Summary

In the early 20th century, the Russian Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, the Tsarina Alexandra, welcomed a homeless monk into their home. As this scruff, unkempt-looking man became closer to the royal family, he seemingly performed miracles, predicted the future, and cured illnesses. He starts to gain influence over the Imperial Family, too much influence for comfort. So, a group of nobles decided that he needed to be eliminated. However, that proved to be much easier said than done. Learn about Rasputin, the magical man who wouldn’t die, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
