Rasputini surma 100. aastapaeval ilmus uksikasjalik elulugu, mis muudab murranguliselt meie arusaama sellest lummavast isiksusest.Sada aastat parast tema morvamist erutab Rasputin jatkuvalt kujutlusvoimet kui kurjuse kehastus. Arvukad biograafiad, romaanid ja filmid raagivad tema moistatuslikust tousust voimu juurde Nikolai ja Aleksandra usaldusaluse ja Venemaa haige trooniparija kaitsjana. Tema liiderlikkus ja pahaendeline poliitiline moju olid legendaarsed ja Romanovite dunastia langus pandi tema arvele.Kuid nagu auhinnatud ajaloolane Douglas Smith naitab, on toeline lugu Rasputini elust ja surmast jaanud muuti mahkunuks. Tahelepanuvaarne uus uurimus, mis uhendab sugava eruditsiooni mojuva jutustamisoskusega, eraldab fakti valjamoeldisest, et tuua valja uhe ajaloo koige intrigeerivama kuju tegelik elu. Toetudes ohtratele unustatud dokumentidele seitsme riigi arhiivides, esitab Smith Rasputini kogu tema keerukuses – jumalamees, rahu eestkoneleja, lojaalne alam, abielurikkuja, joodik. „Rasputin” ei ole pelgalt erakordse ja nimeka mehe uksikasjalik biograafia, vaid ka kaasahaarav kirjeldus katastroofi suunas vankuva keiserliku Venemaa loojangust.
