At the beginning of World War 1 which outsider helped speed up to decline of czars government?

At the beginning of World War I, Grigori Rasputin, a mystical advisor to the Romanov family, significantly undermined the credibility of the czar's government. His influence over Tsarina Alexandra, particularly regarding the treatment of their hemophiliac son, led to widespread discontent among the Russian populace and nobility. Rasputin's controversial presence and perceived manipulation of the royal family contributed to the growing dissatisfaction with Czar Nicholas II, ultimately accelerating the decline of the czarist regime.
