>>42712530And Japan was the Japanese Empire, PRC was the Qing Empire or early ROC, and Korea was a vassal state or the Korean Empire, yet all those countries continue to dislike each other not only for 19th/20th century history, but for mutual conflict and tension dating a thousand years if not more. Whether or not modern Russia or any other country is different or similar to how they used to be doesn't matter one bit, the reality is that historical circumstances lead to distrust, tension or in some cases hatred between nations and their communities. Japan and Russia are no exception to this, and the Southern Kuril Islands are an example of how this is ongoing. I don't if you're Russian and you can't cope with the idea with Japan not liking Russia, but the reality is they don't, much like how they don't like Korea or China. You've already proven that you have zero understanding of (relatively) recent history, as well as present Japan-Russia relations, and your claim that
>I doubt they really hate Russia due to lack of actual interaction is completely and utterly false.
