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.
It shocks me that his glare can be that unnerving in a century old photo. Those cameras weren’t exactly known for their level of detail. It makes me shudder.
Nadiri Myers he was extremely extremely manipulative and charming even with that a huge amount of Russians hated him and most of the Russian tzars nobility absolutely hated him because they saw exactly what he was but the tzar himself and his wife had all the power and they are the ones who fell for his scams
If this man does not have offsprings then it can only mean one thing. Joseph Stalins purges where ment to specificly kill people ho where in some way related to rasputin
You know, if the tsar listened to Rasputin and stayed out of the great war, there would have never been a Soviet Union. He was crazy, but he wasn't wrong about the infinite misery the great war brought upon Russia
Imagine Charles Manson being an influential advisor to the president of the United States and his entire family. That's pretty much the life story of Rasputin.
But when his lusting and hunger for power became apparent to more and more people, the demands to do something about this outrageous man became louder and louder.
They were doing well, but I was so disappointed that he wasn't the main villain. Man at least deserves the spot light as the main villain if not a main character in his own movie.
You should check why all Hollywood movies have the disclaimer "this is a fictional work, any resemblance to actual persons events is purely coincidental, etc..." You'll also understand why there is no more Rasputin movies.
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.
The fact that he was stabbed repeatedly and had his intestinals torn out, didn't die, ate an entire banquet laced with poison, didn't die, was shot, didn't die, and appeared to have survived drowning before being burned tells you all you need to know about where Rasputin got his powers from.

If he survives disembowelment then off with his head, i am not leaving until he has a crusifix dug into his chest, a bullet into the heart and a head missing
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.
Rasputin was an Orthodox Christian Holy man, who was demonised by the communist leaders and their Puppet masters who also controlled the media, via FακεΝεως. Much like the USA today.
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!
He has the creepiest stare ever. Good grief I can’t imagine how intense it must have been to be standing right in from of them. Also when he said he would pick his nose and eat it, I was eating at the same time. Just pushed my plate away🤢
@@yeahyeah4433 Ir's only with those eyes any man or women You'd know would have bone chilling depth in life, whether in science , scholarship whatever pursuit, THOSE Eyes are the signs of a serious Human, I'd rather have those eyes than a man who smiles too much, There is nothing funny in the pursuit of Science, knowledge and secrets of nature , Those eyes represent the hole, the Bone chilling hole of existance, Why am I here? What is God? this Black question is why people become scientists, and philosophers
Im convinced that he ALWAYS had that creepy stare. 1,000 yard stare, 100%. Definitely chilling to see, kinda wild how much fear you could instill in a person with just a look/stare‼️💯
Edward Lewis are you sure? How would you know that? Maybe they edited that chapter, so they could write about the talking donkey! I mean a talking donkey is much more believable than Rasputin!
Feral Cyborg Gaming that is sarcasm! People who believe in talking donkeys will believe in anything! There's no limit on what religious people will tell you they believe in, in order to verify their invisible friend!
casco rick Why do people like you feel so obligated to insult the religious? It does not reflect well on irreligious people, and certainly simply insulting God is not going to lead anyone away from him. There is actually pretty serious evidence for the existence of a God and Jesus Christ on a philosophical and scientific level, and opinions are not often just formulated because people tell others to believe such things, you do know.
"Iliodor fled to Finland, dressed as a woman, so that noone would be able to tell where he was going." Well, seeing how we know this today, I'm sure it went well for him.
He said that illiador confessed to the first assassination attempt in a autobiography so my guess is no one knew until he wrote it in his autobiography Let me be clear this is a not so educated guess so talk it with a mountain of salt
Illiodor eventually made his way to America eventually where he was relatively safe. He admitted his claims against Rasputin were exaggerated 💁🏼. Rasputin’s daughter moved to Hollywood and became a lion tamer. Fair dinkum
Whatever one can say against Rasputin: He was a healer and realizing his advice to keep Russia out of the war would have saved millons of lives and the tsars family. And no communist revolution, no Stalin. Thats much more important than Rasputins lifestyle which resembles very much that of a modern popstar.
@@rudolfkraffzick642 so true. The war wouldn't have dragged Russia into an economic stagnation and led to the revolution. Rasputin was right about if he was killed by the nobility the tsar wouldn't live past 2 years after
@@rudolfkraffzick642 Right. He just guessed correctly. He could never know the impact of the decision to either enter the war or not. He was just a creepy guy, no more.
This channel is criminally inaccurate in many of it's historical claims and partials. This may be due to half ass research or deeply opinionated personal beliefs and stereotypes..by all means I would like for this channel to succeed..just without creating misleading/ill-informed videos
5:15 I'm sorry but that is THE spitting image of what i would imagine the literal devil taking human form. His stare is even more terrifying than Kenneth Copelands face and grin.
They both look completely deranged. They are both sect leaders and grifters. Rasputin was more ambitious and successful though. Think Charles Manson being a close advisor to the president and all his family.
A book called “the fetch” has an amazing twist on this story and Rasputin was an even worse villain in the afterlife but he was actually able to love because he loved Alexandria’s son and did everything he could to help him. The book is soooooooo good.
Great storytelling my man. The way you approach things from a very rational and historical perspective without bias, with a maximum of transparency and details and no need for showing off really makes your channel stand apart. Definitely Subscribed. Cheers
“Father we believe Rasputin to be under the control of Satan!!! What do we do?!?!” Bishop: *proceeds to unironically beat him with a literal cross* Man 1910 times were *sCaRy*
The fascinating thing about rasputin is that the myths were so prevalent and propagated, they actually became a part of the person himself. I read a real good biography on him and it turns out alot of the stuff may not even be true. If anyone's interested reply to this and I'll check who wrote it so you guys can look it up!
You guys are brilliant. Informative, entertaining, compelling and concise. Found your war graphics channel about a month ago which (sorry to sound dramatic and wont mention a certain path) made me want to learn more. Almost every topic I wanted to learn based on previous ( should have just said that path) you guys cover on one of your multitude of channels. Keep up your work!!
actually, this video is filled w/lies; i refuse to watch another from this BS channel and would heartily encourage others to not believe anything this liar says
@CrazyStacey1970 dude. 1, what does that have to do with the comment? and 2, of course it's historically inaccurate, it's a children's film. unless they wanted to traumatize children they had to dumb down all the facts.
The funniest fact I know about Rasputin is that some of his grandchildren were still around in 1978, when "Ra-Ra-Rasputin" was released. Can you imagine listening to the radio, and suddenly a new pop song comes on all about how much of a beast your granddad was in bed?
Here is the other video referenced by Simon from our sister channel, TopTenzNet: 10 Facts About the Mad Monk Grigori Rasputin ruclips.net/video/DmkVmEb5TwQ/видео.html
Your narration in this video is very very bias !!!! if you are not into esotherism or and occult or spirituality doesn't mean its a bad thing.,.. i know a friend who drinks, fornicate, gambles.. yet, his visions are very very strong and real.. they are mostly emergencies, and its often %99 accurate. He is not an healer though
@@TsarOfRuss you're actually right while I never had visions I was in the occult for a little bit and I practiced healing but only on myself until I decided I didn't want to do it anymore
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.
I like you’re theory but why `in his own mind’ ? Can you explain ? Because I believe he was one of the mystics who changed the course of a society . Everyone might not agree with Lenin and that’s why the criticism. Okay you’re right😅 I got it 😮

It's ironic that the one time the Czar should have listened to Rasputin and avoided declaring war, is the one time he didn't.
It's "should have," not "should of," nor is it particularly "ironic." I'd say it's more a case of serendipity, Alanis.

I wanna see Joaquin Phoenix play this guy!!!! Come Hollywood get it done
Alan Rickman played him.
He would be perfect
@@richardfalcon8927 so did christopher lee and Tom Baker
Lionel Barrymore gave a really creepy portrayal in a movie about Rasputin.
Im convinced that he ALWAYS had that creepy stare. 1,000 yard stare, 100%. Definitely chilling to see, kinda wild how much fear you could instill in a person with just a look/stare‼️💯
His eyes have always creeped me out. I couldn't look at his face for a longer period of time on the photos.
"But the power of Christ did not compel him"
Edward Lewis are you sure? How would you know that? Maybe they edited that chapter, so they could write about the talking donkey! I mean a talking donkey is much more believable than Rasputin!
@@cascorick8253 except Rasputin actually existed.
Feral Cyborg Gaming that is sarcasm! People who believe in talking donkeys will believe in anything! There's no limit on what religious people will tell you they believe in, in order to verify their invisible friend!
But the power of Christ did not compel himself
He was also dead
casco rick Why do people like you feel so obligated to insult the religious? It does not reflect well on irreligious people, and certainly simply insulting God is not going to lead anyone away from him. There is actually pretty serious evidence for the existence of a God and Jesus Christ on a philosophical and scientific level, and opinions are not often just formulated because people tell others to believe such things, you do know.
"Iliodor fled to Finland, dressed as a woman, so that noone would be able to tell where he was going."
Well, seeing how we know this today, I'm sure it went well for him.
All that makeup for nothing
What? Ooooooh I get it now
He said that illiador confessed to the first assassination attempt in a autobiography so my guess is no one knew until he wrote it in his autobiography
Let me be clear this is a not so educated guess so talk it with a mountain of salt
Illiodor eventually made his way to America eventually where he was relatively safe. He admitted his claims against Rasputin were exaggerated 💁🏼. Rasputin’s daughter moved to Hollywood and became a lion tamer. Fair dinkum
In the book of Acts you find a girl with a familiar spirit who could predict the future. She had a demon and when it was cast out she lost her power
I'd love to visit these times in history and watch events unfold.

@@alex360c lol
careful what you wish for, they say....
Rasputin: "Don't go to war"
Nicolas II: "F*ck you, I'm popular now"
Whatever one can say against Rasputin: He was a healer and realizing his advice to keep Russia out of the war would have saved millons of lives and the tsars family.
And no communist revolution, no Stalin.
Thats much more important than Rasputins lifestyle which resembles very much that of a modern popstar.
@@rudolfkraffzick642 so true. The war wouldn't have dragged Russia into an economic stagnation and led to the revolution. Rasputin was right about if he was killed by the nobility the tsar wouldn't live past 2 years after
@@rudolfkraffzick642 Right. He just guessed correctly. He could never know the impact of the decision to either enter the war or not. He was just a creepy guy, no more.
“History is a set of lies agreed upon” Simon says, nice story telling here.
this entire video is comprised of lies & misinformation
His eyes are so unsettling...it really creeps me out. Thanks for the video. This was a great one
This channel is criminally undersubbed
Agreed
i subbed because of your observation
This channel is criminally inaccurate in many of it's historical claims and partials.
This may be due to half ass research or deeply opinionated personal beliefs and stereotypes..by all means I would like for this channel to succeed..just without creating misleading/ill-informed videos
I subbed also, I am guilty of overlooking this aspect of youtube. This was a great video.
Surprised there is not netflix series about Rasputin yet

5:15 I'm sorry but that is THE spitting image of what i would imagine the literal devil taking human form.
His stare is even more terrifying than Kenneth Copelands face and grin.
I find Kenneth Copeland to be more nightmare inducing. That stare is unnerving, but the grin of the evangalists are much more terrifying
And that my friend, is saying a great deal.
They both look completely deranged. They are both sect leaders and grifters. Rasputin was more ambitious and successful though. Think Charles Manson being a close advisor to the president and all his family.
Lmao fucking Kenneth Copeland lmaoooo
@Russell Weber I wouldn't compare ben shapiro to someone like copeland, i dont even understand how you can draw that comparison at all
A book called “the fetch” has an amazing twist on this story and Rasputin was an even worse villain in the afterlife but he was actually able to love because he loved Alexandria’s son and did everything he could to help him. The book is soooooooo good.
Great storytelling my man. The way you approach things from a very rational and historical perspective without bias, with a maximum of transparency and details and no need for showing off really makes your channel stand apart. Definitely Subscribed.
Cheers

The fascinating thing about rasputin is that the myths were so prevalent and propagated, they actually became a part of the person himself. I read a real good biography on him and it turns out alot of the stuff may not even be true. If anyone's interested reply to this and I'll check who wrote it so you guys can look it up!

You guys are brilliant. Informative, entertaining, compelling and concise. Found your war graphics channel about a month ago which (sorry to sound dramatic and wont mention a certain path) made me want to learn more. Almost every topic I wanted to learn based on previous ( should have just said that path) you guys cover on one of your multitude of channels. Keep up your work!!
actually, this video is filled w/lies; i refuse to watch another from this BS channel and would heartily encourage others to not believe anything this liar says

@CrazyStacey1970 the anastasia film was not made by disney my dude
@CrazyStacey1970 dude. 1, what does that have to do with the comment? and 2, of course it's historically inaccurate, it's a children's film. unless they wanted to traumatize children they had to dumb down all the facts.
I don't think I've ever heard the word "penis" so many times in something I would consider educational.
Rasputin’s finesse game was next level 😭
The funniest fact I know about Rasputin is that some of his grandchildren were still around in 1978, when "Ra-Ra-Rasputin" was released.
Can you imagine listening to the radio, and suddenly a new pop song comes on all about how much of a beast your granddad was in bed?

Your narration in this video is very very bias !!!! if you are not into esotherism or and occult or spirituality doesn't mean its a bad thing.,.. i know a friend who drinks, fornicate, gambles.. yet, his visions are very very strong and real.. they are mostly emergencies, and its often %99 accurate. He is not an healer though
Can you do a Biography on Franz Joseph I of Austria who led Austria-Hungary into world war I?
You should read your own sources, no poison was found in his body, no water in lungs and was not mutilated.
Saw that one too! But i have to say I like this video more ☺️
@@TsarOfRuss you're actually right while I never had visions I was in the occult for a little bit and I practiced healing but only on myself until I decided I didn't want to do it anymore
By far the most bizarre biography I have ever heard 😂
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.

In his own mind
I like you’re theory but why `in his own mind’ ? Can you explain ? Because I believe he was one of the mystics who changed the course of a society . Everyone might not agree with Lenin and that’s why the criticism. Okay you’re right😅 I got it 😮
