Grigori Rasputin traces the Siberian peasant and religious wanderer whose access to the family of Nicholas II made him a symbol of the late imperial court’s dysfunction. It examines his reputation as a healer and the confidence placed in him by Empress Alexandra during the illness of the heir, Alexei.

The biography investigates allegations of sexual misconduct, political influence and espionage, separating substantiated evidence from sensational rumour. Rasputin’s murder in 1916 is placed within wartime elite hostility and the broader collapse of confidence that preceded the Russian Revolution.
