As one might imagine, this made Rasputin quite a hit with the ladies of Tsarist Russia — including, allegedly, with the tsar’s wife. Even long after his death, ubsubstantiated rumors about Rasputin’s affair with Tsarina Alexandra persisted and were believed to have played into the motives of the nobles who killed the “Mad Monk.”
However, as historian Douglas Smith told Town and Country magazine, it’s unlikely the two ever even slept together.
“Alexandra was quite a prudish, Victorian woman,” Smith said. “There’s no way, and no proof, that she would have looked to Rasputin for sex.”
