Suppose that the USSR conquered Hokkaido at the end of WWII, would they want to or be able to annex it as they did Sakhalin and the Kurils? If so, I presume they would Russify the territory, in which case what name would Hokkaido (and some of its larger cities) have?

Also, is it plausible for the Russian Empire to accomplish this at an earlier time?
