She also started to get busy with other things. She seemed to busy herself with Rasputin, and the Czar was warned that Rasputin was a heavy drinker and had a history of falling in love with women, even Alexandra. Knowing this, he banished the monk and hired another doctor.
Meanwhile, Lenin and Trotsky, Bolshevik leaders of an underground newspaper group, were trying with every chance they had to publish and send out their newspaper to bring down the government of Russia and bring back Communism. During a play that the Czar and his generals were invited to, Stolypen, Nicholas" prime minister, was assassinated. By this time, Alexander was a Duma representative, and was trying to keep freedom in Russia.
During a picnic, Alexis fell and started to bleed internally. Dr.Botkin, their family doctor at the time, said that he would live. The generals of Nicholas told him to wait to tell the people of their son's condition. Nick's son started to get worse, and Alexandra sent for Grigory Rasputin's help once again. Grigory came back and was able to relieve the stress of Nick and his wife and heal their son. Problems were starting to stir in the military. The generals suggested that Nick stop his army and stop fighting, but it was too late: Germany had declared war on Russia. Kerensky, in the meantime, was still trying to reunite their nation. Although he did not agree with the czar, he agreed with the war. With the nation united, they would have a better chance of defending it. Alexandra started to manipulate Nicholas, and Rasputin started back up with manipulating Alexandra. The people of Russia recommended that Nicholas divorce Alexandra, but he would not.
Nicholas" mother, Olga, eventually came to visit him. She warned him about his wife possibly being a German spy. She told him to just hang Rasputin as well, and to deal with other issues. Later, the Czar had some of his relatives get together and kill Rasputin.
