Ashley and Jess begin their discussion of the downfall of the Romanov Dynasty, starting with the assassination of Tsar Alexander II. Ashley fills in some of the necessary historical context to paint a picture of the political climate in late 19th and early 20th Century Russia. This episode takes us through the assassination of Prime Minister Peter Stoylpin in Kiev and the falling out of Tsar and Tsarina with Grigori Rasputin. Remember, with a name like Rasputin, it’s probably foul.
