Grigory Rasputin. Bokhanov A.

The book of the outstanding modern historian of the Doctor of Historical Sciences A. N. Bokhanov is devoted to one of the most mysterious and most famous characters not only of domestic, but also by world history - Grigory Rasputin. Most often, Rasputin is not represented by Rasputin not in the image of a real person, but in the guise of a demonic anti -hero, a gloomy symbol of the last chapter of the existence of monarchical Russia. In this form, this is one of the very first and most tenacious products of the black historical “PR.”

This book, written on the basis of a variety of documentary material, refutes many established assessments and conclusions. The author reveals the real details of the biography of the Siberian peasant, analyzes the reasons for his social fame, shows the actual role of this person in specific circumstances of time and place. One of the objectives of the investigation is to establish how and why the Rasputin “black legend” arose, who was its inspirator and a relay. The book shows for what reasons unscrupulous and evil gossip and rumors replaced real facts, becoming “reliable” documents and “indisputable” evidence.
