The theory that the US stole Russia from Alaska in 1867 has been pervasive for decades.
Alaska locals write for the Trump Putin Summit on Peace in Ukraine
Locals in Alaska are writing for the Trump Putin Summit as hopes and doubts arise in peace talks in Ukraine.
Back in 1991, the once-fighting Soviet Union fell apart, and Westerners cheered, Vladimir Putin’s favorite rock and roll band released “Don’t Faquel Around, America.”
This resilient, accordion-led single ignored the misguided collapse of the Soviet dictatorship, instead pointing out the listener 2.4 miles eastward and the 49th US state across the Bering Strait:
“Please return us Alaska/ Give us dear Native American land.”
Now, as President Donald Trump prepares to host Vladimir Putin at a military base in Alaska, the song by Ruba (the loudest) of the Loubble Louz Rocker has resurfaced the resurfaced by a conspiracy theory claiming that his uncle Sam had scam his mother Russia from a 665,000 square mailed Alabama gem.
Russia America
Andrei Zunamansky, a history professor at the University of Memphis, said that during the conflict in which nationalists evoked betrayal of Russia in the 19th century and the Soviet Empire in the 20th century, Alaskan plots, when long-standing Russian plots became prominent in Russia during the conflict, became prominent in Russia.

Such a speech has been “amplified” during the Ukrainian War and the Trump Putin Summit on August 15th, Zunamansi told USA Today.
“It turns out that Russian Americans weren’t sold to the US. The actual events were completely different,” the Russian news outlet recently wrote, explaining the alternative, and historians say that Russia’s allegedly claimed Dominion in Alaska was simply leased to the US and expired long, and is wrong.
“Subtle act”
The first permanent Russian reconciliation in Alaska was founded in 1784, and today’s state still preserves a small number of Russian orthodox churches. Some Aleutians continue to practice an integrated combination of orthodox Christianity and shamanism, Zunamansky said.
However, after the defeat of Russia at the hands of the British in the Crimean War of 1854-56, Emperor Nicholas II decided to reduce his losses and abandon Alaska, which was difficult to defend. The UK, which controlled Canada, had a focus on its rich territory, so Nicholas sold it for $7 million and sold it to the US, a low-fighting bidder.
“It was malicious” act against England, Znamenski said.
Nicholas is not forgiven by the nationalist writer, but some of them see him as a trick of Masonic and Jewish plots. One author, Ivan Milonov, wrote his 2007 book, “A Destiny’s Trade: How Alaska Was Sold.”
Paradise Lost
Alaska and Crimea remain linked in several ways today, both of which are lost by weak leaders – Yeltsin, the first president of independent Russia, recognized Crimea as part of Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
In 2016, two years after Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine, a black granite monument commanded future generations and grew up in the sailor’s square in Yevpatria in the Black Sea city. “We returned Crimea.
“Siberia and Alaska are the same on two coasts,” sang Ruba. “Women, horses, thrills along the way.”
The music video for the song begins with an animated machine gun cutting Alaska from the North American continent. (The lead singer of Liuba was later elected to the Russian parliament or Dumas as a member of Putin’s United Russian Party.)
Everything or nothing
For most Russian nationalist intellectuals, Alaska is no more of a recovery gem than a warning of concessions to the West. Alexander Duguin, the leading far-right intellectual of the Russian “Eurasians” who are closely associated with Putin, often poses the example of Alaska.
Duguin, whose adult daughter was killed in a 2022 car bombing that denounced the Ukrainian Secret Service, was fatally serious in discussing the Alaska Summit stakes in a recent article.
“President Putin has repeatedly admitted that the West never maintains its words and is constantly deceiving and distorting.
“For Trump, it’s a deal for our destiny,” Duguin said. “Ukraine is ours or nothing at all.”
