Hello Prince

Could be interesting, as Russia's official position, stated numerous times and a matter of public record, is that the southern two do indeed belong to Japan. The handover has not been decided and may indeed never happen, but I imagine there will be all sorts of issues to deal with if they start developing land they agree belong to another country.
