Russian aristocrat, diplomat and adventurer Nikolai Rezanov dreamed of making California a Russian province. And these were not empty words, not projects, but a completely realistic scenario of the development of events.
After participating in the first Russian circle, the embassy visit to Japan and the difficult winter in Alaska, Rezanov went to San Francisco. He managed to gain the trust of Spanish officials and even engage in the daughter of the commandant of the fortress, but his grandiose plans were not destined to come true.
From the sparkling court of Catherine the Great to the debate of the New World, Owen Matthew draws a portrait of one of the most eccentric builders of the Russian Empire
