These were completely different in nature, habits, aspirations and lifestyle people. Miliated by the experience of the case, the owner of the huge trading empire and the owner of the enormous state Grigory Shelikhov. Desperate marine officers, very young people whose life and death seemed to have left the pages of an adventure novel- Nikolai Khvostov and Gabriel Davydov. A man who devoted his life to serving God and people is Hieromonk Gideon. All these people are united by one thing - their fate is connected with Russian America. The history of Russian America is more than two centuries, saturated with a wide variety of events, discoveries, achievements, and the glorious names of pioneers, travelers, entrepreneurs who created this story. Shelikhov was primarily an industrialist and a merchant, and at the same time, the expeditions for Alaska, the island of Kadiak and to other places gave the most valuable material for science. Khvostov and Davydov searched for glory and wanted to make a military career, but their swimming enriched the geography with numerous discoveries. Hieromonk Gideon was called to take care of the souls of people- and surprisingly found time for ethnographic research, which allowed to better know the life and life of the indigenous inhabitants of North America. And therefore, the page is turned upside down, it is rich in many glorious events, and the memory of them will remain forever. After all, as the poet said: "Columbia Ross, despising the gloomy rock, will be opened to the east between the ice, and our power will reach America, and glory will reach all the ends. These words of the great Lomonosov were addressed to Grigory Shelikhov, but they can be said about Gabriel Davydov, and about Hieromonk Gideon, and about all those who opened, studied and mastered Russian America
