The article describes a post-war issue that binds two countries: Russia, Japan, and their current mutual images as well. The main aim is to evaluate an impact degree of the Japanese POWs factor and its assets on the establishment of the current image of Russia in Japan. In order to create an overall picture of a foreign perception of Russia amid the heritage of the Soviet-Japanese war a brief analysis of Russian and foreign sources was made. The sources concern memorial aspects of repatriated Japanese POWs.
