Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin is a magnetic specter in the drama that is Russian history, for the peasant mystic from Pokrovskoe played a defining role in the last days of the Romanov Dynasty. In 1905, the fateful meeting took place. Rasputin requested—and was granted— an audience with the Romanov family at Peterhof, where he presented them with a hand-painted wooden icon of Saint Simeon, a venerated Siberian saint dear to Rasputin’s own heart. He soon became a trusted advisor and confidante to Emperor Nicholas II and Tsaritsa Alexandra Feodorovna; Alexandra in particular was convinced that the “staretz” was a gift to her from God Almighty, sent to ease her passage through life as the “Little Mother of Russia,” and especially to preserve the precious life of her only son, the Heir, Tsesarevich Alexei Nikolaevich.

Given that news from Europe took about a month to reach the U.S., both the U.S. soldiers led by General Andrew Jackson and the Red Coats led by General Sir Edward Pakenham was a pointless confrontation. A few weeks after the resounding U.S. victory (only 13 men were killed on the U.S. side and 285 on the British side), Jackson and his men got news of the peace treaty signed before their feat of arms.
