The statue of Alexander Andreyevich Baranov located in Sitka, Alaska.

The memorial was vandalized, and then was relocated to the Sitka Historical Society and Museum in Harrigan Centennial Hall on September 29, 2020. Allegedly, Baranov oversaw the enslavement of Tlingit and Aleut people. The statue had previously been on outdoor public display and was removed amidst controversy by a 2020 vote of the Sitka town council.
