The Japanese media conducted their own investigation and found out some details about the Russian who arrived in the country unknown how. So the newspaper “Iomiuri”, after talking with eyewitnesses, reports that the man landed in Hokkaido in a tracksuit and sneakers. He had a backpack with him and looked absolutely dry. He stood for a long time at the local police station and, when he was called, said in Japanese “no passport”, “Kunashir”, “sailed”.
The newspaper “Mainity” adds details to the description of the appearance of the “defector”. Journalists report that in addition to the backpack, the man also had a bag. He is wearing a hat, gold-rimmed glasses and a mask.
The newspaper “Hokkaido Shinbun” writes that the man is 38 years old and he has a Russian driver’s license with him. The publication’s employees refer to informed sources in government structures.
An anonymous source in the administration of the South Kuril city district told RIA “News” that he knows who he is talking about. This man came to the island three years ago from Udmurtia. The man went to sea on August 17, and only on the 20th he was picked up by Japanese border guards. Between Kunashir and Hokkaido, let me remind you, about 20 km.
