Investigation "Stalin’s Captives" is dedicated to the topic of Japanese prisoners in the USSR after the World War II, which has been a taboo for a long time. The cause of the Soviet Union entering into the war with Japan is shown clearly on the basis of rich archives documents. The book gives motives for Stalin’s taking decision to make use of Japanese soldiers and officers on the works in Siberia, Far East and Middle Asia. It shows the process of political re-education, as well as repatriation of Japanese civil population and military prisoners from the USSR to the native land. The book is intended for scientific, as well as for broad reader's audience
