7 - Rasputin / Red Wine

Today we cover one of the Big Kahuna topics - Grigori Rasputin. We delve into our girl Alexandra, the sad queen, her son Alexei who she forbade from playing badminton, the family sport, and of course the Mad Monk himself. He was the Charles Manson of his time, except he didn't record any songs with The Beach Boys so Griggy will have to settle for second place on the Most Interesting Cult Leaders ranking.
