Because Russia took collectivism focus and even taking Vladivostok wouldnt have caused them to capitulate

Main reason being is that Russia is basically impossible to invade from the east because Russias borders were set up with that in mind.
Japan could take what few towns there are in the east, but due to Russias lack of warm water ports and land based transport being times more expensive, you'd be doing the Russian economy a favour as they'd no longer have to spend more than its worth to transport supplies to said towns. A problem that still plagues Russia today.

They did.And got fucked.

How would they accomplish that?
As soon as there was any serious threat from the east the soviets would just sabotage the infrastructure and the japanese would basically be stuck in siberia.

Invade and conquer what, miles and miles of endless tundra?
I'm convinced the only reason Russia bothers with that land is just so no one else can have it, and not because the land is of any use.

Soviet was stronger than China and Japs thought they have to attack America for oil to keep imperialism and then got fucked

Russia is practically one of the the hardest places to invade on this planet. This has been proven time and time again throughout the history.

Thousands of miles of frozen forest.
Trying to beat Russia is like punching a 400kg American in the gut.

They can't cycle through the snow?
Japs prefer fighting in warm jungle climate?
Attacking colonies would be easier?
