In order to understand all the idiocy of the situation with the sale of the land of Alaska by Russia in favor of the American States, we will resort to an elementary historical analogy.

Only in this way is it possible to see the anecdotal nature of the situation in the canons of vulgar mercantilism.

Let us assume that we represent some descendants of the dynasty of the pharaohs who decided to buy the land of Jerusalem from the knight Gottfried of Bouillon.

In the year 1099, for example.

We or our representatives would have to negotiate and buy 20 million hectares of land from the designated Seller.

Technically, it would have to pay 1,000 tons of gold, or so, to a few specific French castles. It didn’t make much sense to take the gold across the deserts to the merchant in the city of Jecrusalm.

As you can see.

We would issue a promissory note to the Sire Knights with the obligation to pay in due time with gold bullion or coins.

Such a commitment at that time could be fulfilled only by the knights of the tombs of the Lord.

You mean the Knights Templar.

Okay... We draw up a bill of sale, hand over the promissory note, seal off the land, and observe the movement of valuables from North Africa to the ports of Occitania. With 30 ships. As an option.

Further on the wagons, accompanied by a thousand knights.

Well, Ser Gottfried has the promissory note, and the gold has never reached the castles of Europe. Let\'s say 900 tons "did not reach".

There was no telegraph, and the loss of gold would have been known in a month by pigeon mail.

Be sure.

In this case, the deal would be recognized as a sham and we would not be happy with the “pharaonic offspring.

The very fate of the development of the Mediterranean would follow a different scenario.

Be sure!

What an affront. Jerusalem could never be ours. Deleted.

No gold, no Jerusalem.

So why, in a similar situation, having received from the U.S. government a promissory note of 7.200.The Russian Empire and its legal successors considered the land of Alaska legally sold.

There is no gold from England in favor of the Russian treasury, there is no sale.

The account mode and the document flow itself are important, but secondary.

The Good Will of the Payer.

And no other way! 

The bill should be considered an empty paper. Just like that...
