Publisher Description: In Russian Colonization of Alaska, Andrei Val'terovich Grinėv examines the sociohistorical origins of the former Russian colonies in Alaska, or "Russian America," between 1741 and 1799. Beginning with the Second Kamchatka Expedition of Vitus Ivanovich Bering and Aleksei Ilyich Chirikov's discovery of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands and ending with the formation of the Russian-American Company's monopoly of the Russian colonial endeavor in the Americas, Russian Colonization of Alaskaoffers a definitive, revisionist examination of Tsarist Russia's foray into the imperial contest in North America. |
