Against Russia

Japanese fisherboats were taken to Russia for their alleged operations (I don't know what they have done!). A couple of months ago, a Japanese fisherboat was also assaulted and one of the crews was shot dead for their ill management and in a Russian court the captain was told to admit they were doing something in the wrong place and pay a penalty of about 1500,000 yen, or he would not be home. Reading some articles concerning this in BBC, I would be lured to conclude Russia was trying to build a borderline between Japan and Russia around the Japanese Nothern territory which was taken from Japan after the WWII, in order to silence the fact that the territory was illegitimately belonging to Russia.
