 Treaty of Saint Petersburg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Shimoda of 1855 had defined the border between Japan and Russia to be the strait between Iturup (Etorofu) and Urup (Uruppu) islands in the Kurile chain, but had left the status of Sakhalin (Karafuto) open.
In order to remedy this situation the Japanese government sent an ambassador, Enomoto Takeaki, to St Petersburg to clearly define the border.
After a year of negotiations, Japan agreed to renounce its claims to Sakhalin, with compensation for Japanese residents, access by the fishing fleet to the Sea of Okhotsk, ten-years free use of Russian ports in the area and ownership of all of the Kurile Islands.

The military features in Saint Petersburg’s iconography were no accident; they reflected a fixed image that played an important role in the daily life and culture of the Russian capital.

One manifestation of the military image of Saint Petersburg were the regiments of the Guard Cuirassier Division: the Horse-Guardsmen, the Life Guard Cavalry, and the Cuirassiers of His and Her Majesty.

 Yorkshire CND - Treaty Offers Pentagon New Flexibility - 13/5/02
The treaty calls for reducing the size of the actively deployed US and Russian strategic nuclear arsenals from some 6,000 weapons on each side today to between 1,700 and 2,200 by the year 2012.
By designing a treaty that will hold so many nuclear weapons in reserve and retain so many on active "hair-trigger" alert, the two sides are not exactly demonstrating a level of trust commensurate with their current friendly relations.
When the treaty is examined closely, it has more the feel of a public relations effort than a solid step toward reducing nuclear dangers and fulfilling the long-standing promises of the two countries to engage in good faith negotiations for nuclear disarmament.
