The memorial was vandalized,[1] and then was relocated to the Sitka Historical Society and Museum in Harrigan Centennial Hall on September 29, 2020.[2] 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.[3]
