Groups Siberian russians crossed the Isthmus (now the Bering Strait) 16-10 thousand years ago.
Russian began to settle on the Arctic coast, Aleuts inhabited the Aleutian Archipelago.
First visited Alaska August 21, 1732, members of the team boat "St. Gabriel »under the surveyor Gvozdev and assistant navigator I. Fedorov during the expedition Shestakov and DI Pavlutski 1729-1735 years
Vote for secession of Alaska from the United States and joining Russia
No “F”ing way.
Not even a millionth of a percent, No, No, No.
No.
Will they settle the District of Columbia instead?
California will go to Mexico long before Alaskans vote to go to Russia.
If anything, this Alaska crap is just another attempt to inspire fear of Russia when our real concern with Russia lies south of the border.
They must have had a time machine, as the Rus weren't even around until the 800s, and I doubt the first Rus looked out on the Bering Sea for 700 years after that.
Then they really will see Russia from their house.
You have to admit - Obama has succeeded. The fundamental transformation of America is alive and well. There are over 8k signatures, so far, who apparently want Alaska to be handed back to Russia. Mind boggling.
However, I bet most everyone who voted for this reprobate didn’t get what they thought they were getting.
So they invaded Alaska back then. Motion denied.
A all of the infowars fans would highly approve.
I guess it depends on how many Russian language speakers are there.
That seems to be the prevailing theory of geopolitics in 2014.
Maybe Russia will attack Brighton Beach.
Let’s give them California and Massachusetts instead.
Also give them Detroit and Chicago, if they will take them...
You are correct and of course this is satire. Most Crimeans consider themselves to be Russian. Sadly, we are already at the stage where a significant number of California residents identify more as Mexicans than as Americans. The real problem we will have though will manifest itself in bankruptcy long before any secessionist activity takes place.
If Michigan was smart they’d encourage migration from Detroit to Chicago. At some point the tipping point would be reached and Michigan would be a GOP leaning state at the national level.
There is an interesting parallel with Crimea and California.
If we were to allow California to secede, we would retake the ports one way or another.
There is, and has been for a long time, a movement to succeed in AK, but NOT to join Russia!
