Rasputin was a 'strannik', a spiritual pilgrim, who provided spiritual guidance and counsel to the Romanovs. In addition, he was very important to them because he was a spiritual healer and could stop the bleeding and pain of the hemophiliac young tzarevitch (the heir to the throne, the Tsar's son). Many negative myths and legends have been written about him, mostly based on rumors spread by the aristocracy who hated for a peasant to be close to the Tsar. And this particular peasant was anti-war (so he was considered a traitor because he hated killing) and he was for equal rights for the Jews and peasants, who were severely oppressed, and sometimes slaughtered in the name of the Tsar. Rasputin never harmed a soul. The Tsar was responsible for the unjust deaths of many. The dissatisfaction of the Russian people (who were tired of centuries of persecution) led to the Revolution, not Rasputin as some think. Even the military and the police participated in the Revolution.

Rasputin was just too good at manipulating the Tsar's wife, and she believed him to be holy and wise. So she took his opinions and shared them with the Tsar and it just made the country go downhill.
