The Russian Federation was not yet a year old, when Yeltsin was planning to give away the land, required with the blood of the Soviet soldiers in 1945. This is the story of how Yeltsin’s grand giveaway of the Kuril Islands was thwarted. It is told over 3 articles, each bringing additional details and food for thought.

“I’m the tsar, if I want to, I’ll give it away!”

Boris Konstantinovich Ratnikov

Boris Konstantinovich Ratnikov, 71, Retired Major General of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation. In 1969 he graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute, in 1974 he graduated from the Higher Courses of the KGB of the USSR. He spent 3.5 years on a mission in the Republic of Afghanistan through the KGB. He participated in combat operations, was awarded orders and medals. 1991-1994 – First Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of Security of the Russian Federation. He was engaged in ensuring the security of the country’s top officials, including through the use of psi technologies. Then he became the chief consultant in the Security Service of the President of Russia, adviser to the head of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation. Currently, he is the head of the Information and Analytical Center of the National Association of Bodyguards of Russia.

Below is an interview of B.K.Ratnikov conducted by the correspondent of Komzomolskaya Pravda, Evegeny Chernyh on October 19, 2017.

Ratnikov: On August 21, 1992, the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1553-r “On the preparation of the visit of the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin to Japan” was signed by Gaidar, General Ratnikov recalls. – A working group was created headed by S. Glazyev, the then First Deputy Minister of Foreign Economic Relations of Russia. The historic visit was scheduled for September. I learned that in Tokyo Yeltsin was preparing to transfer 2-3 islands of the Kuril Ridge to Japan to demonstrate his new political course. Boris Nikolaevich wanted to show himself as a peacemaker. Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Gorbachev did not give up the islands, I could! He was encouraged to take this step by a number of figures from his inner circle.

Chernyh: Who exactly?

– Kozyrev, for example, who was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Japanese had already happily promised us the first loan of $100 million. But the Kuril Islands are a very sensitive issue. This is both the integrity of Russia and the fate of our citizens living there. Where would they go? There was no relocation or employment program. All this would have caused outrage in the country. General Georgy Rogozin and I decided to test the situation and see possible scenarios.

Rogozin was a strong “psychic operator” (BATS note: that is, an able analyst). We were literally stunned by the information we received. As soon as Yeltsin hands over the islands to Japan, China will immediately lay claim to its disputed territories to Russia. At that time, hundreds of kilometers of the border with China were not demarcated. An armed conflict could have started.

– As on Damansky Island in the spring of 1969. Then we lost 58 border guards, the Chinese lost about three hundred.

– This time, the conflict could become more widespread and even escalate into a major war that would weaken Russia and China, two competitors of the United States. That’s what the calculation was for overseas. Through agents of influence in the CPC Central Committee, Washington would have pushed the Chinese leadership to take decisive action. The Russians gave the disputed Kuril Islands to Japan, and what about us? If they don’t give up the territory, we’ll take it ourselves! After all, the Yankees had their hands not only on Kozyrev, who now lives in the United States, but also on responsible Chinese comrades. The international community would declare China an aggressor. The United Nations and a number of countries would apply economic and political sanctions against an aggressor who encroached on the sovereign territory of another state. Or perhaps they would have divided the Celestial Empire into ethnic regions. Beijing was in Washington’s way in establishing a unipolar world after the collapse of the USSR and the Eastern Bloc. Moscow was also in the way, but having lost the Soviet republics, it was in the background.

It was this catastrophic scenario that a seemingly innocent, peacemaking transfer of the disputed Kuril Islands to Japan led to, to which Yeltsin was pushed by Kozyrev.

I decided to check through the intelligence and counterintelligence agencies whether this information has a basis, can events develop according to the predicted scenario? A thorough check has shown that the alleged situation and its consequences are quite real. The islands could not be given away.

Japanese Yasukuni Shrine and what kind of demons worship there

On October 17, 2026, TASS News Agency reported that Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has sent an offering to the Yasukuni Shinto shrine, which is considered a symbol of militarism in China and several other Asian countries, according to Kyodo news agency.

Takaichi refrained from making a personal visit to the shrine not to create diplomatic problems with South Korea and China, which react sharply to such pilgrimages. The offering was made on the occasion of the traditional autumn festival celebrated at the shrine.

On September 8, 2024, it was the ambassador of Ukranazistan who was worshipping at the Yasukuni Shrine

In a slightly sarcastic post at LiveJournal we could read a bemused description of somewhat of an unreal event, should we have lived in a normal world:

The Ukrainian Embassy in Japan dropped by to the Yasukuni Shrine to worship the “ghosts of fallen soldiers.” (allies of the hitlerites)

There is a memorial in the Yasukuni Shrine to all those who fought for the Third Reich, and occupied China on top of that.

Well, it’s understandable – where else would the Hohols go if there’s no SS march nearby (this is not the Baltics, after all), but for their relations with China this is a veritable control shot in the head. Flowers were laid at the memorial of “employees of detachment 731”, and all that jazz.

And the Chinese went all out with the topic of the visit of the Ukrainian ambassador to Japan – on the date of the end of World War II and the date of remembrance of those killed in China – to the Japanese Yasukuni Shrine, worshipping the Nazi criminals.

Back then, the Ukro-Nazi ambassador to Japan visited the temple just a week after Russian FSB , on August 31, 2024, had declassified certain documents pertaining Detachment 731.

❗The FSB has released a declassified archival document about Japan’s use of bacteriological weapons against Soviet troops during the battles at the Khalkhin-Gol River in late August 1939.

This atrocity was committed by Detachment No. 731 of the Kwantung Army, infamous for its monstrous experiments in infecting people with deadly infections.

By the way, we call it the “Battles of Khalkhin Gol,” Mongolia – the “Khalkhin Gol War”, and Japan called just the “Nomon Khan Incident”.

The atrocities that Detachment 731 committed are too numerous to describe in one publication. Below is an article from “Arumenty i Fakty” about the declassified documents.

The experiment of the killer doctors. Japan used biological weapons against the USSR

The FSB published declassified archival documents stating that at the end of August 1939, Japan used bacteriological weapons against the USSR. The documents contain the protocol of the interrogation of a non-commissioned officer of the Japanese army, who served under the command of Japanese microbiologist Ishii Shiro (photo) near Harbin.

Shiro is a famous Japanese war criminal who conducted experiments on living people while commanding the infamous secret unit “Detachment 731”. Under his command, Japanese doctors infected prisoners with bacteria of deadly diseases, extracted organs from living victims and conducted many other savage experiments. At the same time, most of the fanatical doctors managed to evade responsibility – they were given asylum by Americans who were very interested in the results of their work.

What do the declassified documents say?

The interrogation of senior non-commissioned officer of the Japanese army Hayashi Kazuo was conducted in Morshansk on January 15, 1947. According to his testimony, from October 1938 to February 1941, he served as a treasurer in the Ishii Shiro unit located in the village of Heibo, 30 km south of Harbin. By the unit of “Ishii Shiro”, one obviously means “Detachment 731”, whose direct leader at the time was Shiro.
