Evidence for Tsarina and Rasputin's relationship:
Infamous letter from the Empress to Rasputin that was leaked to the press in 1912- "I kiss your hands and lay my head upon your blessed shoulders. I feel so joyful then. Then all I want to do is sleep, sleep forever on your shoulder, in your embrace."
It was not seen as a love letter, but a sign of affection and gratitude for healing her son- she turned to Rasputin for spiritual distress.
It was widely claimed that the Tsarina and Rasputin were working for the Germans.
