>Interesting point. I haven't checked the details on this, but wasn't there no formal declaration of war between Russia and Japan until just before WWII ended?
Yep -

You'd think so, but Russia and Japan had signed a
neutrality pact in 1941 and I assume that it was conveniant for both countries to abide by it for the majority of the war. Most books I've read basically accuse the USSR of out-and-out land-grabbing.
