The status of the islands has continued to sour relations between Moscow and Tokyo. Here s What You Need to Remember: After the war, 17,000 Japanese civilian residents were deported, while those captured Japanese soldiers were interned in Siberia and many didn t return home until 1950. Today 19,000 Russian citizens lived on the island chain, and given the impending arrival of tanks it isn t likely they ll be leaving anytime soon. Since the end of the Second World War seventy-five years ago, the Kuril Islands have remained under Russian administration even despite Japanese claims for the four southernmost (including two largest) of the islands. Known as the South Kurils by the Russians and the Northern Territories to the Japanese, these islands were captured by the Soviet Red Army in late August and early September 1945 and annexed to the Soviet Union.
