Really? 'Fortushka'?

I almost feel guilty giving our resplendently, unabashedly addled Sarah Palin any attention, but her recent use of an allegedly Russian word (video: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x35zvkn_sarah-palin-confounds-rachel-maddow-tell-me-what-this-means_news) had me googling like mad. The reference I finally found came in the form of a description of Fort Ross State Historic Park, on the Northern California coast. Fort Ross was a Russian outpost ~ its southernmost ~ in the early 1800s, built to supply Russian settlements in Alaska. According to this piece, the fortushka can be found in one of the residences built at the time and is a prime example of architectural ingenuity: http://www.neh.gov/humanities/2012/marchapril/feature/russian-dreams-american-colony
