| Summary: | Here is where the homeland?s morning begins?, advertisement billboards claim romantically, representing the power vertical from the Pacific Ocean to the Baltic Sea. The many centuries spent and methods used to colonise the islands have, however, made neither Sakhalin nor the Kuril Islands ?our Australia?, though in both cases the land was first colonised by convicts at the same time.
