The Moika Palace was the residence of the Russian aristocrat Prince Felix Yusupov in St Petersburg during the early 20th century. In December 1916, the Prince and his co-conspirators Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich and Vladimir Purishkevich murdered the Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin. (PROSE: The Wages of Sin)
Behind the scenes
- The original script for TV: The Power of the Doctor had the Spy Master, whilst disguised as Rasputin, be gravely wounded by Prince Yusopov and his henchmen in the Winter Palace, rather than the Moika Palace.[1]
