Russian Foreign Ministry criticizes Japan for distorting history through film and television works Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, October 28 (reporter Geng Huahuang) Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova stated at a regular press conference on the 28th that Russia has noticed that Japan has repeatedly distorted history in film and television works. If Japan continues with "such false activities", Russia will take parallel actions. Responding to a question from a Xinhua News Agency reporter, Zakharova said that Russia has noticed that Japanese film and television works distort historical facts in films and television works involving the South Kuril Islands (known as the Four Northern Islands in Japan), the Russo-Japanese War and Soviet intelligence personnel. For example, the 2003 Japanese film The Spy Cage glorified counter-espionage operations during Japan's militarism. Zakharova said that Russia advocates an objective interpretation of history, and this is no exception in the field of cinema and television. She also gave an example of the film "Red Silk" co-produced by Russia and China. "Currently, the sequel to the film, Black Silk, is being prepared," Zakharova said. Zakharova also expressed concern about Japan's "remilitarization" line. She said that Russia pays close attention to Japan's increasingly frequent military training activities near the Russian border, the deployment of short- and medium-range missile systems during exercises, and the failure to recognize the consequences of World War II and other trends affecting Russia's security interests, and has repeatedly stated Russia's position on the issue.
