Don't hold your breath.Money is dust. Actually, its not really about money and never have been. Russia sold Alaska (with all its gold) to the USA mostly to counterweight the British Empire. Russia was not able to keep it (when that amount of gold was found), so selling it to the USA (and make them stronger) was lesser evil than lose Alaska to Canada, and make the Brits stronger.
May be, in future the USA will decide that it is lesser evil to sell Alaska back to Russia to counterweight Chinese Canada and California.
