If anyone is interested, there's a great book called Killing Rasputin that came out last year that examines his life as well as the sociopolitical climate of Russia at the time
@Greenly Taylor, dear, a question. Is the book like a serious historical study of him, or is it like a historical thriller? Thanks so much, greeting from Colombia.
The sex, the charisma, the piercing eyes, the scraggly beard, the cult following of women and the self-professed connection with the devil... we could be listening to a video on Charles Manson.
ruben martinez. Now that's a scary thought. I suppose it is possible. Being a descendant of "the devil incarnate' would probably have been a point of pride for Manson.
Rasputin was found on a floating piece of ice. What I read was that after being poisoned, shot multiple times, and thrown into an icy body of water, he actually died of hypothermia. Yes, he had water in his lungs, but he was found on top of a floating piece of ice, proving that he actually survived drowning and froze to death.
No mention of the disco group - Boney M., that had a hit called 'Rasputin' ... whose lead singer/dancer decades later would be visiting St. Petersburg for a tour, died of a heart attack on the same day Rasputin died.
This video was actually interesting until I heard “it was abnormally large”, then my mind turned to the brain of a 12 year old and I laughed for so long
The only ones that called him evil were christian extremists or rich people who didnt want somebody to succeed in society. İ think rasputin was a man that did what he wanted, and so needs life to be for all of us.
You should have titled this video "Top Ten Renowned Myths About Rasputin, concluded with insufficient evidence and speculation derived from popular culture interpretation" much catchier
Marc Magma Most likely at least 1. humans that are possessed by evil spirit(s) , 2. very evil and corrupt secret societies humans (usually also belong to 1. and 3.) and 3. rich jews (usually also belong to 1. and 2.)
He wasn't impossible to kill, and he didn't rise from the dead. Just hard to kill. He sounds to have a few things in common with Joseph Smith. Simon, you may want to do a biography on him
"Rasputin and the Empress" was an early MGM film that starred John, Lionel and Ethel Barrymore. The only film that starred the three siblings of the great Barrymore family. Lionel Barrymore played the part of Rasputin and did a great job.
OMG his eyes are so scary.. No need to watch horror movies just stare at his picture and you'll have nightmares for nights. It's like he'll possess someone through their phone.😣
Rasputin was a member of a sect called the "Khlyst' (хлысть)", meaning "whip", not "killists". Much more importantly, it is now widely know that Yusupov exaggerated his involvement in the killing of Rasputin and almost certainly fired only the first shot of three that eventually killed the man. The second was fired by an accomplice of Yusupov almost immediately afterwards and both were fired within the room in which they were all drinking. One bullet entered his abdomen and badly damaged his liver (1st shot) and the other entered a kidney (2nd shot). The third and fatal shot was almost certainly delivered several minutes later by a British Secret Service agent called Oswald Rayner using a service revolver fired to Rasputin's head from the front when he was lying on his back near an entrance to the palace gate where he had probably been carried to be whisked away in a waiting car. The third bullet was a different calibre to that of the first two bullets and exactly matches the type of weapon carried by SIS agents of the time. Convincing documentary and other evidence has been found that supports this theory whilst Rayner is known to have been in the palace on the night of the murder. It may be that the body was dumped in the river after the killing but the liquid in the lungs may just have been wine that had 'gone down the wrong way' - I don't know. The British and French governments were terrified that the Russians were being talked into pulling out of WW1 by Rasputin, something which would have freed up around 350,000 extra German troops for the western front and this could have changed the course of the whole war, so the SIS cell in Moscow, (forerunner of MI6), planned what was probably a rogue operation to rid themselves of a threat to national security. The SIS codename for Rasputin was 'Dark Forces'. Oswald Rayner burned all of his papers shortly before his death to try to keep the operation secret.
Grigori tried to warn the Tsar off entering the war, from mobilising, but at the opening of the war Rasputin was stranded in Siberia, and the Tsar wanted to hear nothing of his prophecies or warning, no matter his hold over the Tsarina.
YES! Thank you so much! This is exactly what I have been trying to tell people! If Nicholas had listened to Rasputin, we wouldn't have the current Ukraine-Russia conflict!
Also, according to Douglas Smith and the author of "Rasputin"the Untold Story",they didn't find water in his lungs, he was dead when they threw him in the river.
You forgot how he broke free of form being tied up and throw in the frozen river, when they found his body he was frozen solid halfway through climbing out of the river.
There was a song titled Rasputin, recorded by Boney M. in 1978. It's not too well known in the USA, but I heard it when I was living in Germany. The group was one man and 3 women - they were born in the Caribbean but were based in Germany. The man died in St. Petersburg.
I think my last live-in caregiver must have been related to this guy. Same eyes, long beard, bathed every 4 mths if I was lucky and weared the same clothes 24/7. He never brushed his teeth. I finally convinced my caseworker to fire him. Took months to get my home to smell better
"Kosorotov found a single bullet in Rasputin's body, but stated that it was too badly deformed and of a type too widely used to trace. He found no evidence that Rasputin had been poisoned. According to both Douglas Smith and Joseph Fuhrmann, Kosorotov found no water in Rasputin's lungs, and reports that Rasputin had been thrown into the water alive were incorrect."
You mention at (at 0:30) that Rasputin was a "monk". Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin (1869-1917) IS something called "a monk" or a "mystic". But he was really just a peasant from the countryside, who somehow rose to royal advisor to the Romanovs. He WAS a very clever conman and master manipulator, but Raputin was never a member of a religious order, of any kind.
Both exist. It's just like knowing you have Evil within you and unquenchable Lust then when you get done doing the act you feel horrible about yourself and fight the inner Demons and verbally express this..
Albert Guerrero No. These are mostly lies made up about him by other members of Russian aristocracy who didn't like that he was influencing Nicholas to stay out of WWI.
The problem with Alexi and his hemophilia was not a cut or scratch but a bump especially in a joint like knee or elbow that caused excruciating pain d/t swelling from blood seeping into the joint. The speculation is that Rasputin was able to relax and calm Alexi so he could heal as the blood was reabsorbed by the body
Say what you will, rasputin had a knack for telling the future and although he may have come off scary, he healed many many ppl and predicted the downfall of the Tsar, his family, and of Russia.

Shunning bathing is somewhat common among Orthodox priests. I lived in St. Petersburg for 3 years and would see them every so often. I remember running into a group at The Hermitage and you could smell them several feet away, and see that their hair was oily and dirty. It's part of shying away from vanity, cutting one's hair, beard and general grooming are considered vanity.
The thing you have to realize about Rasputin, is he did have some uncommon knowledge and access to certain esoteric and real spiritual practices. There is a type of tantric energy siphoning that is theorized to only work when you lover is both enamored and seduced as well as taken to the heights of ecstacy, to the point that you are covered in their love fluids. THats one reason Rasputin didnt bathe. He also believed in a type of draconic belief in that true cleanliness is already taken care of enough by the body, and further actual cleanly practises, such as bathing, were antithetical to said belief. Another thing is that he was not utterly illiterate, recognizing, and memorizing various alphabetical symbols enough to know a name when he saw it frequently or a place on a map rarely. Likely he had autism in a minor form, but he was supposedly schooled in the use of certain mystic symbols and words, so he could perform rituals, real or not. There are also numerous accounts of mystics siphoning the energies of others, not just through sex, but proximity by way of mental or emotional stimulus, both of which supposedly are easy to do for just about anyone with proper practice. These ideas are at times referred to as " emotional/psychic vampirism". The harder thing to do, aside from the accounts of Rasputin's hypnotic gaze and mind controlling presence, is the siphoning of energy through sheer close proximity or physical contact. With this rare and darker esoteric talent, a person could enliven themselves frequently in any number of situations, especially when coupled with the afore mentioned methods. And the younger the "victim" or candidate is than you, the more energy you, in theory , could siphon. HEnce, another reason, aside from the obvious, why Rasputin banged so many women and whores. IT gave him power of the ego, the mind, and the spirit and body in a real sense. Gandhi did something similar, sadly, and though most people are not aware of it, while on his fasts he would often invite people to bring their children to his house to spend the day and night in the guise of " teaching the children about pacifism while vicariously using the childrens upbeat and youthful activity to embolden and uplift his own frail spirits during fast". Thats me paraphrasing. However, as a man that had formed connections to certain gurus or vedics with the knowledge of energy transmission from person to person, Gandhi often would take a small sliver of youthful energy from the children, having them all share a large bed with him in the night. There was nothing sexual about it at all, but reports were always to the tune of " the following day when parents would come to fetch their children, the kids were often tired and seemingly out of sorts, and looked it, whilst Gandhi would miraculously be in both high spirits, abd beaming with energy and healthy vigor". You can look those accounts up for yourselves, but every country in the world had knowledge of these traits and more, from soothsayers/seers, prophets, oracles, which are in fact different form each other; along with sin eaters, psychics, energy siphoners, and any manner of other paranormal things that would in modern times strain credulity. BUt hey, what do I know, over half the world believe in miracles and spirits and an afterlife ruled over by one or more omnipowerful beings in another dimensions. lol o>O
People just cannot resist feeding the myth of this man's supernatural powers. It's really ridiculous. Fact is, he was a remarkable con-man. He had the ability to manipulate people by using their religious beliefs, a very useful potion, especially when given the mantle of holy-healing-man. They hung on his every word. Now that's power. He told the doctors attending Alexei to stop giving him aspirin, which is a blood-thinner. He then told Alexei, as is reported, that he will be well, he will be healed, sleep, sleep, sleep...Those words worked with everything else as a powerful placebo. After that his so-called Holy Powers were held as authentic. More power. The guy knew what he was doing. He had a lot of fun with it, ha. Oh, yeah, cyanide has a limited shelf life. It degrades very quickly. If his food was laced with the stuff, and this is probably true, it was dead stuff, so to speak. The prince who shot him was neither a soldier, let alone a trained assassin. He was scared out of mind of this so-called Holy Man, and pumped off a shot or two, one of which wounded Rasputin but not mortally. Try to strip away the romantic myths and look at the facts, the dry facts; you'll begin to see the truth. What did Marx say, "Religion is the opiate of the masses." He was right. It's still true.
@@Bootmahoy88lmao you just hate the man for doing something with his life, also you just discredited yourself with quoting that rat marx who is the biggest mistake of humanity lately.
Great 10 facts video! Unfortunately Rasputin will always be shrouded with a lot of myth mixed in with the facts because of his connection with Russian royalty, who I am sure did everything possible to keep the facts to themselves and under their control. Also he had a larger than life legend in his own lifetime and these kinds of reputations only grow with time. Very interesting character.
Excellent video. I would really like to see a video on the truly mindblowing NP vs. P problem and its profound implications. Thanks again and well done!
is it weird that I always find it satisfying looking at your shirt collar. It is always very perfectly, neatly organized. I know!!!! it is so weird!!!!!
British (SIS modern day MI6) were present at his assassination. His opposition to Russia fighting Germany in WW1 was extremely concerning for the Western Front allies.
Crooner1901 you're an absolute insane creep if you really mean that. You admire illiterate syphilidic rapist cult leaders?? Dude, your bar is pretty low, bro.
I was told by a Russian that Rasputin was truly an Orthodox monk, and deeply religious. This is in Russian museums. The facts you were spewing out about how he is a bad person is just legends invented by White Russia during the Russian Civil War (1917-1922). His assassination and that the people hated him is true though.
Czarina Alexandra Feodorovna was originally Princess Alix of Hesse, or in other words a Hapsburg, who were the carriers of haemophilia, which then through intermarriage caused most European royal families to have said disease in their genetic line, including Prince of Wales, the primary heir to the Hanover (ahem, Windsor) throne, Charles.
Matti Makila Habsburg? Are you kidding me? She's grandchild of Queen Victoria (Hannover dynasty) and she had family members from German reigning dynasty Hohenzollerns
Matti Makila Her family was DANISH. Her father was very poor junior royal and elevated to the crown through death and "adoption" into the schleswig-Holstein line... She was not German as people think. Her sister was Queen Alexandria of England in the Edwardian age. People always get confused by this....
christine paris No you are not right. You were describing Nicholas II's mother tsarina Maria Feodorovna. She is Danish and sister of English queen and wife of Edward VII. But Alix, wife of Nicholas II. is German for sure

There is a type of tantric energy siphoning that is theorized to only work when you lover is both enamored and seduced as well as taken to the heights of ecstacy, to the point that you are covered in their love fluids. THats one reason Rasputin didnt bathe. He also believed in a type of draconic belief in that true cleanliness is already taken care of enough by the body, and further actual cleanly practises, such as bathing, were antithetical to said belief. Another thing is that he was not utterly illiterate, recognizing, and memorizing various alphabetical symbols enough to know a name when he saw it frequently or a place on a map rarely. Likely he had autism in a minor form, but he was supposedly schooled in the use of certain mystic symbols and words, so he could perform rituals, real or not. There are also numerous accounts of mystics siphoning the energies of others, not just through sex, but proximity by way of mental or emotional stimulus, both of which supposedly are easy to do for just about anyone with proper practice. These ideas are at times referred to as " emotional/psychic vampirism". The harder thing to do, aside from the accounts of Rasputin's hypnotic gaze and mind controlling presence, is the siphoning of energy through sheer close proximity or physical contact. With this rare and darker esoteric talent, a person could enliven themselves frequently in any number of situations, especially when coupled with the afore mentioned methods. And the younger the "victim" or candidate is than you, the more energy you, in theory , could siphon. HEnce, another reason, aside from the obvious, why Rasputin banged so many women and whores. IT gave him power of the ego, the mind, and the spirit and body in a real sense. Gandhi did something similar, sadly, and though most people are not aware of it, while on his fasts he would often invite people to bring their children to his house to spend the day and night in the guise of " teaching the children about pacifism while vicariously using the childrens upbeat and youthful activity to embolden and uplift his own frail spirits during fast". Thats me paraphrasing. However, as a man that had formed connections to certain gurus or vedics with the knowledge of energy transmission from person to person, Gandhi often would take a small sliver of youthful energy from the children, having them all share a large bed with him in the night. There was nothing sexual about it at all, but reports were always to the tune of " the following day when parents would come to fetch their children, the kids were often tired and seemingly out of sorts, and looked it, whilst Gandhi would miraculously be in both high spirits, abd beaming with energy and healthy vigor". You can look those accounts up for yourselves, but every country in the world had knowledge of these traits and more, from soothsayers/seers, prophets, oracles, which are in fact different form each other; along with sin eaters, psychics, energy siphoners, and any manner of other paranormal things that would in modern times strain credulity. BUt hey, what do I know, over half the world believe in miracles and spirits and an afterlife ruled over by one or more omnipowerful beings in another dimensions. lol o>O
That was very informative. Thank you for sharing!

People just cannot resist feeding the myth of this man's supernatural powers. It's really ridiculous. Fact is, he was a remarkable con-man. He had the ability to manipulate people by using their religious beliefs, a very useful potion, especially when given the mantle of holy-healing-man. They hung on his every word. Now that's power. He told the doctors attending Alexei to stop giving him aspirin, which is a blood-thinner. He then told Alexei, as is reported, that he will be well, he will be healed, sleep, sleep, sleep...Those words worked with everything else as a powerful placebo. After that his so-called Holy Powers were held as authentic. More power. The guy knew what he was doing. He had a lot of fun with it, ha. Oh, yeah, cyanide has a limited shelf life. It degrades very quickly. If his food was laced with the stuff, and this is probably true, it was dead stuff, so to speak. The prince who shot him was neither a soldier, let alone a trained assassin. He was scared out of mind of this so-called Holy Man, and pumped off a shot or two, one of which wounded Rasputin but not mortally. Try to strip away the romantic myths and look at the facts, the dry facts; you'll begin to see the truth. What did Marx say, "Religion is the opiate of the masses." He was right. It's still true.
@@Bootmahoy88lmao you just hate the man for doing something with his life, also you just discredited yourself with quoting that rat marx who is the biggest mistake of humanity lately.
Ok pagan larper.
This provided a lot of context for ERB's Rasputin vs Stalin.
just his stare gives me creeps
You are a GENIOUS my friend! THANK YOU!!!!!
Great 10 facts video! Unfortunately Rasputin will always be shrouded with a lot of myth mixed in with the facts because of his connection with Russian royalty, who I am sure did everything possible to keep the facts to themselves and under their control. Also he had a larger than life legend in his own lifetime and these kinds of reputations only grow with time.
Very interesting character.
Excellent video. I would really like to see a video on the truly mindblowing NP vs. P problem and its profound implications. Thanks again and well done!
His eyes remind me of Charles Manson.
is it weird that I always find it satisfying looking at your shirt collar. It is always very perfectly, neatly organized. I know!!!! it is so weird!!!!!
Ra Ra Rasputin Russia’s greatest love machine
British (SIS modern day MI6) were present at his assassination. His opposition to Russia fighting Germany in WW1 was extremely concerning for the Western Front allies.
I admire Resputin! If I could go back in time, I'd have a drink with him.
Credit where due. He was blasted hard to kill.
Crooner1901 you're an absolute insane creep if you really mean that. You admire illiterate syphilidic rapist cult leaders??
Dude, your bar is pretty low, bro.
EminenTFoX Nah. He just needs to bring others down to feel special. I pitty him.
@@Crooner-ds9sy quit whining. Let's change things for the better.
@@scootscootmcgoot6147 really?
Rasputin: Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around my eyes, look into my eyes, you're under.
3,2,1 aaand your back in the room😂
"Size doesn't matter" xD
He did not die, he just decided to leave that body and posses another body
Did he just say “wolves, tigers, bears, vipers, and wolverines?” I know I’m hearing the wrong thing!!!
He's like the Road Runner. He won't go down.
B I G S L A V I C S A U S A G E
He was hung did a lot of women he banged a lot of chicks !!!! Hung like a 🐎.
He's just like plenty of celebrities now. Grew up poor and used his wits and talents to move up. He Wasn't evil, just a party animal.
I was told by a Russian that Rasputin was truly an Orthodox monk, and deeply religious. This is in Russian museums. The facts you were spewing out about how he is a bad person is just legends invented by White Russia during the Russian Civil War (1917-1922). His assassination and that the people hated him is true though.
Yep the second bio was definitely needed as u left out numerous details in this one
Those eyes of Grigori just pierce into my soul...I'm scared...nah actually I'm turned on...
Not 30 seconds in and already you're wrong. HE WASN'T A MONK! ZERO AFFILIATION WITH ANY RELIGIOUS ORDER!
Czarina Alexrandra's Spiritual belief (as was the case with the entire family) was based in Russian Orthodox Christianity.
Thanks for that great explanation on Rasputin.
Czarina Alexandra Feodorovna was originally Princess Alix of Hesse, or in other words a Hapsburg, who were the carriers of haemophilia, which then through intermarriage caused most European royal families to have said disease in their genetic line, including Prince of Wales, the primary heir to the Hanover (ahem, Windsor) throne, Charles.
Matti Makila Habsburg? Are you kidding me? She's grandchild of Queen Victoria (Hannover dynasty) and she had family members from German reigning dynasty Hohenzollerns
Nothing more disgustingly inbred than European royalty. Oh...and Hapsburg were worst offenders. That lip...
Matti Makila
Her family was DANISH.
Her father was very poor junior royal and elevated to the crown through death and "adoption" into the schleswig-Holstein line...
She was not German as people think. Her sister was Queen Alexandria of England in the Edwardian age. People always get confused by this....
Gertruda_AB
Look it up under the the Danish line. Her family and father were Danish. They were the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderberg-Glucksberg line.
christine paris No you are not right. You were describing Nicholas II's mother tsarina Maria Feodorovna. She is Danish and sister of English queen and wife of Edward VII. But Alix, wife of Nicholas II. is German for sure
