Zemlyak (Russian: земляк, "countryman") was a Russian political movement which emerged in 1992, founded by Mikhail Lukyanov, advocating for Russia to return the Kuril Islands to Japan as it would benefit the islanders economically.The movement become extremely unpopular due to its leader's fanatic pro-Japanese position during the 90s, heavy investments into the Kuril islands by Moscow in recent years and marginalisation of the movement. As of 2019 the movement has сeased to exist and its former leader is considered an outcast among the locals.
