Explain in a paragraph why many russian orthodox churches are found in alaska

Russia originally colonized Alaska,it only became a U.S.state in the early-1950s.

Tsar of Russia depended on the Churches to make his subjects believe that he was the one chosen by God himself to sit on the throne and so he built many Russian Orthodox Churches all over Russia.He built churches in Alaska too, which was once a part of Russia.

Explanation:

It was the Tsar's endeavor to make his subjects believe that he wasn't just a descendant but was the one chosen by God. He feared that if the people come to know that he was just another ordinary human being, they would overthrow his rule and he would lose all that he had. To avoid this from happening, he built many of what are called the Russian Orthodox Churches all over Russia and also in Alaska and influenced the clergies to make people believe that their ruler was chosen for them by God himself.
