Alaska, discovered by a Russian expedition led by M. Gvozdev and I. Fedorov in 1732, was the possession of Russia in North America. Initially, it was developed by private individuals, and, starting in 1799, by a specially established monopoly. The document came into force a little less than six months later - in October it was ratified by the Russian Governing Senate.
