What would Russia want with a bunch of teeny tiny islands?

Welll...about 110 years ago---they wanted them a lot...but after the Japanese sank their fleet--they kinda gave up on them. At the very end of WWII Stalin saw the chance to grab some turf and avenge the earlier defeat..so he declared war and snatched the Kurils. the Shimoda treaty of 1945gives the southern islands to The Soviet Union, the US holds that there is no Soviet Union and the islands belong to Japan.
Putin says fuck you , they're mine~

But they are...it's a political distinction that needs to made...as the Kurile were ceded to soviet union in Treaty. Thus the name change to Northern Territories for the southern part of the Kurile Islands.
