In 1921 the tzar family was dead. Being dead they could not have helped anyone in a famine.

There is no defiant historical evidence anybody in Romanov family was involved in witchcraft. Its not history, just speculations.

Rasputin wasn't a priest. He was self-declared healer, and had nothing to do with Orthodox church
