I saw the movie “Nicholas and Alexandria” when I was but a lad.

It had a very strong impact on me and drove me to study Russian history in college, especially through its literature — amazingly interesting to say the least.

Recently released documents from the archives of the British secret service indicate that the murder of Rasputin was almost certainly the work of Brit agents in St. Petersburg. Rasputin had an absolute hold on the Empress Alexandra, a first class dimwit, who was then ruling Russia while her equal dimwit husband, Nicholas, was “running” the war effort 500 miles away. The Brits were petrified that Rasputin would convince her, of German birth, to get Russia out of the war, freeing up 100 German divisions from the East to smash through the western front. Archives indicate that Rasputin was shot with bullets from guns that only the Brits in Russia possessed and that they had been on scene the night that the Mad Monk was finished off.
