EXAM PRACTISE
How far does Source C support the evidence of Source B about the influence of Rasputin? Explain your answer. (8 Marks)
SOURCE B:
"I said to the Tsar - 'This cannot continue much longer. No one opens your eyes to the true role which Rasputin is playing. His presence in Your Majesty's Court undermines confidence in your Supreme Power and may have an evil effect.' My report did some good - Rasputin was sent away to Tobolsk, but a few days later, on the demand of the Tsarina, this order was cancelled."
From a statement made by Rodzianko, a member of the duma, March 1916.
SOURCE C:
"My dear, I heard that horrid Rodzianko thinks that Rasputin is a bad influence. Rodzianko wants the duma to be called. Oh please don't allow this. The duma wants to discuss things which are not its business and this will bring more discontent. Listen to our friend Rasputin, God sent him to us. We must pay attention to what Rasputin says. Forgive me, but I don't like the choice of the Minister for War, Polivanov. He is the enemy of our friend Rasputin."
From a letter from Tsarina Alexandra to Tsar Nicholas II, who was at the Eastern Front, March 1916.
