Scenarios about 'Russian America'
Russian America refers to Russia's colonial possessions in North America from 1732 to 1867, primarily in what is now Alaska and extending briefly into California and Hawaii. This territory was administered by the Russian-American Company, which established settlements for fur trading and Orthodox missionary work before being sold to the United States in the Alaska Purchase. In alternate history scenarios, Russian America often serves as a point of divergence for exploring continued Russian presence in North America or different geopolitical developments in the Pacific Northwest.
