A hundred years after his murder, Rasputin continues to excite the popular imagination as the personification of evil. Numerous biographies, novels, and films recount his mysterious rise to power as Nicholas and Alexandra's confidant and the guardian of the sickly heir to the Russian throne. His debauchery and sinister political influence are the stuff of legend, and the downfall of the Romanov dynasty was laid at his feet. But as the prizewinning historian Douglas Smith shows, the true story of Rasputin's life and death has remained shrouded in myth. A major new work that combines probing scholarship and powerful storytelling, Rasputin separates fact from fiction to reveal the real life of one of history's most alluring figures. Drawing on a wealth of forgotten documents from archives in seven countries, Smith presents Rasputin in all his complexity-- man of God, voice of peace, loyal subject, adulterer, drunkard. Rasputin is not just a definitive biography of an extraordinary and legendary man but a fascinating portrait of the twilight of imperial Russia as it lurched toward catastrophe."--|cProvided by publisher. 520 "The definitive biography of Rasputin, spiritual guide to the Romanovs and source of great political intrigue, based on many new documents"--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Rasputin, Grigoriĭ Efimovich,|d1869-1916.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80032178 600 17 Rasputin, Grigoriĭ Efimovich,|d1869-1916.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1799576 600 30 Romanov, House of.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85115062 600 37 Romanov, House of.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 214656 648 7 1894-1917|2fast 650 7 Courts and courtiers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 881829 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 651 0 Russia|xCourt and courtiers|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008116742 651 0 Russia|xHistory|yNicholas II, 1894-1917.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125803 651 0 Russia|xPolitics and government|y1894-1917.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125842 651 0 Russia|xCourt and courtiers|vBiography|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2008116742|vJuvenile literature. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001674 651 0 Russia|xHistory|yNicholas II, 1894-1917|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125803|vJuvenile literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001674 651 0 Russia|xPolitics and government|y1894-1917|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125842|vJuvenile literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001674 651 7 Russia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1207312 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Biographies.|2gsafd 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 901 MARCIVE 20231220 948 |d20181012|cLTI|tlti-aup183 948 |d20180926|clti|tlti-aex 948 |d20171012|cLTI|tlti-aup173 948 |d20180214|cMH|tcr overlayforlcsh|lridm 948 |d20170922|clti|tlti-aex 994 C0|bRID
