Rasputin enters the Romanov court
1907
A Siberian holy man with piercing eyes and strange habits began appearing at the Alexander Palace to ease the suffering of the hemophiliac heir Alexei. The empress Alexandra came to regard him as a messenger of God. His influence over the royal family would help poison the Romanovs in the eyes of Russian society by 1917.
