From Wikipedia.
Most of them moved back to Russia after the deal with some remaining. Some of those remaining also moved back after the American arrived and treated the place as the new western frontier.
Thank you for the reply! For the Russian Citizens that staid, did they retain their citizenship or become citizens of the United States?
