Russia is Demanding Alaska and California Back From America

A Russian legislator wants the United States to hand up Alaska and California to Russia as American sanctions on the country tighten.

The crazy lawmaker also believes that the US should pay reparations to Russia to compensate for the harm caused by restrictions.

On Russian television, a member of the Duma, Oleg Matveychev, made a long list of requests for America.

These demands said that the United States should return Alaska to Russia and terminate the Fort Ross settlement in California.

The Russian Empire sold Alaska to the United States in 1867, and the Russian Empire also helped establish Fort Ross, which is 90 miles north of San Francisco.

Similarly, the congressman stated that the debilitating sanctions imposed by the US upon Russia should be reimbursed by the US through reparations.

He also appealed to America, stressing that any properties belonging to the Russian Empire, the former Soviet Union, and modern-day Russia that have been taken in the US should be restored immediately.

According to the State Department, the selling of Alaska brought the Russian empire’s settlement efforts and commerce expansion to the Pacific Coast of America to a close. For $7.2 million, the United States purchased Alaska from Russia.

Those opposed to the sale refer to it as “Seward’s Folly,” referring to William H. Seward, the then-Secretary of State, who desired America’s expansion and thus played a key part in completing the purchase.

The same was true at Fort Ross in California, where the Russian Empire established a settlement in 1812.
