Dude, I did _not_ know that Russians had colonies in America. I mean, sure, if you think about it, Alaska is a duh; but Fort Ross in Sonoma County? = krepost rus. How did I not know that?! (yes, someone was trawling Wikipedia today)

Also, for those of you who learned geography with a side of crime-solving, Where the F*ck is Carmen Sandiego? Ahahaha, I wish there were more!

Love the vid :)

as for Russians in Calif? yup - somewhat of a surprise... less of a surprise that little detail would have been hidden carefully.

Well, yeah, I know there are Russians in California _now_. But I didn't know they were here, like, way back then, before California was California. Or maybe it was always California... Anyway, the Mexicans were concerned enough about it that they told the friars running the missions, "Dudes, get up to Monterey liek now and stop the Russki invasion." Or something like that.
