Sakhalin is an island in the Pacific, North
of Japan, that since 1947, with the Kurils,
forms a region of Russia. The economy is
based on dairy farming, leguminous crops,
oats, barley, and sugar beet. In the milder
south, there is also timber, rice, wheat,
fish, some oil, and coal. The island was
settled by both Russians and Japanese from
the 17th century.
