Russia And China Settle Century Old Border Dispute [Getty Images]

KHABAROVSK, RUSSIA - DECEMBER 15: A religious procession walks from Khabarovsk to the Russian Orthodox Church on Big Ussury Island December 15, 2004 in Khabarovsk, Russia. In November, Russia and China quietly settled a century-old border dispute, giving up three large Amur River islands in a quiet solution that could set the stage for resolving the island issue with Japan. One problem is that the nationalist governor recently built a Russian Orthodox Church in what is now the Chinese side of an island. (Photo by Oleg Nikishin/Getty Images)
