Russia was preparing to invade Japan in 2021, but chose Ukraine - the media

About it reports Newsweek with reference to the email of the informant with the FSB. The e -mail dated March 17, the founder of the project Gulagu. net, Vladimir Osechkin, sent an agent called the "wind of change". He is now hiding in France. According to the informant, the FSB is growing dissatisfaction with the large -scale war in Ukraine. Igor Sushko, the head of the Wind of Change research group, transferred a letter to journalists.

In the future, this letter was read by Bellingcat, Christ Grozev, who showed him to two FSB staff (one former and one in force), and they said that they had no doubt that the letter had written their colleague. It is reported that in August 2021 the Kremlin had "quite serious plans for local military conflict with Japan. " But at the same time, the Russian leadership preferred to start an invasion of Ukraine in a few months.

"The confidence that there is a confrontation between the countries and even the war began. Why Ukraine was chosen for the war after all, it is not for me," - wrote an informant who told about the details of the movements of the helicopters, which were intended for Japan. . In addition, a Russian propaganda machine was also launched for this purpose, which was ready to glue the Japanese labels of "Nazis" and "Nazis".

According to the informant, all the geopolitics of Japan is concentrated around the Kuril Islands. "The status of a country that has lost World War II still does not allow Japan to organize official armed forces, external intelligence service and a number of other things. For the rising country, the return of Kuril would mean revision (or even cancel) of post -war status," - - - - The source noted.

Meanwhile, for Moscow, these islands are more likely to be the main trump card and the argument in the negotiations. "The Celestial (China) treats any attempts by revisionism, and the potential victory of Tokyo in the negotiations about Kuril is unacceptable to Beijing. So that China will easily complicate Russia's life for such a" gift "," the source said. In August 2021, the FSB declared details about how the Japanese special services were tortured by Soviet citizens during World War II.

According to the FSB informant, the Office was entrusted with the task of conducting an information campaign against Japan among the population of the Russian Federation. "It happened suddenly and almost unexpectedly," the informant wrote. Among the declassified data were information obtained from the interrogation of the generalist Japanese army of Otodzo Yamada.

It is reported that on August 16, the Russian media literally exploded and began discussing documents that the Japanese conducted horrible biological experiments on Soviet prisoners and treated the Soviet soldiers horrifyly. The details of the plague lice, which were tortured by prisoners, were everywhere. Russia today joined this campaign. In his letter, the informant referred to information from the pro -Kremlin media.

In particular, one of the documents, which is called: "How the USSR saved the world from the biological war prepared by Japan. " Another document of Russian propagandists was dedicated to the fact that Japan allegedly prepared for the war with the USSR. In August 2021, the FSB published data that Japan planned to use a bacteriological bomb. It is reported that the Kremlin planned to force the Russian population to believe that the Japanese were the Nazis.

Such an information campaign was being prepared for Japan, but later they simply replaced Japan with Ukraine. It should be reminded that the General Staff of the Armed Forces sent an urgent appeal to the people of Belarus, in which he asked to be vigilant and not succumbed to the exhortation of representatives of the Kremlin, who push Belarus to participate in the war.
