Bibliography of books about Rasputin in Russia has more than forty books (and thousands of articles in the media). The most famous study was published by Edvard Radzinsky in 2004 [23] , but after 2004 the new books on the subject continue to be published almost every year. Among them are also apologetic study (or almost apologetic ), as [ 24, 25 , 26]. The author of this brochure is devoted to this topic a big chapter in my book "The Emperor , who knew the fate. And Russia, who did not know" [27] . Study set out below are based largely on the materials of my book – and I hope that this study is objective.
Some Russian movies about Rasputin became almost a "cult." Unfortunately, the most popular of them ("Agony" by Elem Klimov, 1985, a work of a talented) is very biased. Year after year (and several times per year) Russian TV channel again and again show this film ("Agony") – the film is so talented and popular as it is full of old false myths about Rasputin and about the Tsar's family.
It would seem that in recent years much has been written about the streams of slander and lies that have hit the Tsar's family in during the time of Provisional Government (March-November 1917) and then in the Soviet Russia and the USSR. Rivulets of dirty rumors begun in 1916, then it turned into the stormy fetid flows. If before the February revolution, these streams flooded only drunk and hysterical Petrograd, then the Provisional Government consciously and purposely hit them in the whole of Russia.
So, it turns out, this heinous flow of slander and lies of nine months of 1917 – it still generates most people's notion about Raspuitin ! .. For almost 100 years!
Have to tell all this in detail.
Myths about Rasputin until March 1917.
