1898: Klondike Gold Rush

Up to 100 thousand people tried to reach Klondike during the Gold Rush in 1897-1898, 30-40 thousand succeeded, but only about 4,000 managed to make money on gold.

Everything had to be carried, and there was a shortage in place: for example, salt was bought for golden sand at a weight of 1:1. According to estimates, prospectors spent several times the cost of the extracted gold on travel, supplies and tools, not including the cost of labor.

1867: North American United States buys Alaska from Russia

The agreement on the sale by Russia of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands was signed on March 30, 1867 in Washington.

On May 3, 1867, the treaty was signed by Emperor Alexander II. According to the treaty, the entire Alaska Peninsula, the Alexander Archipelago, the Aleutian Islands with Attu Island, the Near Islands, Rats, Foxes, Andreyanovsky, Shumagina, Trinities, Umnak, Unimak, Kodiak, Chirikova, Afognak and other smaller islands passed to the United States; islands in the Bering Sea: St. Lawrence, St. Matvey, Nunivak and the islands of Pribylov - St. George and St. Paul. Together with the territory of the United States of America, all property located in Russian possessions in Alaska and the islands was transferred.

On October 18 of the same year, a ceremony was held to officially transfer Russian America to the North American United States in exchange for a check worth $7.2 million in gold.

1790: Some young men on about. Unalashka play the role of girls in sexual traditions

Among the Aleuts of Unalashka Island, "sexual attraction degenerated into love for boys." This "pederasty" manifested itself in sexual acts with young people who were deliberately feminized in all respects and thus socially played the role of young girls. That is, they were dressed as women, their beards when they appeared were depilated; even the skin around their mouths was tattooed in a feminine manner.

Joseph Billings wrote about this around 1790. See "Geographical and astronomical journey to the northern regions of Russia and the exploration of the mouth of the Kovima River, the entire coast of Chukchi and the islands located between the mainland of Asia and America, undertaken on the orders of Empress Catherine II of Russia in 1785-1794 by Captain Joseph Billings and published on the original notes of Martin Sauer, secretary of the expedition." Translated from English, Berlin, 1802, p. 195.)

If we consider the report as a whole and do not take phrases out of context, then "pederasty" is inextricably linked with the (already partially secularized) regional institute of transsexual shamanism, wrote in 1991 Gisela Bleibtroy-Ehrenberg, Ph.D., ethnosociologist and publicist from Germany in her article "Pederasty among primitive peoples: institutionalized initiation and cult prostitution."
