Answer
No, Schäffer did not successfully conquer Hawaii for the Russian Empire. While he managed to explore the islands and make contact with the natives, he was unable to establish a permanent settlement. This was due in part to the fact that the Russians were not able to bring enough supplies with them, and also because the natives were not interested in trading with them.
