🗓 September 3 marks the Day of Military Glory in Russia — the day of victory over militarist Japan and the end of World War II. On September 2, the representative of the USSR General Kuzma Derevyanko and the allies of the Soviet Union during WWII signed the Instrument of Surrender of militarist Japan. At the Tehran (1943) and Yalta (1945) conferences of the heads of the Big Three Joseph Stalin agreed to help the United States and Britain in the war against Japan, which at that time the USSR had a pact of neutrality with. It was agreed in Tehran that the USSR would enter the war two or three months after the surrender of Germany. The redeployment of Soviet soldiers to the Far East began even before Berlin was captured. According to the plan the Soviet forces were to encircle and defeat the enemy in the Far East within two months but victory was achieved much faster — merely 11 days later. ☝️ The Red Army dealt a crushing blow to the Kwantung Army, which became one of the determining factors of the defeat of militarist Japan. Southern part of Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, Manchuria and part of Korea were liberated from Japanese occupation. 📹The Russian Military Historical Society #Victory79#WeWereAllies
