The Soviet Union was far more prepared than that. Russia still holds islands the soviets took over in that day. The Soviets could after all transfer troops from Europe to the coast of Japan in one train trip.
Any naval invasion would take time to prepare. I'm sure it would be much quicker than that, actually, knowing previous Russian advances.

The true beauty of a self-inquiring sentient universe is lost on those who elect to walk the intellectually vacuous path of comfortable paranoid fantasies.
