Korsakov
Korsakov is a port town on Aniva Bay at the southern end of Sakhalin, Russia. Founded as a Russian post in 1853, it passed to Japan in 1905 as Otomari, where the Karafuto Agency was first set up in 1907. It passed to the Soviet Union in 1945 and remains Sakhalin's main port for ferries and shipping.
