Since the Soviet Union was for the time being a weak nation in 1920s, she had to sign with Japan an agreement to have the exchange of the right of exploiting the petroleum and coal in Northern Sakhalin for the withdrawal of Japanese troop from the area. With the development of strength the Soviet Russia stroke for revoking this agreement. The agreement was abolished at last when Japan was put in her disadvantage in the WWII.
