Historic overview:

The Soviet invasion of the Japanese part of Sakhalin island. After Russia lost the Russo-Japanese War the southern part of Sakhalin Island had to be relinquished to Japan. At the end of World War II, the Soviets managed to retake the southern part and rejoin it to the USSR. Article on Czech Wikipedia Article on English Wikipedia Scenario in dates: February 11, 1945: In the Soviet Union - The Yalta Conference ends. Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin and their senior military and political advisors meet to discuss the postwar order and the war with Japan. It is agreed that the USSR will join the war against Japan within three months of the end of the war in Europe. In return, the Soviet Union will be granted the Japanese part of Sakhalin Island and the Kurile Islands. Also, the postwar borders of Poland are established, as is the division of Germany into occupation zones. There are vague Soviet assurances concerning "free" and "democratic" elections in eastern European countries liberated by the USSR. In addition, there is discussion of a United Nations Organization and there is agreement on a preliminary meeting to create the institution, in April in San Francisco. Yalta is a recently liberated Crimean resort. The Soviet delegation leaves the Crimea over the Kerch Strait on the originally Germans built the Kerch Railroad Bridge, which will be destroyed a week later by the ice pushed by wind from the Azov Sea, and both shores will again link up the Crimean Bridge in 2018. July 26, 1945: Occupied Germany - The so-called Potsdam Declaration is being adopted at a conference in Potsdam near Berlin, calling on Japan to surrender according to the conditions, otherwise it will face complete destruction. The declaration is signed by US President Harry Truman, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek. The Soviet Union is not a signatory of the declaration because it is not in war with Japan, but it is bound by the secret conclusions of the Yalta Conference to attack Japan within three months after the end of the war in Europe. During the conference, Truman generally mentions to Stalin "a powerful new weapon," but he does not show signs of surprise becouse he is informed about the US nuclear weapon by his agents. At the same time, the results of the June elections in Britain, after the counting of the overseas votes, are published. Winston Churchill recieves a crushing defeat and leaves the conference and the post of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. His successor becomes Clement Attlee.
