Under the command of Aleksei Chirikov, the second ship discovered the shores of the northwestern America (Aleksander Archipelago of present-day Alaska).
These voyages of Bering and Chirikov were a major part of the Russian exploration efforts in the North Pacific known today as the Great Northern Expedition.

The fall of the Soviet Union and resulting flood of documents and information have resulted in the revelation of story after story of incredible courage and faith within one of the most oppressive regimes ever created in the history of humankind.
In the Gulag Archipelago he writes "Your soul, which formerly was dry, now ripens from suffering.
And even if you haven't come to love your neighbors in the Christian sense, you are at least learning to love those close to you." One gets the sense from Solzhenitsyn that his witnessing first hand the strong faith of these prisoners turned his life around as well.

Pasternak was accused of subjectivism and aestheticism, but Stalin's respect of Pasternak, who did not die in the Gulag Archipelago, remains one of the mysteries of the Soviet dictator's behavior, who even took time to correct L.M. Leonov's Russian Forest with a red pencil.
According to a famous story, he had once a telephone conversation with Stalin, who asked whether he was present when a lampoon about himself, Stalin, was recited by Mandel'shtam.
