' Having returned home, Крузенштерн was going to present the slip to the president Коммерц of board of item. Item. Соймонову (...) ... As it(he) has put forward idea about a parcel(sending) of expedition(dispatch) Муловского, Крузенштерн hoped to find in his(its) person of the adherent ... (...) However Соймонов has left for Moscow and soon has died ' [Пасецкий In. М.].
Speaking about the project And. Ф. Крузенштерна, In. M. Пасецкий marks:
' It(he) is no casual was perceived(recognized) by the contemporaries as памфлет. Maximum сановные of the person of St. Petersburg have not risked completely to report about записках And. Ф. Крузенштерна neither Павлу I, nor Александу I - they were so dangerous by the liberty of ideas. Moreover, they were withdrawn from the documents of government agencies and for the first time are found out in personal archive of the seafarer, when the materials for the scientific biography And were going. Ф. Крузенштерна ' [Пасецкий In. М.].
Here is how describes In. M. Пасецкий that text of the project, which was found out in personal archive of the seafarer: ' ' a Slip to the minister of commerce Соймонову, written onboard a vessel "'Bombay" under a team Гамильтона, with the project of organization of Russian expedition(dispatch) in interests of development of trade and enrichment of the country '. The document represents писарскую a copy of the manuscript in French with editing Крузенштерна (ЦГАВМФ, ф. 14, on. 1, д. 22) ' [Пасецкий In. М.].
' The Project of supply Russian североамериканских колоний by a sea way through two oceans was submitted to government by the minister of commerce, графом Николаем Петровичем Румянцевым, known state figure of epoch Александра I ' [Дмитрашко Н. В.].

Alaska - And лиска - And лузка ...
Русско the American company - креативность and exotic in the bureaucratic Order. A product of unusual activity of the emperor Павла I.
I shall bring - almost completely - clause from Large Soviet Энциклопеции (БСЭ) (1969-1978):
' РОССИЙСКО the AMERICAN COMPANY, trade association founded 8 July (19 1799 in Russia with the purposes of development of territories of Russian America, Kuril and other islands. The company had government in Irkutsk, with 1800 - in St. Petersburg. All crafts and minerals which are taking place in these territories, right were given in exclusive usage it(her) to organize expeditions(dispatch), to borrow(occupy) again open grounds and to trade with the next countries. In territories of Russian possession in America a number(line) of constant settlements was created, the ship-building shipyards, workshops etc. In 1804-40 Р. and are constructed. To. With assistance of Russian government has organized 25 expeditions(dispatches), including 15 round-the-world (And. Ф. Крузенштерна, Ю. Ф. Лисянского etc.), has made research works on Alaska, participated in settling about. Of Sakhalin and Приамурского of edge(territory). The main government of the company with 1824 was located in the house ?72 on Мойке in St. Petersburg. Here frequently passed assemblies чл. Sowing. About ва декабристов. In this house lived To. Ф. Рылеев, serving in 1824-25 governor of businesses Р. and. To. For years of existence of the company the geography and ethnography of Russian America (m was studied. Д. Тебеньков, In. With. Хромченко, And. To. Этолин, And. Ф. Кашеваров, Л. And. Загоскин, And.. Вознесенский etc.). The company promoted introduction in a number(line) of areas хлебопашества, огородничества, cattle breeding '.
Having read these phrases, it would be desirable playfully to comment: ' what that government ... What for government? And where noblemen, where крепостные? '
And similar clause from БСЭ (1926-1947) adds: ' In 1812 near a bay Сан Франциско Russian settlement Росс was based. In 1816-18 Российско the American trade company did(made) attempt to locate on the Hawaiian islands '.
As that is difficult is to imagined a comedy Гоголя By(with) 'auditor) or poem ' Dead souls ' with reference to Сан Франциско or to the Hawaiian islands. Предположу, as prompt Хлестаков, and profound in a task Чичиков after multiday time travel overland and sea (or only on the sea) would arrive on destination absolutely by other people (' where are carried, bird парусник? Give the answer! '). And in a settlement Росс or on the Hawaiian islands they (Хлестакова and Чичикова) would be met at all by(with) those people, which appear in products Н. Гоголя.
But you see not all at once, at first is necessary to understand. The actions(share), the furs, incomes ... At the beginning, like, has increased of prestige ... Firstly all looked attractively.
And Александр I began government with good hopes and plans.
In general(common), the future was solar.
As far as the circle of questions connected to organization of the first round-the-world expedition(dispatch) was complex(difficult) it is possible to make a conclusion, for example, of the following fragments.
' Александр I has created ' Committee of formation(education) of fleet ' and as the chairman has nominated not Мордвинова, and in peak to it(him) дряхлого the column Александра Воронцова, brother of the ambassador in England. King has given committee the order - ' to define(determine) any excess, to result all in possible(probable) brevity and clearness '.
Up to what додумался Воронцов, any day not served on fleet?
' For many reasons physical and local Russia cannot be among первенствующих sea having held. Yes in that neither need, nor advantage(benefit) is not expected. Direct power and force ours should be in overland armies ... '
(...)
Winter London has met unfriendly. Воронцов already knew about the purpose of his(its) arrival and has considered this coldly.
Whether - Early have taken in head тягаться with the educated seafarers, mercy государь? - skeptically has made Воронцов. - British мореходы, similar Куку, многоопытны and the knowledge have great. Russia and courts decent(considerable) has no ' [Фирсов And. И.].
But the project of the first round-the-world navigation was approved by the emperor Александром I, and нижестоящие the officials cancel this project could not. Have not cancelled it(him) and objective circumstances (as it has taken place at Екатерине II).
Let's make some remarks concerning the attitude(relation) of the emperor Александра I to round-the-world expedition(dispatch) holding during 1803-1806 years.
Александр I in connection with a direction and returning of expedition(dispatch) behaved as the man of wide sights and rather adequately.
In first, has approved the project and promoted a direction of expedition(dispatch).
In second, has agreed with purpose(assignment) by the chiefs of the ships of those seamen (And. Ф. Крузенштерна and Ю. Ф. Лисянского), which were capable to consult(cope) with the put task - to bypass around of light.
In third, equipment of one of courts has accepted on the account.
