What is the legend of rasputin?
He was a monk that was brought to assist Tsar Nicholas II's son, Alexei. The son of the Tsar had hemophilia, and Rasputin was said to have mystical powers that could cure the young boy's disease. Before and after being appointed to his position, Rasputin was rumoured to having an elaborate sex life. He was reported to having held orgies, and pictures were often taken of him surrounded by many women. These actions however did not conflict with his religious beliefs, for his religion believed in fulfilling the desires of men. After being positioned to help Alexei, Rasputin gained political power as well. As the Tsar was away for assignments of WW1, the Tsarina was put in charge. She was greatly influenced by Rasputin due to his dedication to cure her son. Although the Tsarina was always announcing the political changes, Rasputin played a major part in the decision making process. This power that Rasputin was holding was well recognized by the Russian people, and in turn it became a cause of the 1917 February/ March Revolution. Many accusations were made against him from rape to being a German spy during WWI. In the end he was stabbed, poisoned, shot, beaten and drowned by assassins who found he was difficult to kill when he survived attack after attack. .
Did the royal disease cause the downfall of the Russian Monarchy?
Yes, sadly it did. Or rather, it was a contributing cause.The Royal Disease was Haemophilia, a disease carried by females but active in males. Queen Alexandra was of Queen Victoria's line. Her young son, Alexei, had Haemophilia. The slightest bump would cause agonising bleeding into his joints, and he was often very sick indeed.She was a desperate mother, prepared to try anything that would help her child. She is said to have felt guilty for passing the illness on to him. She was told about a monk, Gregori Rasputin, who was said to work miracles. She contacted him and he came and he helped the boy in ways that seemed miraculous, and which we cannot explain even today. He would be with the boy for hours and when Rasputin left the bedchamber exhausted and wrung out, Alexei's fever had broken and the pain and swelling were gone. Queen Alexandra became more and more dependent on Rasputin, and people resented it because he was a drunkard who lived a highly immoral lifestyle. She could not or would not give him up because he was the only person to do little Alexei any good. What mother could spurn the only source of pain relief her child had?The public were angry about Rasputin's influence. Tsar Nicolas lost popularity for allowing such a depraved man in the family circle. He had tried to persuade his wife to distance herself from Rasputin, but that only lasted until the child's next attack.Alexei's haemophilia was not the only factor in the loss of sympathy for the Russian Royal Family. It would be silly to suggest it was. But it was certainly an important contributary factor.

Who was the mad monk of Russian history?
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin (Григо́рий Ефи́мович Распу́тин) Grigory Rasputin (1872-1916) was a Russian mystic and quasi-holy man who rose from peasant farmer to become adviser to Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918) and his wife, Tsarina Alexandra (1872-1918). Sometime in 1905 or shortly thereafter, Alexandra had come into contact with Rasputin, and, showing he was able to effectively treat Nicholas's and Alexandra's severely hemophiliac son Alexis (1904-1918), Rasputin quickly gained favor with the Russian rulers. But the prime minister and members of the legislative assembly, the Duma, could see Rasputin was a disreputable character, and they feared his influence on the tsar. They even tried to exile Rasputin, but to no avail. By 1913, one year before the outbreak of World War I (1914-18), the Russian people had become acutely aware of Tsar Nicholas's weaknesses as a ruler-not only was his government subject to the influence of a pretender like Rasputin, but the events of Bloody Sunday had irreversibly marred the tsar's reputation. That year the Romanov dynasty was marking its 300th anniversary: members of the royal family had ruled Russia since 1613. But public celebrations, intended to be jubilant affairs, were instead ominous, as the crowds greeted Nicholas's public appearances with silence. Russia's entry into World War I proved to be the beginning of the end for Nicholas, with Rasputin at the front and center of the controversy that swirled around the royal court. During the first year of fighting against Germany, Russia suffered one military catastrophe after another. These losses did further damage to the tsar and his ministers. In the fall of 1915, urged on by his wife, Nicholas left St. Petersburg and headed to the front to lead the Russian troops in battle himself. With Alexandra left in charge of government affairs, Rasputin's influence became more dangerous than ever. But in December 1916, a group of aristocrats put an end to it once and for all when, during a palace party, they laced Rasputin's wine with cyanide. Though the poison failed to kill Rasputin, the noblemen shot him and deposited his body in a river later that night. Nevertheless, the damage to Nicholas and Alexandra had already been done: By that time virtually all educated Russians opposed the tsar, who had removed many capable officials from government office, only to replace them with the weak and incompetent executives favored by Rasputin. The stage had been set for revolution.
