Rasputin the Rascal Monk / Disclosing the Secret Scandal of the Betrayal of Russia by the Mock-Monk Grichka and the Consequent Ruin of the Romanoffs. With official documents revealed and recorded for the first time.

The narrative traces the ascent of a disreputable Siberian peasant who, by posing as a holy man, gained extraordinary influence over the imperial household and surrounding court circles. Drawing on reported official files, decoded telegrams, and eyewitness accounts, the narrative alleges his criminal past, hypnotic hold over women and powerful men, and participation in a secretive clique that purportedly sought accommodation with Germany during the war. Chapters combine biographical sketches, contemporary reports, and reproduced documents to argue that this clerical impostor's intrigues and relationships helped precipitate political betrayal and the collapse of the ruling dynasty.
