The Golden Age of Catherine II was marked by the strengthening and expansion of Russian borders. Europe is already cramped for the Great Empress, it fixes its eyes for the southern seas, reluctantly listening to reports about immense and unknown eastern lands.
Siberian merchant Grigory Shelikhov equips a small flotilla for the development of Alaska, as he sincerely believes that this business may be useful for the empire. Severe sea transitions, severe wintering, skirmishes with the local population were not the most difficult test on the way to a great goal. It was much more difficult to maneuver among the icebergs of political intrigues, bypassing the endless offices of officials and close associates of Catherine. The fate of the northeastern company would have remained unenviable if it were not for the happy case and determination of Shelikhov to reach the end of the chosen path
