Transcription
Plot
The story takes place in Maoka City, Karafuto, Japan (Currently Kholmsk, Sakhalin, Russian Federation) during the final year of the Pacific War. Nine telephone operators in Maoka took their own lives by taking potassium cyanide when the Soviet Union invaded the city on August 20, 1945.[3] The TV drama is based on this incident and is partially fictional (names of the characters, etc.).

Background
The Soviet Union's occupation of Karafuto is a very sensitive topic and controversial in both Russia and Japan due to the previous border dispute between the two countries. A 1974 movie titled Karafuto 1945 Summer Hyosetsu no Mon (樺太1945年夏 氷雪の門) portrayed the event as an invasion by the Red Army that claimed the lives of thousands. However, due to political pressure from the Soviet Union, the Japanese government intervened and banned the movie from being aired and sold.
Kiri no Hi caused less political uproar from Russia due to the movie's insistence as "fiction" and it did not focus on the Red Army's brutal actions but instead talked about world peace. At the end, the granddaughter of the survivor of the Soviet offensive pointed at Sakhalin and said, "Grandma, look, it's Sakhalin", with a big smile, instead of calling the island by its Japanese name of Karafuto, which hinted that the Japanese people were to move on from the past and go forward despite their conflict with the Russians.
