Detailed explanation-1: -For those of you who don’t know, Grigori Rasputin was a real-life Russian mystic/hypnotist/con-artist who had a heavy influence on the Tsarist government of Emperor Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra, after apparently healing their son Alexei as he lay dying from haemophilia.
Detailed explanation-2: -How does the killing of the so-called Mad Monk fit into the larger picture of the Russian Revolution? The murder of Rasputin, Russia’s infamous “Mad Monk, ” is the fodder for a great historical tale that blends fact and legend.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rasputin was a Serbian monk. He became famous because he healed the only heir of the Romanov dynasty Alexei who was suffering from haemophilia. Thereafter he became an advisor to Tsarina Alexandra and Tsar Nicholas II. The key appointments to the court were made on the approval of Rasputin.
Detailed explanation-4: -Rasputin collapsed but was able to run out into the courtyard, where Purishkevich shot him again. The conspirators then bound him and threw him through a hole in the ice into the Neva River, where he finally died by drowning.
