Absolutely not wtf. Those bombs are part of the reason Japan never underwent their own denazification because the Soviets were going to liberate them from the imperial fascists.
afaik they were preparing ships in sakhalin to send troops to hokkaido when the bombs went off. like a couple more weeks and we would have had a communist hokkaido. they occupied the kurils and sakhalin within two weeks of declaring war as well
