Russian America. Glory and shame

On April 4, 1866, a member of the secret revolutionary circle of Karakozov shot at Alexander II. If he was a well -aimed shooter, it is possible that Russian America would forever remain Russian. But, alas, we lost America. In March 1867, we sold Alaska and Fort Ross on the banks of gold -bearing California. For funny money, for $ 7,200,000. In addition, we sold and betrayed all those who, not sparing strength, and sometimes life, torn the veins, starved and froze, fought and died by no means in the hope of a generous reward. Most of their glorious names are completely forgotten in today"s Russia. And even when they remember this today, all kinds of stupid myths that have nothing to do with a real historical past.
