AH Great People Improvisation Game

I don't want to clutter up the subject, but I have something to note - hetaera isn't PROSTITUTE.

Sorry if I got that wrong. :/ I don't know much about classical and ancient history, so I had to rely on Wikipedia. The title was just too good to pass up though.

Grigori Rasputin - the greatest adventurer in Russian history. Unofficially - the last emperor of Russia. Monk, who came to St. Petersburg in 1903. By 1904 he earned a reputation as a healer and holy. These circumstances allowed him to get close to the Imperial family. With them, he put in important positions of his friends, which enabled him to influence the policy of the empire.In 1905, the uprising began in Russia. A terrorist - SR shot king. Power was concentrated in the hands of the "Regenсу Council", which included himself Rasputin. After the capture of Petersburg and death of the Empress. Rasputin (apparently in a state of alcoholic intoxication) declared himself Tsar. But he was killed immediately after his coronation. The civil war has not ended, but with the idea of restoration of the monarchy had melted.
I like it, though you should know the Russian Tzars never styled themselves as "kings". Some in the 19th century added "King of Poland" to their long list of titles, but it wasn't a primary label.
