Grigory Rasputin reconstructed from the 1917 Extraordinary Commission File — the signed interrogation transcripts that dissolve a century of forgery. Traces the arc from Siberian sectarian origins through the sin-mysticism, the petitioner salon, the broker networks, statecraft-by-favourite, and the forensic truth of the murder. Radzinsky's primary-source layer is the spine; the émigré-memoir myths are the thing being taken apart.
