The beginning of the 20th century is famous for outstanding personalities and grandiose deeds that can turn the lives of not dozens of people, but entire generations. Before the Soviet revolution, Grigory Rasputin, an approximate royal family. Let's figure it out Interesting Facts from his biography.
Do you want this guy to sleep in your guest room? Seeing how he alone controlled whether the heir to the throne of Russia lived or died, Rasputin quickly became the most powerful bastard in Russia. He used his position close to the royal family to exercise his will over the government, ensure that people loyal to him were installed in the highest positions in the cabinet, and quickly reversed any official attempts to investigate his lineage, his personal life, or his ridiculously sketchy past.
His somewhat incredulous abilities of braided magnetism apparently also dominated the Empress herself, and long before Rasputin held Tsarina Alexandra in the palm of his hand - both literally and figuratively. His almost limitless influence and power and ability to blow up the Empress whenever he felt it led to quite a bit of prestige for Rasputin. Rasputin, for his part, did not boast of anything - he did his own thing and did not persuade the quaint nonsense of the aristocracy.
Rasputin's date of birth is not exactly known (approximately in 1864-1872). Rasputin was very ill from childhood, so he was often taken to monasteries to improve his health, and then he himself began to travel to the Holy places of Russia, later he would visit Athos and Jerusalem. In 1900, a fateful acquaintance with Father Mikhail from the Kazan Theological Academy happened, after which Rasputin thinks about moving.
He wore his normal clothes, talked to nobles the same way he spoke to peasants, and generally did whatever he wanted all the time, and anyone who didn't like it could lick his balls. Outside the highest circles of the government, Rasputin was viewed as a creepy evil bastard who was basically a fully unclenched cross between John Holmes, a grizzly bear, and the physical embodiment of the Antichrist. He was thought to be so evil that his name wasn't spoken publicly - people called him "The Inevitable" or "The Nameless One", which is some serious shit.
Acquaintance with the royal family
In 1903, Rasputin moved to St. Petersburg, entered the circles of well-known clergymen of Russia of that period, often makes speeches and uses the words “old man”, “holy fool”, “ god man' in relation to himself. Father Feofan, at that moment close to Prince Nikolai Negosh, told about the new "God's wanderer" to his daughters Militsa and Anastasia, who shared the news with the Empress. But only a year later, in 1905, for the first time Rasputin was invited to a meeting with the emperor.
Numerous rumors of varying degrees of veracity began swirling around him - his frightened enemies claimed that he had nailed the daughters of the Empress and that he had seduced women with black magic and subconsciously forced them to participate in wild sex orgies with him every Thursday afternoon. They also claimed that he traveled to filming events around downtown St. Pete, and when he got bored of pulling fools with his hat, he entered local monasteries, stripped nuns naked, beat them with a "nine-tails" cat, and his way with them.
Petersburg, which is a claim that many cannot make famous people. He also once fluffed up his trash in a crowded restaurant and waved it angrily at a bunch of Jim Morrison cops, who is also quite fussy. However, Grigory Rasputin is best known for his ability to not die despite being surrounded by people who are actively trying to kill him in an incredibly bloody brutal way. The Prince of Russia invited Rasputin to dinner and fed him loads of cakes and cyanide-laced wine.
Since then, Rasputin has become a frequent guest in the imperial family, especially warm, trusting relations appear with Alexandra Feodorovna. Despite the fact that Rasputin was still young, he called himself an "old man" and exaggerated his age several times.
He especially helped the imperial son fight hemophilia, the leading minds of medicine refused treatment, it remained only to trust traditional medicine and prayers. Several times Rasputin saved Tsarevich Alexei from death (this fact is confirmed by many testimonies). When Alexei was only three years old, he had a severe hemorrhage in his leg. Grigory Efimovich was called urgently, and thanks to his sincere prayer, the bleeding stopped. From that time on, Rasputin became the "bodyguard" of the young Tsarevich. When Alexei was 8 years old, during the hunt he suffered a severe injury, the doctors insisted that the boy was hopeless. The Empress again called Rasputin, but he could not come, as he was in Pokrovsky, but sent a telegram to the empress with the words: “God looked at your tears. Do not worry. Your Son will live." In fact, Alexei's condition has noticeably improved, the danger has passed.
Rasputin ate all the poisonous treats, but was completely unharmed, so the prince decided to leave the monk in the old-fashioned way and shot him in the back with a pistol at point-blank range. Rasputin just got up off the floor, smashed the prince against the wall and started banishing his crap with his bare hands. The nobles fought crazy monk before he could summon some crazy winged ascetic demon to burn them all in an unholy fire and chased Rasputin outside where they were shot three times, beaten with clubs, tied up with him and thrown in the river.
When his body was discovered the next day, they found Rasputin freed from his tricks and struggling to swim. His official reason death was hypothermia. Interestingly, while Rasputin's death was celebrated by the aristocracy, it angered the common people of Russia. They saw him as one of them - an oppressed peasant who fought his way to power only to be killed by a bunch of fucking donkeys with little penis complexes and too much time on their hands.
Another case of saving Alexei Nikolayevich - in 1915, on the train, Tsarevich began to have a nosebleed, the train was stopped, Grigory was urgently called. He arrived, crossed Alexei and told the emperor that nothing terrible would happen to the child, and left. The bleeding stopped immediately. Witnesses to this incident are the doctors of the Royal family, who did not understand at all how this could happen.
After a couple of years, everyone had enough and outraged, killed the tsar and turned Russia into Soviet Union. This is the aftermath of killing an evil monk with a thirteen inch cock for no good reason. You get in the eye, damn communists. Rasputin was the god of sex-gods who came to nothing, struck the Empress, held power over all of Russia, and was such a ruthless evil that the mere mention of his name was considered the cause of cruel omens.
God sent me to save our dear sovereign and Holy Russia. Rather, it is calculated based on the information added to the related person's memorandum. Unfortunately, the German Alexandra did not write to her husband. The object of her devotion was a Siberian peasant with teeth like blackened stumps, dirty breath, yellowed eyes and a terrible beard. A ferocious drunkard and healer who ate fish with his fingers and whose favorite line of communication was to ask women to lick them afterwards, he nonetheless had the fleeing imperial palaces of Russia and was, like a beloved uncle, the Four Daughters of the Tsaritsa.
Rasputin received a salary
Official documents indicate that Grigory Rasputin received 10,000 rubles a year for services to the Royal Family. But the elder gave all the money he received to the poor and his wife and children. After his death, no saved capital appeared on his name, as well as luxurious mansions and dachas in Gagra.
To the royal couple, he was Grishka's brother, a man of god. The only reaction of the king to this case was to send a letter to his wife in a box and dismiss the minister who brought it to him. But for the rest of the world, Rasputin was the self-proclaimed holy man. When he was assassinated a few months before the Russian Revolution, his aristocratic assassins were hailed as national heroes with "worker-workers" passing resolutions to protect the gladiator. However, suffering remains in him.
Gregory's father, a cart driver, was quite well off with an eight-room house and consisted of 12 cows and 18 horses. The young Rasputin was physically advanced: he could stand up for six months and walk after eight months. When he was 12 years old, his family began to attribute mystical qualities to him: cows produced more milk if he was around, he healed a lame horse, and he seemed to have the gift of prophecy. At 14, he nearly killed a man who tried to rob him, and was offered bribes by a priest-priest to keep him out of favor.
Rasputinism or "Khlystism"
The artist of the cartoon is unknown. For the first time in 1903, a case was opened against Rasputin for preaching false doctrine (similar to Khlystism). The local priest claimed that Rasputin takes on the cleansing of women from sinfulness, but for some reason such procedures are carried out in baths. The priest also claimed that it had long been known that Rasputin had been trained in whiplash heresy from his youth.
The trial began, close relatives of the elder were called as witnesses. So his daughter Matryona Rasputina said that at one moment her father stopped drinking, smoking, eating meat, and left home for a long time. The family was sure that the wanderer Dmitry Pecherin, who had recently appeared in the district, influenced Grigory in this way. Another witness, General Spiridonovich, claimed that Rasputin decided to go to Athos after he saw the Mother of God in the field. The house belonging to the Rasputin family was also examined, but nothing illegal was found, the case was closed. Later, historians argue that the conduct of the case was superficial, it has long been known that the zeal of Khlystism is never held in residential premises, but only in baths, in sheds and even cellars.
About women's kisses and illegal medicine
Already in the modern period, historians and writers begin to study the life of Rasputin. A.N. Varlamov devoted several years of his life to the study of historical materials, on the basis of which he published the book “Grigory Rasputin”.
According to the surviving testimonies of witnesses, it is known that Rasputin was engaged in healing, without having permission and a diploma for this business. Only now, because of his treatment, two girls who suffered from consumption died, Rasputin confirmed this fact. Fellow villagers called the cause of the girls' deaths "Grigory's bullying."
Once Rasputin forcibly kissed the prosphora Evkidia Korneeva at the age of 28. As a result, a confrontation was held on this occasion. Rasputin then denied this fact, then says that he forgot.
The priest of the Intercession Church said that he went to see Rasputin on business and saw that he returned wet from the bath, and several girls came in after him - "also wet and steamy." Rasputin, on the other hand, said that he had become very pissed off in the bathhouse and remained lying there, then he came to his senses and left, just at the moment when a company of women entered the bathhouse.
There is an opinion that Grigory Rasputin used a new technique for getting rid of sinfulness, but the St. Petersburg ladies really liked these procedures, that they happily went to Pokrovskoye. Rasputin convinced that through sexual intercourse with him, women are cleansed of carnal sinfulness.
Prophecies of Rasputin

Prince Yusupov and Dmitry Romanov - a conspiracy of homosexuals?
Right - Felix Yusupov, left - Dmitry Romanov Felix Yusupov is a kind of narcissistic capricious major of the early 20th century, a famous transvestite and bisexual of imperial Russia. Of course, in women's outfits, he walked not along Nevsky Prospekt, but in the De Capucine theater in Paris. Yusupov himself says to himself that he liked the attention from women and men, but for a long time connections with no one lingered. After the Parisian triumph, young Yusupov decided to try to perform in St. Petersburg. In a dress embroidered with precious stones of blue tulle, the father recognized the young man, gradually his anger was replaced by a desire to cure his son of such oddities. Grigory Rasputin, well-known in secular circles, was chosen as a doctor. The treatment procedure was more than strange, according to Yusupov, the elder laid him on the threshold of the room, flogged and hypnotized him.
It is not known whether the treatment helped, but the young man no longer sought to dance in dresses and skirts, but married the daughter of Alexander Romanov with the family wealth of the dynasty. Those. Yusupov's wife Irina was the niece of Emperor Nicholas II.
There is an assumption that Yusupov was intimate with Rasputin, which is hard to believe. Moreover, the more sophisticated method of treatment for bisexuality, on the contrary, caused the young man to reject the old man. So, Felix Yusupov became one of the participants in the murder of Grigory Rasputin. The second conspirator was close friend Felix - Dmitry Romanov. Only there is an interesting point in the relationship between Yusupov and Romanov - contemporaries claim intimate ties between friends.
Dmitry Romanov also has complaints about Rasputin. The emperor planned to marry Dmitry to his daughter - rich and beautiful. But Rasputin tells the Tsar and Tsarina about an unconventional sexual orientation prince and his connections with Felix Yusupov. Naturally, the emperor does not want such a fate for his daughter and does not let Dmitry even on the threshold of the royal choir.
Who is still violently killed royal elder?
The old man after the assassination attempt In 1914 Rasputin went to Pokrovskoye. There, one day he sent a telegram to the Empress, at that moment a beggar woman (Khionia Guseva) came up and asked for alms, Rasputin handed over the money, and she stuck a knife in his stomach. The wound was severe, but the elder was saved.
Only in March 1917, Rasputin nevertheless overtook a violent death. The previously mentioned Felix Yusupov and Dmitry Romanov, together with the deputy Purishkevich, would not have thought of the murder themselves, but they became suitable pawns in the hands of the British secret service. Why does the British need Rasputin's death? To prevent the signing of a peace treaty between Russia and Germany. A few words about deputy Purishkevich - this man is remarkable for his amazing strangeness, for example, there is reliable information that on May 1 he once walked around the Duma with a red carnation inserted into his fly.
The main driving force behind the plot was the English intelligence officer Oswald Reiner, who struck up a friendship with Felix Yusupov while studying at Oxford, and through Felix assembled a full group to carry out the assassination. Rasputin was shot in the forehead, incompatible with life. Before the main shot, each of the conspirators fired a bullet, but finished off the royal elder Oswald Reiner.
The killers were not punished: Oswald Reiner returned to his homeland and received a promotion, Felix Yusupov, having collected family jewels on an English warship, moved to England with his wife, Dmitry Romanov spent time under house arrest until revolutionary October. And then, with the remaining members of the Romanov dynasty, he moved abroad and joined the ranks of the English army! Later he marries an American, moves to the USA, and becomes a winemaker.
The fate of Grigory Rasputin is mysterious, rich and tragic at the same time. Rasputin achieved incredible heights, although he could have been an ordinary monk. The elder actually helped Tsesarevich Alexei survive, was the chief adviser to the royal family, and supported the Emperor in a difficult time for Russia. But a lot of negative is hovering around the image of Grigory Rasputin from the evil pagans, 80% of all speculation will remain unconfirmed rumors. And yes, Rasputin was not in an intimate relationship with Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.
In March 2017, it will be 100 years since the death of Grigory Rasputin.
