Rasputin

the long version

Gregori Rasputin is probably one of the best known, but least understood of the key figures in the events which ultimately led to the downfall of the Russian Tsars some nine decades ago. His political role as the power behind the throne is as much obscured today, as it was then, by the fascination with his morality and private life. Drawing on carefully documented historical research Bushkov sheds new light on Rasputin's life and death, as well as historical and political events in Russia of that time.
