From 9 July 1799 to 18 October 1867 Alaska and adjacent Islands were under the control
The Russian-American company. The fighting in the far East during the Crimean war showed absolute
the vulnerability of the Eastern lands of the Russian Empire and especially Alaska. In order not to lose the gift of the territory.
The signing of the contract of sale of Alaska was held on 30 March 1867 in Washington. With an area of 1 million 519 thousand km2 was sold
for 7.2 million dollars in gold.Only in our time, it remains unclear what happened to 7.2 million dollars in gold? And our Russian Alaska remains occupied territory USA 148 years.
And I encourage all of you to the historical equity return Alaska to the Russian Federation.
