      Rasputin 'The deviL N'carnate'?? (Highly Quest'ion-able) This man was given the great responsibility 2 try 2 seek health 4 a Countress' son who was deathly ill:( @ that time N his-tory people were commonly taking Aspirin 4 EVERYTSING. *However, it was acknowledged & realized that IF Rasputin had given Aspirin, this would have KILLED this woman's son. Gregori was will N'formed & led by successful healing forces: however his superego convinced him that his services N'titled him 2 more than a sincere 'TY'. So the devil showed up N Rasputin when he gave place N'stead of fighting the good fight of faith. Now days, people (Simon Cowell took his best friend's wife) {Song 4 The Occasion from Motley Crue singing '..my dad with my best friend's wife..'} R following the same backstabbing vulture path with the N'tertainment N'dustry agg'ing this B'havior on soap operas ALWAYS:( If Rasputin was the deviL N'carnate: then the woods R full of such varments

      I know that the other option is farfetched as well but the aspirin idea seems like a bit of a straw-clutch from people who loath having to say, "yeah we're not really too sure about that one". Especially as the kid remained well after that.

      There were other times: Rasputin used to try to use his influence with the Tzar to stop the numerous violent pogroms being committed against the Jews in Russia: it made him enemies in the court of the Tzar. I think Rasputin is one of the most difficult historical personalities to come to any definite conclusions about: whether he was a good or evil man, or both, some have said he was demonized and slandered intentionally by his enemies but I don't know. I plan on reading the biography of him that was written by his own daughter. He stank though, you can take that to the bank.

    I learned about Rasputin from a teacher in elementary school. She had done one of those cute things on the first day of school where they start a conversation by doing something with a little fact from each student. She found a famous person for each of our birthdays, and told kids who shared birthdays that they did...and she couldn't really find anyone who shared mine. The best she could do was "They THINK Rasputin was born on your birthday." Fourth grade me: "...who?"
    Did a lot to help my weirdo kid status, obviously. Thanks Mrs Brown.

    My late husband was the son of a Karelian refugee. He drank a lot of vodka, chased women, prayed a lot, talked to dead people and had a beard you could hide a goat in and the most intense blue eyes I have seen outside of Game of Thrones. My grandmother compared him to Rasputin, and he considered it a great compliment!

      Tbh, it was just the dynamic of 19th century Russia. Young people would cause trouble and get sent to Siberia, where they went insane. Then they returned to cause insane trouble and got sent back to Siberia to become even more insane. Tolstoj was almost the last person in Russian history who wasn't sent to Siberia to become insane, yet he was already pretty insane so didn't need it anyway. A lot of trouble could have been prevented if the liberal Czars of the 19th century had simply shot people instead.

    That explains why they used Rasputin the way they did in the Kingsmen movie. Pretty on point lol.

    The story of the Mad Monk is incredible.
    He was practically indestructible. Ate poison that would have killed 10 men, shot multiple times, then boxed up and thrown into the Volga. Cause of death: drowning. Mad Lad.

    Rasputin is such a terrifying but fascinating historical figure.

    Its unnerving exactly how much he predicted.....he was crazy but i think he was a psychological genius, he truly knew the outcome of actions on people. Combined with the way he died it makes me wonder the stuff we dont know about Rasputin how did he do what he did. He wasnt just a hobo he was an enigma of questions

    Rasputin claiming to be the second coming of Christ just prompts that Life of Brian quote: "He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy!"
