TOPIC SYNOPSIS

Grigori Rasputin was born on January 22, 1869, in Pokrovskoye, Siberia, Russian Empire.
-
Rasputin was a Siberian peasant turned mystic, who dabbled with the occult, drank excessively and F*CKED excessively. He was in essence, a historical f*ck boy.
-
In fact, Rasputin stands for “the debauched one” in Russian – he was called this due to his lewd behaviour and sexual prowess.
-
In addition to being a rampant womanizer, Rasputin has been referred to as “the man that could not die”, “the antichrist”, the “devil’s incarnate”.
-
There were claims that Rasputin had risen from the dead and that he was impossible to kill. He also had a crazy death stare thing he would do that was weird.
-
Rasputin is most notably known for improving the condition of Aleksey Nikolayevich, the hemophiliac heir to the Russian throne using his “mysticism”. This made Rasputin a favourite of Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra – gaining Rasputin massive political influence.
-
Herein, we outline the rise of Rasputin, his historical significance in the Russian Empire, and discuss his oddities, his most notable tales, and his assassination in depth.
-
