To Kill Rasputin: The Life and Death of Grigori Rasputin (Revealing History) (39 page)

27 Professor John Lewis Gaddis, senior fellow of the Hoover Institution, as quoted in Dorril, p.xiii.

28 Alex Danchev, Professor of International Relations at the University of Nottingham, as quoted in Dorril, p.xiv.

29 Alley’s second cousin, Michael Alley, expressed the view within the family that he ‘got into trouble in Murmansk’ (interview with author, 15 March 2005). Alley’s papers certainly give strong indications that he was involved in a special assignment in Murmansk at this time, which may ultimately have resulted in failure. This is an area the author intends to research further in due course.
