АЛЯСКА: Кто и зачем продал золотые горы. Ново-Архангельск.

Why did Russia sell Alaska to the US? Was it a mistake, a calculated move, or an inevitability? In this historical video, we debunk myths about Catherine the Great, the 99-year lease, and "missing money," discussing the Russian-American Company, sea otters, Fort Ross, Sitka, the Crimean War, and the diplomacy of Alexander II, Steckl, and Seward. The visuals are complemented by paintings and images: The Signing of the Alaska Purchase Treaty by Emanuel Leutze, Fort Ross, views of Sitka, Caspar David Friedrich's "Sea of ​​Ice," and Albert Bierstadt's northern landscapes. #history #Alaska #Russia #USA #RussianAmerica #AlexanderII #historicalvideo #documentary
