16h 16min, jan 1, 1905 y - Rasputin (1905-1916)
Description:
Rasputin was introduced to Russian Czar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra Feodorovna, who were seeking help for their sickly son, Alexis. Rasputin quickly gained their confidence by seemingly "curing" the boy of hemophilia. This action won him the passionate support of Alexandra. Rasputin became Alexandra’s advisor while Nicholas II was in war with his troops. Rasputin, disliked by many people, had been unsuccessfully murdered by members of the royal family with cyanide. However, he was successfully assassinated by being shot three times, rolled in a carpet, and thrown into the Neva River a day later.
