Rasputin's Healing Abilities
- Czar's sister Olga was disturbed by Rasputin's behavior, but recognized his apparent healing powers.
- After Rasputin prayed over the injured toddler Alexey, the boy was inexplicably better the following morning.
The Power of Belief
- Rasputin's presence provided an environment of peace and calm, which may have aided Alexey's recovery.
- This atmosphere allowed for the formation of blood clots, crucial for hemophiliacs.
Rasputin: "Our Friend"
- The imperial family's staunch defense of Rasputin, calling him "our friend," baffled those outside their circle.
- Many attributed Rasputin's influence to manipulation, hypnosis, or the Empress's alleged desires, due to ignorance of Alexey's hemophilia.
