Grigory Rasputin, Russian peasant, semi-literate monk and mystic, exercised extraordinary power over Nicholas and Alexandra, the last tsar and tsarina of Russia. His drunkenness, sexual excesses and nepotism - not to mention rumours that he was a German agent - led to his murder in December 1916. Edvard Radzinsky's biography is the first to draw upon sources and interviews unavailable to previous historians. He unveils the full extent of the emotional relationship between Rasputin and the tsarina, and demonstrates Rasputin's influence on the tsar, particularly in the conduct of Russia's disastrous war against Germany. He also sheds new light on the remarkable story of Rasputin's murder at the Yusupov Palace. Формат издания: 13 см х 19,5 см.
