'''Anuchin Island''' ({{langx|ru| Анучина }}, {{langx|ja|秋勇留島|Akiyuri-to}}, {{langx|ain|アキ・ユリ|translit=Aki-Yuri}}) is an uninhabited island in the [Habomai Islands](/source/Habomai_Islands) sub-group of the [Kuril Islands](/source/Kuril_Islands) chain in the south of the [Sea of Okhotsk](/source/Sea_of_Okhotsk), northwest [Pacific Ocean](/source/Pacific_Ocean). Named after [Dmitry Anuchin](/source/Dmitry_Anuchin), Russian anthropologist, ethnographist and archaeologist. Island's Japanese name is derived from the [Ainu language](/source/Ainu_language).

==History==
Anuchina was originally uninhabited. In 1799, under the [Tokugawa shogunate](/source/Tokugawa_shogunate) of Japan, a trading post and settlement was established on the island by the villages of [Akkeshi](/source/Akkeshi_District%2C_Hokkaido) and [Nemuro](/source/Nemuro%2C_Hokkaido) as a base for fishermen, and for trade with the [Ainu](/source/Ainu_people), the native peoples of the Kurils, [Sakhalin](/source/Sakhalin) and [Hokkaidō](/source/Hokkaid%C5%8D). Administration of the island came under the village of [Habomai](/source/Habomai%2C_Hokkaido) in Hokkaido during the [Meiji period](/source/Meiji_period). The inhabitants of the island were mostly engaged in [commercial fishing](/source/commercial_fishing) for [Pollock](/source/Pollock) and harvesting [konbu](/source/konbu).

During the [Invasion of the Kuril Islands](/source/Invasion_of_the_Kuril_Islands) by the [Soviet Union](/source/Soviet_Union) after the end of World War II, the island was seized without resistance. In 1945, its native inhabitants were [deported](/source/Deportation)<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-pacific-11664434 |title= Kuril islands dispute between Russia and Japan  |date= 29 April 2013|website= |publisher= [BBC News](/source/BBC_News) |access-date= 2019-12-28 |quote=}}</ref> to Hokkaido and the island was uninhabited except for [Soviet Border Troops](/source/Soviet_Border_Troops) until they were withdrawn upon the [dissolution of the Soviet Union](/source/dissolution_of_the_Soviet_Union) in 1991. The island is now uninhabited and is administered as part of the [Sakhalin Oblast](/source/Sakhalin_Oblast) of the [Russian Federation](/source/Russian_Federation).

The offshore islets of Kuril islands mostly remained unnamed during the Soviet era. The [Russian Geographical Society](/source/Russian_Geographical_Society) made an expedition to the area in 2012 to generate ideas for naming further five islets which were officially given Russian names in 2017. One of them, Derevyanko,<ref>it was named after [Kuzma Derevyanko](/source/Kuzma_Derevyanko), a Soviet representative, who officially accepted the surrender of Japan on 2 September 1945 aboard the USS Missouri</ref> is part of Anuchina's offshore islets.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.rgo.ru/ru/article/pyat-bezymyannyh-kurilskih-ostrovov-poluchili-nazvaniya | title = Пять безымянных курильских островов получили названия | trans-title =Five unnamed Kuril Islands have been named |date=14 February 2017 |access-date=19 March 2023 | language = ru }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://edition.cnn.com/2017/02/15/asia/japan-protests-russia-kuril-islands/index.html | title = Japan protests Russia’s naming of 5 islands on the Kuril chain |date=15 February 2017 |access-date=19 March 2023 | language = en }}</ref>
