The Real Rasputin
A film biography that sets out to demonstrate that Gregori Efimovich
Rasputin, contraryto popularopinion, was neither mad nora monk. The influential monkwas assassinated by a group of Russian noblemen in 1916. Following the murder, rumourand political expediency combined to paint him as a villain responsible forthe downfall of the Romanov royal family. He came to be seen as an insane alcoholic capable of sexual debauchery.
Timewatch travels to the remote
Siberian village where Rasputin was born, and uncovers first-hand information about the peasant who rose to become a favourite of the Tsarina Alexandra. Eyewitnesses who knew him when they were younggirls give a surprising insight into the man they knew as " Uncle Grisha", and photographs and written materials discovered during recent years build up a picture of the real Rasputin.
