Amid misconceptions about the remains of the war dead, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare tried to bring back some of the remains collected in the Russian Far East to Japan this month to test DNA. It was found that he did not allow it to be taken out at the stage.

In response to the problem of Siberian detainees, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has put in place a new policy to determine whether or not remains cannot be determined by visual inspection.

For this reason, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare received the remains of 18 people found in Russia this month from Sakhalin in the Russian Far East and Shumush Island in the northern Kuril Islands, but 11 of these could not be confirmed as Japanese remains. I decided to take the specimen home and proceed with the appraisal.

However, the Russian side did not allow it as `` it is legally problematic to take out the remains at a stage where it was not confirmed whether it was a Japanese thing '' and that the remains were temporarily stored at the museum in Sakhalin is.

In the future, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will discuss with Russia the handling of remains stored locally through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
