Back when the AMERICAS (North & South) were open to colonization by European countries, the Russians did so too. However, Russia is much closer to the West coast of the Americas, and far to the north, so that is where Russia had colonies. This is why Seward purchased Alaska from the Russians.
Countries of Western Europe tended to colonize those areas closest to them, so that was typically the East coast of the Americas. Spain was quite successful in Central & South America (Portugal too).
Russian America ended in 1867.
Russian Orthodox Church in America was created in 1927.
"America" in Russian is "Америка" pronounced as "ah-MYE-ree-kah".
