Abstract

Russian possessions in North America recognized Alaska, Alexander archipelago, Aleutian islands as well as settlements of the Pacific coast (Ross fortress and Elizabeth fortress). Several decades before the conclusion in 1867 of the Russian Empire and the United States Agreement on the cession of Russian possessions, the Russian state owned territories in North America, which later turned out to be «gold-bearing». The management of these territories was carried out through a special Colonial trade Russian-American company. The material formulates the concept of legal
liability. The immediate purpose of legal liability was to punish the off ender. Types of punishment for several offenses and crimes committed by residents of the Russian North-American possessions are reflected.
