No, far from it. Rasputin wanted to keep the Romanovs alive because he was benefiting from being a favorite of Empress Alexandra. In December 1916, Rasputin was murdered by certain members of the Russian aristocracy who disliked the fact that he had become a powerful person just because he had Alexandra's favor.
In July 1918, the Romanovs were murdered by members of the secret police, the Cheka, and Red Army soldiers on orders from Vladimir Lenin.

What killed Rasputin?
Rasputin was killed by a group of conspirators who believed he had too much influence over the Russian royal family. They lured him to a gathering and then poisoned him with cyanide. However, that failed to kill him, so they shot him multiple times and dumped his body in a river where he ultimately died from drowning.
What is the legend of rasputin?
He was a monk that was brought to assist Tsar Nicholas II's son, Alexei. The son of the Tsar had hemophilia, and Rasputin was said to have mystical powers that could cure the young boy's disease. Before and after being appointed to his position, Rasputin was rumoured to having an elaborate sex life. He was reported to having held orgies, and pictures were often taken of him surrounded by many women. These actions however did not conflict with his religious beliefs, for his religion believed in fulfilling the desires of men. After being positioned to help Alexei, Rasputin gained political power as well. As the Tsar was away for assignments of WW1, the Tsarina was put in charge. She was greatly influenced by Rasputin due to his dedication to cure her son. Although the Tsarina was always announcing the political changes, Rasputin played a major part in the decision making process. This power that Rasputin was holding was well recognized by the Russian people, and in turn it became a cause of the 1917 February/ March Revolution. Many accusations were made against him from rape to being a German spy during WWI. In the end he was stabbed, poisoned, shot, beaten and drowned by assassins who found he was difficult to kill when he survived attack after attack. .
Why did Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov murder Rasputin?
The murder of Rasputin has become legend, some of it invented by the very men who killed him, which is why it becomes difficult to discern exactly what happened. It is, however, generally agreed that, on December 16, 1916, having decided that Rasputin's influence over the Tsaritsa had made him a far-too-dangerous threat to the empire, a group of nobles, led by Prince Felix Yusupov and the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich (one of the few Romanov family members to escape the annihilation of the family during the Red Terror), apparently lured Rasputin to the Yusupovs' Moika Palace, where they served him cakes and red wine laced with a massive amount of cyanide. According to legend, Rasputin was unaffected, although Vasily Maklakov had supplied enough poison to kill five men. Conversely, Maria's account asserts that, if her father did eat or drink poison, it was not in the cakes or wine, because, after the attack by Guseva, he had hyperacidity, and avoided anything with sugar. In fact, she expressed doubt that he was poisoned at all.

Who was the mad monk of Russian history?
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin (Григо́рий Ефи́мович Распу́тин) Grigory Rasputin (1872-1916) was a Russian mystic and quasi-holy man who rose from peasant farmer to become adviser to Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918) and his wife, Tsarina Alexandra (1872-1918). Sometime in 1905 or shortly thereafter, Alexandra had come into contact with Rasputin, and, showing he was able to effectively treat Nicholas's and Alexandra's severely hemophiliac son Alexis (1904-1918), Rasputin quickly gained favor with the Russian rulers. But the prime minister and members of the legislative assembly, the Duma, could see Rasputin was a disreputable character, and they feared his influence on the tsar. They even tried to exile Rasputin, but to no avail. By 1913, one year before the outbreak of World War I (1914-18), the Russian people had become acutely aware of Tsar Nicholas's weaknesses as a ruler-not only was his government subject to the influence of a pretender like Rasputin, but the events of Bloody Sunday had irreversibly marred the tsar's reputation. That year the Romanov dynasty was marking its 300th anniversary: members of the royal family had ruled Russia since 1613. But public celebrations, intended to be jubilant affairs, were instead ominous, as the crowds greeted Nicholas's public appearances with silence. Russia's entry into World War I proved to be the beginning of the end for Nicholas, with Rasputin at the front and center of the controversy that swirled around the royal court. During the first year of fighting against Germany, Russia suffered one military catastrophe after another. These losses did further damage to the tsar and his ministers. In the fall of 1915, urged on by his wife, Nicholas left St. Petersburg and headed to the front to lead the Russian troops in battle himself. With Alexandra left in charge of government affairs, Rasputin's influence became more dangerous than ever. But in December 1916, a group of aristocrats put an end to it once and for all when, during a palace party, they laced Rasputin's wine with cyanide. Though the poison failed to kill Rasputin, the noblemen shot him and deposited his body in a river later that night. Nevertheless, the damage to Nicholas and Alexandra had already been done: By that time virtually all educated Russians opposed the tsar, who had removed many capable officials from government office, only to replace them with the weak and incompetent executives favored by Rasputin. The stage had been set for revolution.

It is, however, generally agreed that, on December 16, 1916, having decided that Rasputin's influence over the Tsaritsa had made him a far-too-dangerous threat to the empire, a group of nobles, led by Prince Felix Yusupov and the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich (one of the few Romanov family members to escape the annihilation of the family during the Red Terror), apparently lured Rasputin to the Yusupovs' Moika Palace, where they served him cakes and red wine laced with a massive amount of cyanide.

Why were the Russian people worried about Rasputin?
Because Rasputin seemed to have a lot of influence on the czar and czarina and the people didn't trust him because he had inappropriate relations with many women.The Russian people weren't worried about Rasputin. The aristocracy was worried about him. Rasputin was widely known and respected among peasants and Jews for helping the poor and for his healing abilities. When he began easing the pain and bleeding of the tsarevitch Alexei, he became a confidante to the Royal Family. The nobility didn't like a peasant being so close to the Tsar, especially because his advice of not getting involved in war, helping the poor by giving them land to farm, and giving equal rights to the Jews, were not in the best interests of the upper class. So, they spread rumors of mythical proportion about Rasputin's drunken behavior and womanizing (which unfortunately became accepted as history) to discredit him and, when that didn't work, they brutally murdered him. Of course, this didn't help their cause since, several months later, the Russian Revolution took everything from the nobles anyway. And, Rasputin had nothing to do with the revolution, which was really all about centuries of oppression and poverty for most of the Russian population. In fact, Rasputin had warned the Tsar that if he didn't do something to equalize the classes, there would be revolution. It is notable, too, that Rasputin never harmed a soul in his life, while the Romanovs (along with the rest of the extremely anti-Semitic aristocracy) were responsible for the senseless slaughter and torture of entire villages of Jews, simply because they were Jews. The Romanovs had blood on their hands; Rasputin did not. Even if all the stories of drinking and womanizing had been true, wouldn't that be more acceptable than brutally murdering thousands of people?
