Notes

1Sei Young Rhee, “The Impact of the Sino-Soviet Conflict on the Japanese Communist Party, 1961–1968,” Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Missouri, 1973, 428pp; and Margarete Donath, “Die Kommunistische Partei Japans zwischen Peking und Moskau” (The JCP between Peking and Moscow), Osteuropa, Vol. 27, Part 8 (August 1977), pp. 702–16.

2For a JCP account of these CPSU activities, see “On Interventions in and Subversive Activities Against the Democratic Movements of Our Country and Our Party by the CPSU Leadership and the Institutions and Organizations Under Its Guidance,” Akahata, June 22, 1965, Bulletin, No. 41; reprinted as a separate pamphlet by the Foreign Languages Press in Beijing in 1965.

Since 1965, the Party Central Committee Publishing Bureau has been putting out a collection of documents on international affairs: Nihon Kyosan To Jūyō Rombun Shū (Collection of Important Documents of the JCP). After publication of Vol. 9, the title was changed to Nihon Kyosan To Kokusai Mondai Jūyō Rombun Shū (Collection of Important Documents of the JCP on International Problems).

3This account is based on “The Great Dispute with Suslov” in Hakamada Satoshi, Watakushi no sengo shi (My Postwar History), Tokyo: Asahi Shimbunsha, 1978, pp. 184–90.

4Ibid., p. 188.

5Ibid., p. 189.

6Ibid. Actually, the 1951 document was reportedly drafted by Suslov, and after Stalin’s approval translated by Nosaka into Japanese. Fukuyama Hideharu, “Soren no tai-Nichi seisaku—sono rekishi to genjō” (Soviet policy toward Japan: its history and present state of affairs), Koan joho, No. 346 (July 1982), p. 18.

7Some of the topics taken up at these secret talks were revealed when, on July 18, 1964, the Soviet Party made public its April 18 letter to the JCP, and the Japanese Party replied on August 26, 1964 (Akahata, September 2).

For an analysis of the issues in the dispute, see Scalapino, Scalapino, The Japanese Communist Movement, 1920–1966, Berkeley: University of California Press, 1967, p. 169ff. See also “On Interventions in and Subversive Activities Against the Democratic Movements of Our Country and Our Party by the CPSU Leadership and the Institutions and Organizations Under Its Guidance,” Akahata, June 22, 1965, Bulletin, No. 41 (June 1965); also published as a pamphlet by the Foreign Languages Press in Beijing in 1966, 47pp.

Khrushchev’s Peaceful Co-existence Line,” was reprinted as a separate pamphlet by the Foreign Languages Press in Beijing in 1965.
