A legendary figure appeared in the last years of the Romanov Dynasty, of course, it can also be said that there must be demons in the last years of the dynasty. Rasputin, known as the "Siberian Elder" and "Immortal Monk", was a miracle at the time.
Rasputin
Many see Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin as the culprit in the collapse of the Russian Tsarist government. But I think that everything else is pushed on the head of the god stick, although Rasputin did cause trouble, but he was not of aristocratic origin, he did not have military power, and what he had was not given by the Tsar and his wife? The praise is accepted, and the blame is pushed on the head of others, which is too obvious. What kind of person was Rasputin, and what role did he play at the time? And listen to me slowly.

It may be that Rasputin, in order to maintain his own image, is secretive about his origins. However, according to some rumors in later generations, Rasputin's father was named Yefim Welkin, who was originally well-off, but because of the loss of the family's property, he had to move with his family to the village of Pokrovskoye in the Tyumen region of Siberia, and changed his surname to "Novik" (meaning "newcomer"). After he changed his name, he really changed his face and became a new person, and after hard work, the family was not rich but also had no worries about food and clothing. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, Novih's wife, eldest son, and only daughter died one after another, he was hit and decadent again, and the family road also declined again.
Rasputin in the countryside
Rasputin lived in such a decaying home, a scoundrel when he was young, and it is most appropriate to describe it as the adjective of our country in the sixties and seventies, he is a "second-rate man". It is not very bad to say that it is bad, and it is absolutely impossible to talk about great adultery and great evil, but petty theft is continuous. I have been a horse thief, and I like to peek at the big girl bathing or something, in short, the word "Rasputin" at that time was not a good word, meaning "lascivious and debauched".
The opportunity for change is now unknown, but what can be known now is that he wandered for thirty years, suddenly transformed into a holy robe, and began to enter and leave the homes of wealthy families as "elders", "prophets", and "gods", with the ability to spread prophecies and perform magical medical skills.

Rasputin's fame is fuelled by his prophetic powers and miraculous healing skills.
As early as his thirties, he predicted a major drought in March somewhere in Russia. Shortly after he entered the palace, Rasputin suddenly and nervously said to the queen: "Queen mother, don't let the children into the children's room, I saw it." A few days later, a huge chandelier fell from the ceiling in the children's room and shattered. He had predicted that Crown Prince Alexei would be in good health after his 13th birthday, and this became true. Another of his miraculous prophecies was that the Romanov dynasty would collapse within 3 months of his death. Obviously, these prophecies have been fulfilled.
Alexandra and son Alexei
Linguistic stuff is the easiest to falsify, so I think Rasputin's prophecy has a lot of explanations. First of all, the chandelier thing was revealed by some people to be actually a trap of Rasputin, who sawed the chain of the children's indoor crystal chandelier in advance; second, it is said that he was proficient in hypnosis, and through hypnotic hints to make others think that this sentence was not a particularly difficult thing; finally, rumors and rumors, often changed their taste after word of mouth, and then after the exaggerated rendering techniques of people with hearts, after a hundred years of circulation, who knows the truth of that year?
But about his miraculous medical skills, no reasonable explanation has been found until now. I see a lot of opinion that he just walked the luck, which can cure Crown Prince Alexei. Can one be interpreted as luck, two or three times?
Rasputin and his "believers"
The beginning of the matter is this: Perhaps thanks to his years of deception, Rasputin is definitely a very good orator, and he uses a three-inch tongue to make many people treat him as a guest. So when the Russian People's League went to Topolsk Province to solicit votes, it took Rasputin to the capital St. Petersburg.
The bigger the stage, the better Rasputin played, and he soon gathered a group of nobles around him, until he cured the dog of Nicholas II's uncle, Grand Duke Nicholas, and his prestige reached its peak, and even the Tsar's family heard of his reputation. So when Crown Prince Alexei hemophilia re-attacked, Rasputin was welcomed as a guest.

As mentioned before, Empress Alexandra was an unpopular figure in Russia. She was cold as frost, her emotional intelligence was not high, and because of her superstition, most Russian noblewomen respected her. But she did love her husband and children dearly, and when she discovered that her son Alexei was suffering from hemophilia, she tried her best to find a doctor. When they discovered that the power of medicine could not help themselves, she and her husband turned to mysticism. The Tsar and his wife often entertained "priests", "holy children", "prophets", "seers", "saviors" and other figures at the court, and performed séance ceremonies. But so many priests and saints were helpless against Alexei's illness. At this time, Rasputin appeared.
Crown Prince Alexei
In 1907, Alexei fell ill again, and Alexandra persuaded Nicholas II to put Rasputin in the palace. This was also a helpless move, but surprisingly, Rasputin only used a small packet of powder and a prayer to restore the crown prince's health.
In 1915, Rasputin was expelled from the palace by Tsar Nicholas II, and the crown prince suddenly began to bleed from the nose, which could not be stopped in any way. As a result, as soon as Rasputin appeared, the prince was miraculously better... This happened again and again, and Rasputin was given the title of "Tsarist Lamplight Officer" and was free to enter and leave the inner palace.
Rasputin and his followers
If the ability to cure diseases was a stepping stone that allowed Rasputin to gain the approval of the Tsarist couple, then his so-called prophetic ability has made Russia suffer.
Because Rasputin constantly showed his prophecies in front of the Tsars and his wife, Nicholas II, who had been a firm believer in the occult, began to entrust him with the affairs of the country. You have to do it before you do it, and this is also a strange event of the Romanov family. A person who has no self-knowledge wants to mix everything, even if it is a military matter concerning the country. The other is a firm believer in mysticism, asking the gods to worship the Buddha in everything they do, and asking for a root sign before doing things... So with the active cooperation of these two men, the Tsar led Russia to disaster.
Rasputin and the Tsar's family
After the outbreak of World War I, the Tsar left St. Petersburg in person, and the Empress assisted in overseeing the country. Since then, Rasputin has been more boldly integrated into the DPRK's politics. Empress Alexandra also arbitrarily entrusted the power of appointment and dismissal to Rasputin, and as a result, Rasputin boldly appointed "his own people" and directly dismissed officials who were dismissive of him. Although Rasputin treated the magnates and the commoners with two faces, there were still many patriotic aristocrats who were indignant at this demon monk. They demanded that the empress expel Rasputin from the court and forbid him to investigate the government again, but Alexandra was dismissive of everyone's advice, saying: "The saint is always slandered, and people hate him because we love him."
