Russian-American Company / 俄美公司
The Russian-American Company appears in 120.蓝狐岛:伟大事业中的雄心与现实 as the later institutional consolidation of Russian commercial activity around Alaska / 阿拉斯加 and the North Pacific. The episode says that after disorder among private Russian companies, Paul I dissolved and merged them into the Russian-American Company.
The company is important here because it turns route discovery into resource governance and colonial extraction. Sea Otter / 海獭 skins, marine-animal depletion, conflict among companies, and the later judgment that Alaska had lost much of its fur value all become part of Exploration To Extraction Pipeline and Russian North Pacific Expansion.
