Untitled Worksheet
Source Analysis of Rasputin's Influence
Source A: Rasputin’s Impact on the Russian Court
"Rasputin was seen by many as a corrupting influence on the Russian monarchy. His close relationship with Tsarina Alexandra was believed to undermine the authority of the government and fuel unrest. Many aristocrats and politicians thought his presence at court was damaging Russia’s reputation and stability. Despite his reputation as a holy man, Rasputin’s influence was perceived as manipulative and destabilizing, especially given the political turmoil of the time. His apparent control over the royal family and his involvement in political appointments caused widespread concern among the ruling class." Provenance: Anonymous author, early 20th century, newspaper editorial.
