Kuril island Matua

Matua - a small island located in the heart of the Kuril chain. During the Great Patriotic War, the Japanese turned it into an impregnable fortress, planning to use as a springboard for war with the Soviet Union. War actually began, but in 1945, 3811 Japanese soldiers and officers "valiantly" surrendered 40 Soviet border guards. Then appeared on the island outpost guards, sailors and air defense PTO separate company, where I had to serve in the 1991- 1993 year. I present to you photos of the island with a few comments. Well ahead my friends in the world uninhabited since 2000.
