If you really want to get technical, the USSR and Japan did not formally have a "peace treaty" or, again, techically, a surrender as of the fall of the Soviet Union due to an ongoing dispute over the northern-most islands in the Japanese island chain (or the southern-most islands off the Kamchatka peninsula, if you were the USSR). I am not sure if the dispute can be or is able to be transferred to the new Russian Federation (or just Russia as a lone nation) under international laws or treaties, but I do believe the dispute lingers on. Note, however, no hostilities AFAIK have occurred since shortly after the "official" end of the war. The US view is the islands are Japanese territory under Russian military occupation. So, in a tecnical sense, with all i's dotted and t's crossed, World War II is not over...
