That didn't sound right to me. Please read the following documents, which are quite plain.

I am not going to do any research here. I am not a historian. I wrote this text for the sole reason it was missing and it was mentioned in the article Military history of the Soviet Union. If you have another version of the beginning of the events, please present it. I am aware that I described the Soviet version of the events. The view fom the opposite side is only welcome. But you cannot remove statements without a reason presented that they are wrong or dubious.

So, are you saying that there was no incursion of Japanese military into the territory controlled by Soviets?. At least it is 100% clear it was not vice versa, since at the moment of conflict Soviets had a mere handful of border troops in place, and the Soviet regular army arived only several days after the conflict began.

By the way, since as I see you are working on japanese topics, please take a look at the Japanese nationalism article, currently under an intensive development by an anonymous editor. Mikkalai 03:25, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I am content with current version since I don't intend to justify Japanese action. Having a time, I will write the article in addition. Kanoen 08:10, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
