Who is Rasputin? The real story of Rasputin, immoral priest of Russia. You may have heard the name Rasputin on social media. He is a priest, but the narratives about his experiences are quite interesting. Here is the famous Rasputin.
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin was born in 1869 in a village located in the Ural Mountains. His family is very rich and has extensive lands. Rasputin’s life is turned upside down when two of his younger siblings drowned. From now on he always lives in fear of drowning. When Rasputin met a group of preachers traveling around Russia in 1905, he now acquired a religious circle.
This event will change the course of his life. However, the real event that changed his life was that in 1907, the Russian tsar called him to the palace due to his son’s illness. Rasputin, who healed the child with the method of hypnotism, will always be in a close relationship with the palace from now on. However, he is unaware that this situation will negatively affect his life.
Who is Rasputin?
Rasputin is not just a Russian priest. Rasputin was also notorious for his cruelty and ruthlessness. After entering the palace, he begins to interfere in all state affairs. He also puts the Russian army under his command.
When he gains great power, he starts to do whatever he wants. It attracted attention because it was the favorite of the tsarina at the time. He also became famous as the most influential man of the period during the Russian Empire and the tsarist period.
He is also known as a ruthless person. Because after he entered into a close relationship with tsarist Russia, he joined a cult that thought they could reach God by sinning. Rasputin, who wandered around for days without washing or changing his clothes and became unrecognizable, began to be called Russia’s devil.
World War I
Meanwhile, the year was 1914 and World War I had occurred. Rasputin still ruled alongside the tsar and tsarina. He was definitely in favor of joining the war on the side of Germany. At his suggestion, the Tsarina joined the war at the head of the army, but the Tus army was crushed.
The tsar was very angry at this and decided to expel Rasputin from the palace. However, his son’s hemophilia relapsed the moment Rasputin moved away from him, and no one but Rasputin could cure his son. Then he settled back in the palace. Rasputin was known to have been with both the Tsarina and her daughters.
It was even rumored that many other women were with him, considering him a holy person. Among the people he was considered a kind of holy man with mystical powers that healed diseases. Women appealed to him to have their sins forgiven, and Rasputin claimed that he healed them by beating them.
The Trap for Rasputin
Rasputin was considered a priest with superior powers, with his prophecies and ability to perform hypnosis. He also sensed the approaching Russian Revolution. Rasputin, who constantly warned the tsar and tsarina about this issue, also attracted the attention of the tsar’s nephew, Prince Yesupov.
Many of the tsar’s relatives had already begun to grind their teeth at him. Prince Yesupov was also collaborating with the British and did not want Rasputin, who was always with the tsar, in the palace. One evening Rasputin was summoned to an invitation by the tsar. After this invitation, Rasputin’s life took an irreversible path.
Rasputin’s Death
Rasputin, who was invited to a downstairs section during the invitation, was offered drinks and food containing cyanide. Of these, Rasputin, who both ate and drank, was not affected at all. He showed neither dizziness nor any other symptoms. Thereupon, the prince and his companions wounded him with a gun. However, it was as if guns and bullets weren’t working on him either.
Rasputin, who stood up as if nothing had happened after being injured in two different places, surprised everyone. In his amazement, he jumped out of the window and fell into a river.
He was dead after being pulled from the river. But neither from cyanide nor from gunshot wounds. He had suffocated to death, just like his brothers. Before his death, he wrote some things about both how to be killed and by whom.
Rasputin Quotes
Rasputin left a letter before he died. In this letter, he wrote that he would be killed before January 1 and that this death would be done by the Russian nobility.
Just as he said, his date of death was December 30. One of the most important things between Rasputin’s words was the claim that no Russian noble and tsar’s relatives will be left in the near future.
As he said, in 191 the socialists revolutionized Russia and completely abolished the rule of both the tsar and all the nobility. Another interesting point is that Rasputin received the title of “love machine” because he was with all the women in the palace and his genitals are still kept in a museum in Russia.
It can be said that this strange priest, who has a high persuasive power and managed to impress everyone from the moment he spoke, left an important and mystical trace in Russian history.
