When Yeltsin was president Russia was poor. The Japanese Prime Minister corresponded with Yeltsin and met several times. Maybe it was because Japan thought Russia needed economic help. So he might think about negotiating the land. May want to buy some islands to belong to Japan. But when news was released A majority of the Russian public has signaled their disapproval. This caused Japan and Russia to remain silent on the matter. The Russians themselves have experience in the matter of the state of Alaska. which is a state with an area of 1,717,856 police kilometers (3 times larger than Thailand) in the past Alaska belonged to Russia, but in 1867 Russia sold Alaska to the United States while William H. Seward was Secretary of State. at a price of 2 cents per acre, a total of only 7.2 million US dollars. Those who have been criticized by the Russians until today are Tsar Alexander II decided to sell Alaska to the United States. After selling it, he was attacked by the people, saying that he was not patriotic. I don’t love the people. Sell the land to get money to support the institution and the royal family. Americans also don’t like buying Alaskan land. To the point where news was released that Russian diplomats bribed U.S. officials to allow the United States to purchase Alaska. Americans at the time opposed the purchase of the state of Alaska. The purchase of the state was referred to as Seward’s Folly or ‘Seward’s Folly’. Many referred to Alaska as Seward’s Icebox or ‘Seward’s Icebox’. At the time, Alaska was in the care of the US War Department. Americans shouted insults at Seward for only a few years, in 1896, gold was discovered in Alaska. Oh, this time Americans turned around to come see Seward. that he is a minister with a vision Americans migrated to Alaska in large numbers to find gold. The U.S. Congress fully recognized Alaska as the 49th state of the United States on January 3, 1959, upon immigration to Alaska. Americans found that Alaska’s coastline is teeming with aquatic life, and the land is rich in minerals, forests, and fresh water. Later oil and natural gas exploration has been discovered. Making Alaska a state that creates wealth for the U.S. Some people assume that the land of the U.S. and Russia are far apart. In fact, they are close to each other. Just 53 km across the Bering Strait from Alaska’s Prince of Wales Peninsula is Russia’s Cape Dezhnev. In the past, Siberian people walked across to Alaska. It can be seen that the original native people of the United States and Canada in this area were Mongoloid people with black hair, similar to Asians. various cultural traditions and many spoken languages Many sentences of indigenous people in both Alaska and the United States. And some parts of Siberia are similar. In the past, Russia didn’t produce enough wheat to eat. After Putin encouraged clearing of land Turning Siberian forests into agricultural land Russia became a country capable of producing enough wheat for the entire country’s consumption. In addition, there is still wheat left for export, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization’s 2022 data. Russia exports 14.5 million tons of wheat, producing more than Argentina (9 million tons), Germany (7 million tons), Romania and India (6 million tons). Putin’s Russian government is currently investing in improving infrastructure. Build both roads and the construction of Ban Paeng Muang. Support free land Provide interest-free loans or low interest to invest in agriculture in Siberia due to Russia’s alliance with China Help each other in matters of natural resources. China is a producing country. It has the most factories in the world. It requires a lot of oil and natural gas. Now there is an oil pipe connection. Natural gas pipeline from Russian Siberia to China This gives China stability in terms of energy. Energy is traded in rubles and yuan even though the United States and the West have sanctioned Russia and bullied China over import tariffs. But both countries did not collapse into disaster like the United States and the West wanted.
