Fort Ross is still there as a California State Historic Park. It was occupied as a settlement from 1812-1842. The fort was the southernmost Russian outpost on the west coast of North America. My guess is the tsar might not have abandoned it if it had remained active until 1849 and the discovery of gold in the Sierra.

As far as a claim goes, I’m reminded of how my dog claims various bushes every time he takes a walk. Thirty years is nothing. Putin can pound sand. What an asshole.
