The title of this book, "The Unknown About Rasputin," indicates the authors' efforts to avoid generally accepted cliches and historical clichés in assessing this person. This book is written for those whom the love of historical truth prompts to look back critically and impartially. When writing it, a large amount of documents about Rasputin stored in Russian and foreign archives was used. Oddly enough, but the most famous Russian in the world is Grigory Rasputin. Not Ulyanov-Lenin, not Gagarin, but a peasant from a Siberian village forgotten by God. The village of Pokrovskoye is located on the old Tobolsk tract, which has the same venerable age as Tobolsk itself - the place of exile of the last Russian sovereign N.A. Romanov with his family.
