Russia's Alaska

[drewan]

Today in History:
Alaska: was acquired by the US from Russia (1867)

Wow... what would the world be like if Russia hadn't sold Alaska to the US? Sure could have made the cold war interesting!

Yes, but if Russia (or USSR during the cold war era) owned Alaska, that would have given them significant property in North America. Could they have chosen to move a large amound of population to Alaska just to make in impact or statement?
