A fraud, the bleeding will stop eventually it's just really slow in doing so. Rasputin turned up several days after the young heir got injured. He was an opportunist. His main supporter, the mother, was the carrier who passed on the bad gene to her son so she blamed herself.. she was a bit shy and was easily manipulated by the guy
Also he did a lot to annoy the Russia court, he went after noble married women and acted as a glutton but was protected by the royal family. He was aware of the hatred directed towards him which is why he told the royal family that he felt something was going to happen to him and that if it did, a great tragedy would fall upon the family - true enough prediction, he was murdered and the family were killed
They were killed, but only during the civil war several year later. The tsar was abdicated, but not murdered as far as i'm aware, but the family definitely stayed alive until like 1921/1919 when the bolshies executed them all
The family was killed cuz the white army was starting to win in 1918. And yes he did abdicate in 1917, which was great since he was a crappy leader and I don't think he wanted to be tsar, nor did his wife want to be tsarine. Also FYI, the tsar was cousins with both the German kaiser and the George V king of England. He asked the English to save offer him asile but got rejected lol.
History would have been a lot simpler if the revolutionaries who wanted a democratic-like gov't had not bombed the one tsar, Alexander 2, who thought about establishing a parliamentary gov't. Especially since he was killed by the 3rd bomber after leaving his bombproof carriage to help the victims of the first 2 bombs. He died a horrible painful death witnessed by his son and grandson who's in their turn when in power destroy any prodemocratic group. (not so much Nicholas ii though) That's a bit irrelevant but interesting when looking at Russia's current regime.
I think he was legit something else. He got poisoned, shot in the head, beaten with some metal object I think they said a dumbbell, and then attempted to drown him, when that didn't work they stabbed him in the chest and threw him in the river only to find him out of the bounds.
Or maybe he had started taking small doses of poison in preparation to build up resistance and survive when consuming more fatal doses.He was a big dude so maybe the poison didn't affect him as much And was wearing a big furry coat when he was shot....reduced damage Afterall he did still die by drowning I think He was a fairly clever guy,
Lol I don't think so, I think the nobles over exaggerated the whole story and the tale became more absurd with time
