To Kill Rasputin

In To Kill Rasputin, historian Andrew Cook revisits the 1916 murder of Grigori Rasputin, the controversial figure whose influence over Russia's imperial family made him a focus of fascination and fear. Rasputin's death has long been surrounded by competing accounts, dramatic retellings and unresolved questions about the people who wanted him gone.

Cook examines documentary evidence and the historical record to reconsider the familiar story of the assassination. By placing the killing within the politics of the late Romanov court and the wider tensions facing the Russian Empire, the book explores the gap between myth, testimony and historical fact.

For readers interested in Russian history, biography and historical investigations, this book offers a detailed look at one of the most enduring mysteries of the final years of imperial Russia.
