众所周知,“北方领土”问题纠纷是二战后日苏(俄)两国关系发展中的最大障碍。我们在瞩视着该问题如何解决的同时,有必要认真探讨这一问题的初期形成。本文欲就1955至1956年日苏两国在复交谈判中,鸠山内阁在“北方领土”问题上的抉择作以粗略探讨。 It is well known that the dispute over the “Northern Territory” is the biggest obstacle to the development of the relations between Japan, Russia and the two countries after World War II. While we are watching how this issue can be solved, it is necessary to seriously explore the initial formation of this issue.
