Rasputinist Russia

Inspired by my Cosmonaut Rasputin Halloween costume idea.

March 6th 1916

Agents of Grigori Rasputin succeed in making the death of Czar Nicholas II look like an accident. Desperate to keep her little Alexei safe, Tsarina Alexandra gives regency to Rasputin who gains the support of the masses by claiming to be an Orthodox prophet, pulling Russia out of the Great War by then end of the Month. By summer of 1916, the Communist factions made their move, but it was too late, for the Proletariat was held firmly by Rasputin thanks to a number of utilitarian policies, as well as a considerable percentage of the military.

If I decide to continue this, it'd be about the founding of the Slavic Cross Empire.
 
This wouldn't work unless Rasputin really was magic, due to the insane amount of rumors and hate that surrounded him. The noble classes hated his guts, the peasants thought he was a servant of the devil, and the military was pissed that he was guiding their master through sooth sayings.

Yeh it'd be freekin awesome though... The PoD is pre-1900 because Tesla beat Edison and now they have Teslapower, which is basically magic.
