To mark the release of Rasputin: And the Downfall of the Romanovs, Roger Moorhouse sat down with the author to discuss the truth behind the “mad monk” and his role in the collapse of the Russian Empire.
Antony, thank you so much for joining me. I very much enjoyed the book. I read it over the weekend, absolutely raced through it, as always. My first question, I suppose, is why Rasputin? What took you to that? I appreciate it's very much related to your previous book...
