It doesn’t matter if Russia sold it. The land was still an administrative colony designed for resource extraction. Neither Russia or the US have any reasonable claim to Alaska.
Also even if Alaska wasn’t sold, there would be no way it would remain as an SSR. It would have been quickly invaded and annexed by the United States or Canada during the Revolution or Russian Civil War.
Plus Russia sold the land to the US in 1867 because Britain and Canada were preparing for a land invasion due to Russia being weakened after the Crimean War. Russia would not have been able to defend and supply their Alaskan holdings, and it would have been an almost certain loss. Hence why Russia sold Alaska to the United State for an extremely cheap price extremely quickly.
