Summary/Abstract |
In the midst of a deepening argument about World War II between Russia and Eastern Europe, the situation in Asia looks more favorable for Moscow. To most of Russia’s neighbors in East Asia – China, Mongolia, both Koreas – the perception of WWII is well disposed to Moscow. But the situation in relations with its former opponent – Japan – is still quite sensitive. Although nowadays they are not entangled with harsh ‘memory wars’, the gap in both countries’ perception of WWII is still quite significant.
