Secondary relief for Victims of the Nikholaevsk Massacre and Okhotsk Incident in 1926

Creators Izao Tomio

The Purpose of this article is to explain the Special Law passed in 1926 for secondary relief for the Victims of the Nikholaevsk Massacre and Okhotsk incident. Victims of two incidents received relief under a Special Law passed in 1922, but they wanted secondary relief because the amount of money given to them in the initial relief program was very small.
However, the Japanese Government had already established diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, and thus had surrendered the right to claim compensation. Hence, the Japanese Government agreed to provide a second relief fund for the victims of these incidents. This secondary relief was a very political decision from the viewpoint of Background and Distribution.
