Colonia rusească din California: Istoria ascunsă a Fort Ross

Before the formation of the United States, Russian settlers established a colony in California, known as Fort Ross, which played a significant role in the region's history. The Russians sought agricultural land and trade opportunities, leading to interactions with Spanish settlers. Fort Ross served as a base for Russian expansion and trade until its decline in the mid-19th century. After being sold to John Sutter, the site has since become a historical landmark, with renewed interest in its Russian heritage amid contemporary geopolitical tensions.
