Russian declared war on Japan during World War II on August 8, 1945.
At the Yalta Conference in early 1945 Stalin had promised to enter the war against Japan within ninety days after Germany was defeated. August 7 coincidentally happened to be the ninetieth day. The Soviets wanted to grab as much real estate as possible before Japan gave up. They did get Sakhalin Island. In 1983 the Soviet Air Force shot down a Korean Air Lines jumbo jet which had strayed over Sakhalin, killing nearly three hundred civilians. Sakhalin was covered with Soviet military installations, which in the Soviet mind justified this casual barbarity.
