Fort Ross may lose its ties with Russia: California authorities did not renew the agreement with Fort Ross Conservancy
The agreement between Fort Ross State Historic Park in California and the nonprofit organization Fort Ross Conservancy expired on November 3, 2026, and state authorities refused to renew it. The organization, which worked with the park for more than 50 years, fears the loss of ties with Russia, the Russian diaspora and the Orthodox Church. The park will continue to operate.
