Romanov Downfall Influence Detailed in New Book
Author Anthony Beaver discussed his book, 'Rasputin and the Downfall of the Romanovs,' on C-SPAN Radio. Beaver noted that Rasputin was one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in modern history. He highlighted that Rasputin had no official position and no mass following, a reverse of the 'great man theory' of history. The book details Rasputin's relationship with the Tsar and Tsarina of Russia prior to their downfall. The review was part of NPR's 'Book Notes Plus' segment.
