The Russian Rite of the Templar Order were a group of like-minded individuals who swore allegiance to the Templar ideals and operated throughout Russia during the Russian Revolution period of the early 20th century.
History
Russian Revolution
During the late 19th century, the Templars started gaining strong influence over the Russian Empire and the ruling House of Romanov. Both Tsar Alexander II and Tsar Alexander III became strong allies of the Templar Order, and supported their goals. As a result, the Russian Assassins and its left-wing terrorist offspring, the Narodnaya Volya, targeted the Romanovs, eventually managing to kill Tsar Alexander II in 1881. The Assassin Nikolai Orelov made an attempt on the life of Tsar Alexander III, in which he was unsuccessful due to the Tsar's surprising strength, stamina and his possession of a Staff of Eden, and the event eventually turned into the Borki train disaster.[1]
Tsar Alexander III died in 1894 of kidney failure. His son Nicholas II, who was not an ally to the Templars, gained control over the Empire, and the Templar agent Grigori Rasputin infiltrated Nicholas' close circle by "miraculously" healing his son. After being close enough, Rasputin replaced the Staff of Eden with a replica,[1] taking the real artifact to a Templar research station in Tunguska.[2]
In 1908, Orelov obtained the station's location and, together with a group of other Assassins, was sent to destroy the artifact. While the Assassins killed the Templars inside and secured the station, their ally Nikola Tesla sent a bolt of electricity from the USA, causing the station to explode and the Staff to be scattered into pieces; known commonly as the Tunguska explosion.[1] Rasputin somehow managed to obtain one of those pieces and used it to hypnotize and control the Imperial family.[1]Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #3</ref> Rasputin himself was later killed by the Assassins, and the Templars lost control over Russia.[2]
The Russian Imperial family was overthrown during the Russian Revolution, and power shifted to Vladimir Lenin, an ally of the Assassins and leader of the newly formed Soviet Union.[3]
Controlling the Soviet Union
After Lenin's death in 1924, Joseph Stalin, his subordinate, who was secretly controlled by the Templars, took over control of the Soviet Union.[3] Under his rule, the Soviet Union became a totalitarian, corrupt and decrepit state,[4] presenting the capitalistic economies of the Western powers – a system created by the Templars – in a more positive light.[5] However, on 5 March 1953, Joseph Stalin was eventually killed by the Assassins, ending his thirty-one year rule.[3]
Dissolution of the Soviet Union
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the head of state of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, wanted to reform the country through his policy of "perestroika". The Templars realized that Gorbachev did not share their interests, so they had the British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, contact Boris Yeltsin, after which Yeltsin began to stand up to communism and gain popularity. In December 1991, the Templars called a secret meeting in Belavezhskaya Forest, and later that month, Gorbachev was unseated and Yeltsin became the head of the newly-formed Russian Federation.[5]
