absolutely true.
He never was a Tzarina's lover, nor a monk.
More of a self- proclaimed "saint".
Eventually, his figure attributed to the peoples discontent towards the Royal house.
He was, infact, poisoned, but it didn't work so they shot him, when that failed either he was beaten to death and drowned in the river.
Less then 3 month later the Revolution broke out.
And in less then 2 years (1918) the whole Royal family was brutally slaughtered- including the 16 year old Heir, four daughters and even servants and a family doctor...
Their bodies were only discovered in the late 80th, and finally burried in Peter and Paul fortress in St. Petersburg on July 17, 1998.- exactly 80 years after the murder.
If you have any more questions on the subject- feel free to ask!
