True, but it's still an amazing story. Amazing enough that when Last Podcast on the Left covered Rasputin, they told a story about his death that combined the famous story with the known truth.
And the surprising thing is that, even if the attempted poisoning actually did happen (and apparently, the cook chosen to do so chickened out), there's still plenty of mundane reasons such an attempt would have failed, most notably because, well, as far as poisoning methods go, trying to bake cyanide into sweets is one of the worst possible ways to do so; even if the prolonged exposure to extreme heat inherent in the baking process didn't neutralise the cyanide, there's some evidence that sugar (specifically glucose) can make it less lethal.
