Introduction of fishery technology, labor and fishing materials from Japan to the fishery of Far Eastern Russia was intensified after the establishment of the Soviet system. The Soviet aimed to develop the fishing industry of Russian Far East as the food productivity division of the socialist economy through new state enterprises and also selected private fishing enterprises. As Russian fishing companies had their branches in Hakodate, the Soviet set up a branch office of the Soviet Trade Representative in Japan and state enterprises in Hakodate. These Soviet enterprises would introduce Japanese fishing materials and labor through their branches in Hakodate. Then the Soviet began to Russianize the Far East fishery by replacing the Japanese with domestic labor. The year of 1932 was the last case of Japanese employment by the Soviet fishing companies. However, the Russianization of the fishery was only for labor and did not cover fishing materials. I have presented various cases of contact between the Japanese and indigenous people of Kamchatka and also various examples of Japanese influence to the Russian / Soviet fishery in Kamchatka. In this paper I would like examine what the Soviet fishery of Far East was going to be, and how the situation of fishery in Kamchatka was after August 1945, when the Soviet joined the war on Japan, based on historical materials and the interview with a Japanese left behind in Kamchatka.
