俄国传奇妖僧拉斯普京的一生。

　　格里高利·叶菲莫维奇·拉斯普京（英语：Grigori Efimovich Rasputin；1869年1月21日—1916年12月30日），又译拉斯普丁、拉斯普钦或拉斯普廷，俄罗斯帝国神父，尼古拉二世时期的神秘主义者，沙皇及皇后的宠臣。俄罗斯萨拉托夫省人，被认为是俄罗斯正教会中的佯狂者之流。因丑闻百出，遭到公愤，为尤苏波夫亲王、迪米特里大公、普利希克维奇议员等人合谋刺死。

　　他有高超的催眠眼。他那双淡蓝色的眼睛，炯炯有神，死死盯着人看时泛出道道蓝光；再加上他的声音，总是令人感到恐惧，昏昏欲睡。

1917, shortly after the assassination of Grigory Rasputin. The provisional government appoints investigator Heinrich Ivanovich Svitten to study the case of the deceased and find out who he really was for others and for the whole of Russia. Switten collects information bit by bit about the ambiguous elder, but sometimes it is very difficult to distinguish the truth from human speculation. Rasputin's confidants and even members of the royal family help him in the investigation, but everyone has a personal attitude towards this mysterious man. Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, on the one hand, respects him immensely, and on the other hand, Switten notices something similar to fear.

Как неграмотный мужик смог стать «вторым Я» последней русской императрицы? Неужели дело только в том, что Распутин спасал больного наследника престола? Или была какая-то иная причина удивительной веры царской семьи в этого человека?
