The Russians never invaded Japan during world war two, it was quite the opposite. The Japanese invaded the Soviet Union twice, the first time it was 1937 and the last time it was 1940/1941. The Japanese were beaten back with heavy losses both times due to heavy fire power from Russian tanks-artillery -infantry. A Russian General unknown at this time would become well known after the battle of Moscow /Stalingrad and Kursk-Marshal Georgi Zhukov.

after the Germans had been beaten back the Russians had full intentions of helping the allies beat the japs. the allies prohibited the soviets from doing this because this might have interfered with the dropping of the a-bomb. However, Russia did invade Japan-occupied land during the invasion of Manchuria, which was under Japanese occupation at the time.
