Summary

Greetings, Comrades!

Obviously, I wasn’t going to tackle all of Russian Alaska in one episode. Because the subject is so huge, that it involves ALL of Russian Empire’s colonial policy. So, for this reason, have one of the darkest ep’s on the show, about how and why I’m not gonna use any Soviet sources in these series. And I also try to give voices to the unheard people’s of the Russian empire. Enjoy!

0:29.2	Thank you. Greetings, comrades, and welcome to the eastern border.
0:34.2	And we will be dealing with Russian Alaska today.
0:39.8	But before we do that, we have to take a look at Russian Siberia, because that's how they expanded towards Russian Alaska, and that's a story in its own. And I've acquired myself

0:53.3	and I took the liberty to use original sources in going through a lot of this. And I took the liberty to use
0:56.5	original sources in Russian for a lot of this stuff, but where other things will come in,
1:02.0	then I will mention them, obviously. That's kind of the interesting part of all the situation,
1:07.6	because I read the book on Russian Alaska and understood that
1:12.1	before we even go there, we need to talk about Russian Siberia and what they did there
1:19.3	and how they even moved towards Alaska.
1:22.6	And I think it's very interesting to take a look at how various people wrote about this and what's been the traditional
1:29.3	look from the western part of this. For example, I am going to quote our James Ferguson here
1:36.0	from his 2008 lectures where he spoke about international relations and I'm going to be using
1:42.4	his lecture 7. So I'm being the Russian Far East and the future land. I'm going to be using his lecture 7, So be the Russian Far East and the Future Land.
1:46.5	I'm going to be looking at some Russian emigre articles from the UK,
1:52.5	who are very critical on the situation.
1:55.2	We'll start with that even.
1:56.5	We'll be looking at a paper by Peter C.B. Armstrong from Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia,
