Abstract
On August 9 1945, the Soviet Union, which had abandoned the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact to join the war against Japan, invaded Karafuto. The evacuation of Karafuto began on August 13 1945, two days after the Soviet army crossed the fiftieth parallel. Until the cessation of evacuations on August 23, about 77,000 children, women, and elderly residents evacuated to Hokkaido. Then the evacuation was halted, and those who had not had time to evacuate were returned to their former homes. The planned repatriation of the Japanese population and the repopulation of the island by Soviet inhabitants began thereafter (Nakayama, 2015, p. 28).
