Power struggle - Sakhalin

Preface

Sakhalin, in Russia's far east, is 6,000km from Moscow, yet a short hop from Japan, its former ruler. Marooned from its Asian neighbours during the Soviet era, the region has so far seen little investment from Japanese business or the spoils of its own huge reserves of oil and gas.
