That lease ended in 1957.” [...] when the lease ran out in 1957, the US offered “a very good sum” to extend it. “But Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev,” who had already in current Russian thinking given away Crimea to Ukraine, “gave [Alaska] to America,” and it then became the 49th US state.[...] It then asserts that “thanks to the non-interference of Russia, the separation of the colonies from England took place,” a description of the American Revolutionary War with which few would find much in common with reality.
