Looks like a church in Alaska.==

It is built by same builders:).

I saw recetly the TV report about Alaska. Surprisingly I saw that people there carries russian roots. They are ortodox. Use russian "banya" (bath). Even use many russian words in names or in speaking. They showed one man who spoke english with nice russian inclusions that the jornalists was stunned.

Many Alaskan Natives carry Russian surnames, especially along the lower Yukon River, coastal regions. Russian Orthodox missions, Orthodox churches, are preserved like historical sites, tourist attractions. If you travel to Anchorage you need to drive down the Kenai penninsula, although the traffic is heavy.
