In part 2 of our series on the controversial history between Rasputin and the Romanovs, we start with Tsarina Alix’s desperate attempts to birth a male heir, and how the canonized Seraphim perhaps worked a miracle to usher the birth of son Alexei: an heir to the royal curse. How will they secure their dynasty in this dark hour? Enter Rasputin, who entranced the royals and populace with his mysticism, rock and roll lifestyle, and peasant ways… but will he be the savior they needed, or an instrument of their ultimate downfall?
