The first [[Russian colonization of the Americas|Russian colony]] in Alaska was established in 1784 by merchant [[Grigory Shelikhov]]. Shelikhov's attempt to colonize Kodiak Island was met with resistance by the native population. He returned to Russia and installed [[Alexandr Baranov]] as director of the colony. In order to convince the Russian imperial court of the seriousness of his colonial ambitions, Shelikhov recruited volunteers from the [[Valaam Monastery|Valaam]], an environment that appears strikingly similar to the Kodiak archipelago's landscape, and [[Konevsky Monastery|Konevitsa]] [[monastery|monasteries]] to travel to the new colony.<ref name="stokoe">Stokoe, Mark and Leonid Kishkovsky.
