So, shortly after the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima, the USSR declared war on The Empire of Japan, and began invading Japanese held territories.
Shortly after this and the bombing of Nagasaki, The Japanese surrendered unconditionally to the allies. Ending World War Two.
But the USSR never signed any kind of peace treaty with Japan.
Does this mean that legally speaking, WW2 did not end until the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991? Or that it never has, and that the Russian Federation, the successor state to the USSR, inherited the state of war with Japan?
