Russian state media publishes interview with Russian historian who accuses Japan of committing genocide against the Ainu. Anatoly Koshkin says “Hokkaido is not Japanese territory… It’s a colony conquered via many battles with the Ainu.” He accuses Japan of modern-day discrimination against the Ainu, as well as Koreans, Burakumin, & people from the Ryukyus. He says Okinawa used to belong to China.
