6. Meeting the Tsar

Rasputin struck up relationships with Princess Anastasia of Montenegro and the Grand Duchess Militza Nikolaevna of Russia, both of whom were married to cousins of the Tsar. It was through these friendships that Rasputin was eventually introduced to Tsar Nicholas II of Russia in person.

The meeting took place at the Peterhof Palace in 1905 and the Tsar noted the meeting in his diary, stating how he had met with a man of god. Rasputin wouldn’t meet the Tsar again until several months later but he did return and begin to develop stronger relationships with the Tsar and his family.
