Russky Island (Russian: о́стров Ру́сский, lit. Russian island) is a Russian island in the Sea of Japan off Vladivostok, about 5,800 miles east of Moscow.
By 1889, Russky Island formed part of the defences of the fortress city of Vladivostok. Over several years, the initial temporary wooden structures were replaced by stone and the island contained the Fort of Pospelov, as a part of the plans of Colonel K. I. Velichko.
