Will the Russians consider just trying to slot into the existing trade system, it'll get them furs more easily than kidnapping families and impressing workers.
Not really their style, but they may have to.

You said they're doing better against the Ottomans, have other threats gotten stronger than OTL?
I can't wait to see what the Russians do in Alaska! It appears they are rather determined to conquer whatever they find there. I doubt it will be easy for them, however.
Probably, yeah. Moscow's a long, long way from Vladizapad, but the genie's out of the bottle.Hey, so, does RSMF eventually spread west to hit Russia?
Maybe? The incubation period is pretty long, about 2 weeks; so it can't cross the Atlantic, at least not in 16th-century vessels? (17th-century, though? IDK). And, unlike Tlogottl, the animal vector (ticks) aren't the kind of thing that end up on ships bound for Atlantic ports. So I'm thinking not, actually.Also, wouldn't it have spread to Europe by this point? It seems like by the mid-1500s in the BANWverse that the Spanish would be poking around enough in the Mississippian basin to contract the disease, you know, and someone would go back to Europe with it.
What about Old World diseases? Does Laxmann's group have some Old World diseases that they will spread to the Alaskan peoples?
