Kicking off Season Five of Mystery on the Rocks (a kinda themed trawl through Geopolitics, War & Espionage of the 20th Century) is our 100th case... The Mad Monk Rasputin!
A mystic who inveigled his way into Russia's royal family's inner circle to become one of Tsar Nicholas' closest advisers, Rasputin is still held aloft as a totem of pure evil today - a reputation only enhanced by the terrifying stories told of his assassination in 1916. So, did Rasputin really possess powers magical enough to cure the Tsar's son of haemophilia as well as survive being poisoned, shot and drowned?
And do our three MOTR idiots end up becoming TYPICAL SNOWFLAKE RASPUTIN APOLOGISTS?
