	Kuril Islands: sea road to the deep north, by Guy-Pierre Chomette
		The islands are so shrouded in mist one might forget they were there, were they not the subject of endless disputes between Russia and Japan (1).
		The Russians of the Kurils were once the darlings of the Soviet authorities as pioneers on inhospitable but strategic islands (barring the way to the Okhotsk Sea and thereby protecting Russia’s Siberian coast).
		Then the Russians allowed former Japanese residents of the Kurils to visit the islands once or twice a year, for one day only, to put flowers on their family graves." It gradually became a custom and when, in 1991, the two countries decided to open the strait further, contacts were quickly made.
