[edit] Treaty of Shimoda

Hi, Russia did not "attack" Japan "as an act of revenge". Only a nationalist source could contain this information which I branded "patent lies". Golovnin was sent by the Russian Academy of Sciences to explore the nature of Kunashir, so it's preposterous to claim that he "was taken prisoner in one of these attacks". I know that the Japanese were hyper-sensitive about their self-isolation and viewed every foreigner as an invader, but exploration is not aggression, whatever definition you choose to stick to. --Ghirla-трёп- 16:44, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

- I perfectly understand and don't object to your opinion. I just wrote down what I could find in my sources, which are admittely rather pro-japanese. Nevertheless, thank you for the info, it gives me a better objective view of the Russian contacts with Japan. I applaud every contribution which makes articles I started more objective. If you would have any other remarkes, please let me know and maybe we can discuss, since I'm very interested in the subject. T.Jansen 21:54, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
