Note handed to Naotake Sato, Japanese Ambassador to the USSR, by Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov in Moscow, on August 1942:
After the heavy defeat of Great Britain and China to Japan, the mighty Rising Sun Empire continues it's Imperialistic attittude towards the world. Taking into account the refusal of Japan to change it's Imperialistic ways, the Allies approached the Soviet Government with a proposal to join the war against Japanese aggression and thus shorten the duration of the war, reduce the number of casualties and contribute toward the most speedy restoration of peace.
The Soviet Government considers that this policy is the only means able to bring peace nearer, to free the people from further sacrifice and suffering and to give the Japanese people the opportunity of avoiding the danger of destruction suffered by other nations.
In view of the above, the Soviet Government declares that, as of tomorrow, the Soviet Union will consider herself in a state of war against Japan.
