A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Foreign Ministry on the planned re-opening of talks with Japan over the disputed Kuril Islands during the next fortnight states that Russian diplomats were stunned after being told by their Japanese counterparts that upwards of 40 million of their peoples were in extreme danger of life threatening radiation poisoning and could very well likely be faced with forced evacuations away from their countries eastern most located cities including the worlds largest one, Tokyo.

Not all of it is bullshit. The assertion that talks over the Kuril Islands are re-opening, in fact it cites a fairly reliable source:
http://english.ruvr.ru/2012_04_13/71656029/
Chair of the Japanese Democratic Party’s Political Council Seiji Maehara is set to visit Moscow from April 29 to May 4 to discuss a range of territorial issues with Russia’s Foreign Ministry and the Federal Assembly. Coming ahead of Vladimir Putin’s inauguration as President, this visit can initiate a new round of talks on the disputed sovereignty of the Kuril Islands.
Seiji Maehara is a former Foreign Minister of Japan, who last year vied to head the country’s leading Democratic Party, a tenure which is largely regarded as a springboard for the Japan’s Prime Minister post. In his visit, the Japanese politician is obviously going to explore the ground under Vladimir Putin’s pledge to resume territorial talks, which both encouraged and baffled the Japanese.
At the March 2 meeting with editors-in-chief of leading Western newspapers, Putin referred to the Kuril islands dispute, saying that the two sides, like judoists, should show resolve in making steps towards each other to reach a compromise, not just to win. “It’s a kind of ‘hikki-waki,’ meaning a ‘draw’,” he said.
“If we want a hikki-waki, the two islands isn’t enough,” editor-in-chief of the prominent Asahi Shimbun newspaper Yoshibumi Wakamiya parried, obviously referring to the Soviet promise to give Japan two of the four disputed islands under the Declaration of 1956.
I'm not so sure about the population transfer stuff, and I personally don't think it has anything to do with Fukushima. But, it is not "conspiracy theory bullshit" that Akio Matsumura stated that Fukushima could result in "an event capable of extinguishing all life on Earth". Essentially he was talking about in a worst case scenario, radioactive fallout going up into the air, water, and into the ground without containment. Obviously it's extremely unlikely and debatable as to whether such a scenario could even happen though. 134 million curies worth of cesium 137 as Matsumura claims is certainly enough to do severe damage to any ecosystem.

The article is amping it up a bit in typical media sensationalist fashion, but you should be more critical and discerning than to just see prisonplanet.com linked and then just switch off. These talks really are happening, although I doubt it has anything to do with Fukushima.
Also, the claims about a Japanese plan to evacuate 40 million people appear to be unsourced. So my conclusion: talks over the Kuril Islands do appear to be resuming, but at this stage all we can say is just that it's an attempt by both parties to resolve an old lingering problem in the region. Claims that it's due to a Japanese plan to evacuate 40 million people to the islands, is unsourced and likely bullshit. So yes, there is some bullshit, but not all of it is.
