Thank you for the photo of Rasputin. I'd always heard he had intense eyes that bored into whomever he was evaluating. The cover photo certainly gives credence to that opinion. Early on in his life, Grigori Rasputin was a rabble-rouser and defier of authority. He seems to have had a fascinating life. However, it is Rasputin's death (when it finally came) that defies belief. I had to re-read parts, I couldn't believe what I was reading.
Although Rasputin was a seriously-flawed human, Russians used him as a scapegoat for the problems occurring in the country at that time. Rasputin is an interesting character and Hourly History did a great job sharing his uniqueness with the reader.
