Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a speech to Russian cultural figures on April 25, said, "In Japan, we are not supposed to say who dropped the atomic bombs, even on Remembrance Day. He also stated that "Japanese textbooks do not explain that the U.S. committed the massacre and ignore the truth," although the basis for this statement is unclear. He developed his own theory that Japan is following the US.
The reason for this is that Japanese people are open-minded.
Even though cities all over Japan were bombed by the U.S., and even though hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed by the atomic bombs dropped on them, the Japanese people resigned themselves to the fact that they had lost the war and it was inevitable.
Until yesterday, the Japanese people were shouting "Kichiku Beiei" (the devil, the US and Britain), but as soon as the war was over, they became "Long live MacArthur".
The Japanese army insisted on a decisive battle on the mainland until the very end, but not a single Japanese resisted the Occupation forces.
When Japan signed the San Francisco Peace Treaty and became independent, Okinawa was allowed to remain under U.S. rule. Please feel free to use it.
In the Peace Treaty, Japan renounced its territorial rights to the Kuril Islands and south Sakhalin. This was not requested by the Soviet Union.
When Japan and China restored diplomatic relations, Japan did not assert its sovereignty over the Senkaku Islands.
How about it, Putin, did you see how open-minded the Japanese people are?
At the very least, why don't you emulate this open-mindedness in Russia?
