'Rasbuton's Debauchery'

The imperial family were already in a state of siege politically, and this became just one more facet of that siege mentality. The demons and jews and atheists were trying to destroy all that was good and holy on earth. People just didn't understand him because they could not understand someone who was touched by god. And rasputon was smart enough to frame all this as a battle between god and the devil, where he was god, and minions of the devil were out to get him. But even after trying to shut down the public debate about rasbuton, stalepin still tried personally to rid of him.
