Aren't the islands full of Russian people? I imagine a referendum wouldn't yield a result that was unfavourable to Russia.

  it depends on the Japan's proposition. If they will propose to guarantee jobs for every new citizen with typical for Japan salary - it will be enough because the exchange rate of Russian ruble is dropped by more than 100% in the last 5 days.

    People will readily pay or forgo money in order to live how they want where they want with people they get along with.

    Considering how much discrimination japanese Koreans and especially Ainu has faced, it's hard to take this proposition at a face value. "Would you like to have an average wage of our country as a second-class citizen".

    0.0091, down to 0.0075 is far from 100% by the way, a drop of 100% or more would imply the currency is below zero no matter its previous value. so what we see here is a 20%, max 25% drop of the rubble to the dollar. bringing people's view towards reality is a difficult but much needed change to wish for.
