Various sources I've read refer to Baranov as Governor of Russian America, not just as a manager for the Russian-American Company. I'll be back with sources, but one for sure about that is in Andrei Grinev's book, linked at Talk:Oblast#What was Russian America?. Definitely also in British-side sources like BCGNIS and Alexander Begg's writings on the Alaska boundary dispute. Skookum1 ( talk) 21:35, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
The language in this article seems biased in favor of the Russian-American Company's point of view. The paragraph referencing the Russian missionaries should include a link to Saint Herman of Alaska and perhaps include material from his point of view. Additionally, the "advocation of educational opportunities" may be seen as positive from one point of view, but some Alaska Natives see this as an attack on their culture.
