We can't really see Russia from our house
Assuming you were serious and not just making a joke, it is not true that residents of mainland Alaska can see Russia. That was a joke made by Tina Fey while impersonating Sarah Palin. You certainly can't see Russia from Palin's home in Wasilla. You can see Big Diomede Island, which is Russian territory, from Little Diomede Island, which is well off the coast of mainland Alaska, but most of the Alaskan coast (including where I live on Kachemak Bay) is hundreds of miles from Russia.
