Takaichi demanded the dismantling of the monument to the victory over militaristic Japan in Khabarovsk
The Japanese government said it would continue seeking the monument’s dismantling and had already conveyed demands to Moscow even before the monument was opened. The monument in Khabarovsk depicts a bronze Soviet soldier smashing a border post topped with a chrysanthemum — the symbol of the Japanese imperial house.
