MYSTERY CHILD
I enjoyed your information-packed issue on the Russian Revolution (April 2021). It is amazing to me that you can cover so much material succinctly. I do have a query, though. In the photo on page 36, which purports to show Rasputin and the Tsarina in 1916, the child to Rasputin’s right is cited as being Alexei. e child does not look like him, and nor are they old enough – Alexei was born in 1904.
