Overview: University Press returns with another short and captivating portrait of one of history’s most compelling figures, Grigori Rasputin.
Grigori Rasputin was a lowly peasant from a small village in Siberia. Yet, as a self-proclaimed mystic, holy man, and miracle worker, he went on to amass a group of zealous followers that included the most powerful couple in Russia – Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra.
Rasputin earned a reputation as a drunkard, abuser of women, and bribe-taking opportunist, but he was able to use his remarkable influence with the royal family to meddle in the affairs of both Church and State – and accrue a number of powerful enemies in the process. Enemies who could ensure his violent demise.
