Explore a fascinating alternate timeline where Russia never sold Alaska to the United States in 1867. This meticulously researched documentary examines how this single diplomatic decision could have reshaped global geopolitics, creating a unique hybrid society called "New Russia" along North America's northwestern coast.

Journey through an alternate history where the Klondike Gold Rush, World Wars, and the Cold War unfold in dramatically different ways. Discover how this Russian-American-Native Alaskan society might have developed its own distinctive culture, language, and technological innovations while navigating complex relationships with both the Soviet Union and United States.

From the emergence of a constitutional monarchy following the Russian Revolution to a three-sided Cold War standoff, witness how geography, resources, and cultural fusion create an unprecedented alternate history. This compelling "what if" scenario illuminates how seemingly straightforward decisions can cascade through centuries, transforming global politics, economics, and culture in unexpected ways.

Learn how the modern Arctic race—driven by climate change, resource competition, and opening shipping lanes—might look vastly different in a world where Russian America survived and thrived as an independent nation at the crossroads of East and West.
