During WW2 Japan faithful to Russia Japan Non Aggression Treaty so Japan was never able to invade Russia when Russia was weakened in early 1940s when Germany almost took Moscow. In August 1945 Russia violated Russia Japan Non Aggression Treaty and invaded Japan to take Sakhalin island which Japan took from Russia in 1905 Russia Japan war because Japan considers all lands inhabited by Ainu as legit Japan land.
