Russian Hill, known as Russkiy Kholm or Russkaya Gorka, is a neighborhood in San Francisco, California, USA. The name of the area is linked to the Gold Rush period when a small Russian cemetery was located at the top of the hill, which was later moved. It is believed that sailors and entrepreneurs from Fort Ross, located nearby San Francisco, were buried there.

In the first half of the 20th century, the area was populated by immigrants from the Russian Empire, mainly Molokans. Ilf and Petrov mention them in their book "One-Story America," where they describe visiting Russkaya Gorka and its residents in 1936.

Lombard Street, located in this area, is known as "the crookedest street in the world." The Russian consulate was also located here, which was closed in 2017.

The establishment of an official representation of the Russian Empire in San Francisco was associated with the activities of the Russian-American Company. The first vice-consul of the Russian Empire in the city was entrepreneur William Montgomery Stewart, whose appointment was confirmed on February 14, 1852.

On April 6, 1915, Artemiy Vydovtsev was appointed as the consul general in San Francisco. He held this position until the February Revolution of 1917, becoming the last consul general of the Russian Empire in the city.
