Krátky popis
How could a barely literate peasant from Siberia determine the fate
of the world? Undoubtedly, the so-called 'mad monk' Rasputin
bewitched Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra. Yet their
strange and scandalous relationship conceals a riddle , one that
casts an intriguing light on the controversial 'great man' theory
of history. Rasputin was a devoted monarchist, not a
revolutionary.He had no official position, no forces at his
command. Nevertheless, he contributed more to the fall of the
Romanov dynasty than any other individual. So demoralised was the
Tsarist officer corps by stories of corruption, to say nothing of
the rumours of his debauchery with the Empress - and even her
daughters - that when the February Revolution broke out, not a
sword was raised in defence of the regime.Just as Rasputin cast a
spell over the Romanovs, his legend has bewitched historians. More
than a century later, we still fail to comprehend fully the
collapse of the greatest autocracy on Earth. Was there any truth to
the wild tales that brought down the empire? Or was his true legacy
an unsettling lesson on the potency of myth?
