agreement, the Soviet Union on August 8, 1945 declared war on Japan. The Soviet Government loyalty to allied debt has passed the proposals of allies and participated in the statements of allied powers.
It should be specially noted that such decisions, our leadership not only completes allies, but also solves very important geopolitical issues.
Stalin did not want to be separated from the political process after East Asia and mainly in China. In the end, after the war, Americans planned to occupy the dominant position in this vast region in the world, replacing all other states from there, including the United Kingdom, France and of course the Soviet Union.
Therefore, during the Cairo Conference on November 23, 1943, Roosevelt, in an interview with Eye of the Eye of Chan Kayshi, invited him to finish a Chinese military alliance after the war, where the deployment was deployed across China, including the Soviet border, the US military base. Cayhi of Kayshi enthusiastically welcomed this proposal. Arthur port and some other important strategic areas have been given to the US government directly. The Korean peninsula is expected to occupy and hold tightly by the US military and Chan Kaisha army. India must also become an area with a popular influence of the United States.
The unilateral joining the US military into the defeat of the country's defeated forces and established an unfriendly support regime directly near the Soviet border.
Therefore, we participated in the war in Vien Dong not only pursuing the rapid defeat of the Japanese armed forces, but also to create favorable military strategic positions for the Soviet Union in East Asia.
The participation in the Soviet war brought Japan to the verge of failure. It was the Red Army who finally deprived Japan's command, and was not a nuclear bombardment, because the United States was still trying and trying to prove so far.
And in Reskript on August 17, 1945, Emperor Hirochito did not even mention the American atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but directly called the Soviet War as the main reason for surrendering.
These and other facts indicate that if they did not participate in the Soviet War, the Americans could not quickly defeat Japan, even throwing it with atomic bomb, when the Japanese population persuaded the propaganda of the US military. According to the calculation of the US headquarters, to ensure landing on the Japanese archipelago, at least nine nuclear bombs are required. But after attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the United States no longer had them, and the production of new people demanded for a long time.
Even US President Harry Truman, who even held positions against frankly, admitted: When we really wanted the Russians to participate in the war against Japan. In his memoirs, he noted that “Russia participated in the war more and more necessary to save hundreds of thousands of Americans.”
The more sp: What conclusions from all of this we can draw? – The fact is that the Red Army himself contributed to the failure of the Japanese ground force on the continent, which motivated the Japanese government to surrender. Our military stroke has deprived Japan's guidance on moving troops from China to urban, tearing the bacterial and chemical battle, saving millions of people's lives, including Japanese people.
The landing of the Soviet landing and the Japanese army's arrest in the South Kuril Islands completely ended in early September 1945. But the official end of the war between the Soviet Union and Japan occurred in December 1956 in the process of ratification and starting the Soviet-Japanese joint statement.
Due to the Soviet battle, obeying the terms of the Yalta Conference agreements in 1945, he officially returned to his territory because the Russian Empire was Japan at the end of Cusso-Japan's war.
