There had been a war between the USA and Russia at one point, that for sure.

Russian sold Alaska mainly because they weren't able to defend it if a war took place. So they would probably loose it far before cold war took place.
Even if russian would have keep alaska, it's not easy to colonyze the place. It might even be a burden for russia (back in the time) and create more problems than opportunity.

Russia would probably get attacked by the Anglosphere at some point.

During the Russian Revolution, Alaska would have declared independence from the Russian Empire to become the "Republic of New Archangel". Afterward, there would have been an invasion by the Reds, sort of like the Chinese control of Taiwan. America would have definitely gotten into a hot war with the USSR.
you can use Google maps and compare (Alaska vs. Kamchatka) how it would looks like, google street view, this Russian (or Ukrainian - don't remember) did that already

Kamchatka hasn´t oil, that´s not a fair comparasion, you should compare Alaska with Norway.

If (unlikely) in 1918 Alaska still were Russian, during Russian civil war it would become an easy target for a foregn military intervention. Much more easy than other parts of Russia which were actually temporarily occupied in that time.
