| | RUSSIA: Another Two Catholic Priests Denied Entry. |
| | This was "an unfriendly act and interference in the internal affairs of Russian Federation," according to the statement, and the ministry viewed explanations for it given to the press by a Catholic parish priest to be "unconvincing and insufficient." Bishop Mazur was denied entry to Russia on 19 April. | | | In his view, the deportation had indeed taken place due to the Catholic Church's use of the term "Karafuto". | | | Speaking to Keston by telephone from South Sakhalin on 11 September, Catholic parish priest Emil Dumas said that Fr Wisniewski had expected to be refused entry to Russia, having been told not to return prior to his departure. |

| | After the war, foreigners were shut out of Sakhalin, and the island became a ‘close but distant’ presence. | | | While the name Sakhalin probably doesn’t have much resonance with young people, it was once part of Japanese territory under the name of Karafuto, and many Japanese lived in Sakhalin from before the war through to the end. | | | This area remained under Japanese control for more than 40 years, but in 1951 following World War II, Japan relinquished its right to Karafuto under the San Francisco Peace Treaty. |
