The book is about one of the most mysterious and most famous person not only in Russian, but also in world history - Grigorii Rasputin. The author presents the true details of the biography of the Siberian peasant, the reasons for his public fame, the actual role of this man in history. One of the purposes of the investigation is to determine how and why a "black legend" about Rasputin appeared, who started and spread it, why gossip and rumors replaced the actual facts becoming "reliable" documents and "indisputable" evidence. The edition is complemented by works of Grigorii Rasputin. A. Bokhanov, a well known specialist on the history of the beginning of the 20th century and the Romanov family, gives his version of the figure of Rasputin, and destroys many wide spread myths.
