Tsarist government in crisis (1 jan 1916 ano – 1 jan 1917 ano)

Descrição:

With Tsar’s absence fighting at the front Tsarina Alexandra arbitrarily dismissed loyal political advisers. She turned to her court favorite, the disreputable and unpopular Rasputin, an uneducated Siberian preacher whose influence with the tsarina rested on his purported ability to heal Alexis — the royals’ only son and heir to the throne — from his hemophilia. In a desperate attempt to right the situation, three members of the high aristocracy murdered Rasputin in December 1916.
