The Murder of Rasputin: Analyis of the Hollywood Movie

Tsarist Russia under Nicholas IIFor IB / A-Level historians. At this point, I watch the final 35 minutes or so of the “Rasputin” Feature Film starring Alan Rickman (available from Amazon here). This worksheet follows the viewing and encourages students to analyse the film as they would any other source – what has been left out? what has been deliberately falsified? what events have been “spun” and how? A primary source account with associated tasks relating to the murder can be found here.
