Grigoriy R.(2014)

Grigoriy R. is a historical drama set in 1917, shortly after Grigory Rasputin's assassination. The Russian provisional government assigns investigator Heinrich Ivanovich Svitten to uncover the truth about the enigmatic figure and his influence on the nation. As Svitten pieces together accounts from Rasputin's confidants and members of the royal family, he struggles to separate fact from speculation. Each witness offers a conflicting perspective on the mysterious elder—some revere him, others fear him. Empress Alexandra Feodorovna's complex relationship with Rasputin proves particularly revealing, mixing deep respect with barely concealed dread. The investigation becomes a portrait of a man whose true nature remains elusive, even in death, reflecting the turbulent politics and spiritual confusion of revolutionary Russia.
