Although Rasputin didn't play any significiant part , during the Russia Revolution, he was the main trigger that brought about widespread revolt before it and brought much pain and suffering. The other contributing factors are the start of the World War one, and the disease, Hemophilia, that had struck Tsar Nicholas II's son.
The disease was actually passed down to his son, by his wife Alexendra. The couple choose not to divulge the secret behing the son's condition, fearing serious complications if the truth was known. She turned to many Russian doctors and physicians but all their treatment failed, so she had to resort to desparate measures, turn to mystics and the holy men, and soon chanced upon Rasputin, who later healed her son.
The Russian people had already feel resentful about Alexendria as she never at all care about state matters, let at all attend any imporrtant functions, and usually shun the media and the public, always indoors, so people start having thoughts that Rasputin is controlling her life, making her neglect about the country's affairs, but in real life, she was at home attending to her sick kid, and Rasputin was actually the healer of the kid, so many laid the blame on Rasputin for politcally influencing her, thus leading to the collapse of the Tsar regime.
The other factor is the WWI. It lead to millions of dead and wounded, and cause hidden vegenance to break out among people, who condemned the Tsar for not surrendering earlier.
