Mystic, healer, sinner, saint—Grigori Rasputin has been called many things. But who was the Mad Monk of Russia, really? From his rise in the royal court to his mysterious influence over the Romanovs, this episode explores how one man became a symbol of everything wrong in a crumbling empire—and how myth and reality collided in the final days of Tsarist Russia.

We really enjoyed revisiting this series and getting to implement the viewer feedback that Rob had previously only been able to address in Lies.
