Maybe luck turns with a goat-scented healer

At Tsar Nicholas II's coronation, panic erupts among the masses and several people are trampled to death. As a result, the crustaceans begin to speak of bad omens. Tsar Nicholas's reign will also be marked by accidents such as the sinking of the Russian Pacific Fleet by the Japanese or the assassination of his prime minister. When the unlucky persecuted tsar finally has a son after four daughters, the heir to the throne is born. However, the son is carrying the deadly haemorrhagic disease, which would have dire consequences. The peasant son Grigory Rasputin (1869-1916) is broken, dirty and “smells like goat”, but pretends to be an actual man of God with supernatural powers. He manages to cure the little tsar's son, and his influence over the tsar grows ever stronger. He becomes a real power factor under the Russian Empire, and the story would not be complete if it were not for rumors that he bathed in saunas with the wives of high-ranking people and that he would share a bed even with the tsarina. In 1916, some Russian aristocrats decide to assassinate Rasputin. He is served cookies laced with cyanide, he receives several revolver shots, kicks and blows from a baton, but it is not until Rasputin is lowered into the Volga, bound with cords, that life leaves his body. The Tsarina is left inconsolable and the beginning to the end has just begun.
