ALASKA - Anchorage International Rotary Club, a local host working with Open World grantee Rotary International, hosted a group of Russian media professionals July 21-Aug. 4, 2007, in part to commemorate the 200th year of Russian-American diplomatic relations. The delegates hailed from Vladivostok and St. Petersburg. The St. Petersburg delegates from Channel TV-100 produced an hour-long documentary called “Looking for Russian Alaska” that aired during prime time in November and December 2007 in the St. Petersburg metro area. The film depicts a strong Russian and American bond that continues to grow. “Looking for Russian Alaska” also emphasizes that Alaska is proud of its Russian heritage. “Looking for Russian Alaska” will be available with English subtitles soon.
