Weird History only scrapped the surface of this man, I highly recommend reading about him on your own. His life was truly crazy down to his pickled penis (that his daughter confirmed was his)
I like to ask which story is more likely: A group of assassins poisoned him, shot him, castrated him and threw him in the river, or that they shot him in the head, threw him in the river and then made the story up to make it sound more exciting.
One thing that I've always thought was interesting was when Rasputin saw Alexis for the first time, he told Alexandra not to let the doctors give Alexis aspirin for pain. Very good advice since aspirin is a blood thinner and the LAST thing someone with Hemophilia needs is a blood thinner. How did Rasputin know that?
Willow bark was used for centuries before Aspirin existed in a synthesized product. The people who used this folk remedy more than likely were aware of its blood thinning properties.
He likely didn’t know, but he was probably trying to create distrust towards Alexis’s doctors so he could further manipulate and control the boy’s parents, by suggesting that the aspirin wouldn’t help.
Rasputin was his last name at birth, not a nickname. He came from a family of Rasputins that dated their lineage back to the 17th centrury (at first, it was spelled Rosputa). Two hundred years later, over 30 peasants in his village bore this last name. By the way, "Rasputin" could have come from распутство (rasputstvo = debauchery), распутица (rasputitza = muddy season), or распутье (rasputye = fork in the road). The first one is the least likely, since no pious Christian would want their family name to hint at depravity.
@A M They were peasants. The main difference is that peasants (a) own smaller land plots and few basic farming tools (or even rent them) and (b) consume all of the product they produce. Farmers (a) own large plots of land + more sophisticated farming tools and (b) produce an excess product that can be sold. In the 2nd half of the 19th century, most Russian peasants were former serfs. Some of them did acquire some wealth in the years that followed, but considering that Rasputin was born in 1869, i.e. 8 years after the abolition of serfdom, his family couldn't have come into money so soon. By the 1910s, farming in Russia was still in its infancy. Its development was interrupted by WWI and the 1917 revolution.
I read a great book on Rasputin when I was in college called "The Rasputin File" by Edvard Radzinsky. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about him.
This man's just got to go", declared his enemies But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please" No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms Then one night some men of higher standing Set a trap, they're not to blame "Come to visit us", they kept demanding And he really came
He is such an interesting historical character. Great video, it really helps for understanding that period in time between the royals and him. Thank you for the video.
He had an extreme input and intelligence from all the military base I'm sure he knew that this was in the works it isn't that he had this great vision he just as a fairly smart man and he put things together simple
Forgot to mention the part of the story where after they dumped him in the river there was evidence that he was still alive and actually ended up freezing to death. Nevermind, there it is.
“The Last Czar” on Netflix is an excellent docu-drama. The Rasputin episodes are very interesting. It appears Rasputin was a super freak….and well-endowed (supposedly).
@@missbhavin4philly I love documentaries/docudramas. I’ve seen The Last Czar about three times. The Age of Samurai: The Battle for Japan is another very good one. I’ve seen it at least three times also.
You know it's the weird history channel when the word cuckolded is in the script. As someone who only knew Rasputin basics, but has always been interested in the man, this was perfect.
Yea they all meet up there for good deals on them. They got those packs that got so many in them for such a low price. I think that’s where my mom went to also. At least the ones who go out for milk are thinking about something for the house lol
The two funniest things about Rasputin's murder: 1. Rasputin was not a fan of cake. That's probably why plan 'assassinate Rasputin with cake poison' failed. 2. Felix Yusopov's wife, Irina, wrote to him after the assassination, and the letter can be summed up as "what were you thinking, how could you be so stupid, why didn't you invite me?"
Simple, he's a vampire. No body (did anyone document that fire?) Poisoned, bludgeoned, shot, and put into a freezing river, only to crawl his way out downstream. He disappeared (wouldn't you leave after that?) and hasn't been seen since, having taken up residence in a mountain with other outcasts. Or, at least that's the story I'm weaving in a novel. :) Bk 5 of my series.
I heard that disclaimers for movies were made, because someone made a short movie about Rasputin, which made the assassin's wife complain about it, which is why disclaimers exist
His suggestion to stop the treatment of Aspirin for his hemophilia seemed to ease the bleeding. As we know today Aspirin for clotting disorders can be fatal. It gave the impression he had mystical powers.Back then Aspirin was a cure all drug for everything.
@@kennethkobylakiewicz3157 Rasputin never mentioned aspirin by name. He was too uneducated to know about its effect. He just told the parents to "not let the doctors bother the boy too much". When the doctors were removed, so was the aspirin.
Outstanding, ya weirdos lol. Really, best doc I've seen on him. You totally nailed this one 👏. Takes a weirdo to know a weirdo I guess lol. Have a great day
In all of my literal Education I've never came across this person. It's only until i started playing video games and came across the Grigori Rasputin character in Shadow Hearts: Covenant (shadow hearts 2) and his story with the Russian aristocracy in the alternate history of the game's plot that i really took interest in this historical character. I have to say, with regards to actual history. This man really makes quite the stories
As late as 1979, Rasputin still had a huge influence over Russia's pop culture. For example, when I visited Russia in 1979, one of their biggest hit songs was "Rasputin" by Boney M.
A suggestion for a video: Tom Horn. Two movies about him, 1979 "Mr. Horn" with David Carradine and 1980 "Tom Horn" with Steve McQueen. Wild West character when the West was not wild anymore. Cowboy, trick roper, scout, tracker, interpreter, Pinkerton, police, soldier, killer... yet maybe unjustly executed.
My friends and I questioned that as teens. We came to the educated guess agreement that him using his hands to eat his food could have been a silver/metal allergy. Being royal, you know they didn't have fakes at the table. Eating with his hands cover the issue. Then again, he probably was a gross person.
There was a secret police report from 1 a.m., outside Rasputin's apartment. A naked woman clutching her clothes to herself flees from his apartment into the night, while Rasputin wearing only a bathrobe emerges from his door saying nothing, but simply laughing at her.
Alan Rickman was a fabulous Rasputin. It was an HBO movie back in the day. Perhaps you can find it on HBO Max. I think it’s his best role. It I am fascinated by Rasputin.
at the alexander palace, nicholas and alexandra's primary residence, rasputin was forced to hose down before he was admitted into the presence of the imperial couple.
So first heard of Rasputin from the animated film Anastasia. Then in I did Modern History 2008-09 in High School about the Russian revolution and then I did my essay of Russia for Anastasia and couldn't believe what happened. The song "Rasputin" by Boney M is all true to his death, except the forget to add that after they killed him they dumped his corpse in a frozen lake.
I’m thinking about the indigo girls song “closer to fine.” The lyrics are “I went to see a dr of philosophy. With a poster of Resputin and a beard down to his knees.” I get it now. That would be fucking terrifying
Ra..Ra.. Rasputin lover of the Russian Queen. There was a cat that really was gone Ra..Ra.. Rasputin Russian's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on.😜 R
Imo the best cinematic portrayal of Rasputin was ex Doctor Who Tom Baker, in the film Nicholas and Alexander. Just look up production photos of him in it to see how uncanny his likeness was. :)
...so I guess he wasn't buried in his "Smell Hat"? 🤔 (See Weird History's upload on perfume for the reference) Keep it up guys! Love the channel and all the tidbits that make up our "Weird History"! Be safe everyone! LLAP! 🖖😎
I love thé depiction of Rasputin in my favorite game Shadow Hearts Covenant. Really eerie that his intro music in the game and the music this video opened with is one in the same.
Alexei's hemophilia had nothing to do with inbreeding. Hemophilia is a sex-linked disease, and the whole _point_ of sex-linked diseases is that to get one a son only needs _one allele_ from the mother and _not_ matching alleles from both parents.
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear, But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear.
He could preach the Bible like a preacher, full of ecstasy and fire. But he also was the kind of teacher women would desire.
RA RA RASPUTIN
LOVER OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEN
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN. RUSSIA'S GREATEST LOVE MACHINE. IT WAS A SHAME HOW HE CARRIED ON.
He ruled the russian land and never mind the czar but the kasachock He danced really wunderbar!
This guy was the definition of "crazy eyes" I'd never look this man in the eyes. Looks like he would suck out your soul.
Knowing rasputin, hed definitely suck out your soul. In more ways than one
He had light blue eyes. In today's ideology that is a beautiful trait. 💙

damn this is interesting. someone should write a song about him that people can shake their ass to

And only if a white man can sing the song and a black quartet can lip synch the lyrics. Hmmmm,.....

I've read that book. It's a very good look into the man and his era.
Rasputin is my favorite "character" in the history of the world, people as iconic and unique as him are only born once in a thousand years
This man's just got to go", declared his enemies
But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us", they kept demanding
And he really came

Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine

He drank it all and said I feel fiiiine
And so they shot him 'til he was dead.
If the eyes are the window to the soul- he shares the same soul as Charles Manson with that sometimes intense and sometimes empty stare...
He is such an interesting historical character.
Great video, it really helps for understanding that period in time between the royals and him.
Thank you for the video.
These videos are very well done. They are well written, amusing, entertaining, and very well narrated.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! While I love all of your content I am a sucker for anything Rasputin!! This was one of my favourite videos so far☺️☺️
the assassins messed up when they tried to poison him with his favorite food
He consumed enough potassium cyanide to kill a dozen men.Before the gun shots and drowning in the ice choked river
He was like a gnarly/horny/grungy version of Merlin that was living another life.
I dig it.
Honestly, most of the Anastasia tv shows and films are very loosely based on a true story, including the #mockbusters of course.
He had an extreme input and intelligence from all the military base I'm sure he knew that this was in the works it isn't that he had this great vision he just as a fairly smart man and he put things together simple
He wasn't able to predict his own death. That would have been the most important prediction he could make.
He did predicted, with that end of xars regime
@@RailTV01 he didn't predict that he would get shot twice at a dinner party in 1916.
