Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin is believed to have born around 1869 to a Siberian peasant family. 

·It is believed that due to his limited education, Rasputin never learned to read or write until adulthood. 

·As he grew up, some in his village began to claim that he was in possession of “supernatural powers,” though others observed “examples of extreme cruelty,” according to Biography.com. 

·Rasputin hoped to become a monk, entering the Verkhoture Monastery in Russia, though soon leaving and marrying Proskovia Fyodorovna at age 19. 

·After having three children (two of whom died shortly after birth), Rasputin left his family to travel to Greece and the Middle East, “making several pilgrimages to the Holy Land,” according to Biography.com. 

·Rasputin arrived in St. Petersburg in 1903, with “a reputation as a mystic and faith healer,” according to Biography.com. 

·Around 1905, Rasputin was first sought out by Czar Nicholas II and his wife in order to heal their son, Alexis. The family believed Rasputin was responsible for healing Alexis, and soon won the favor of Alexandra. 

·Rasputin’s association with the imperial family over the years between 1906-1914 gave fodder to political critics, who used the relationship to “undermine the dynasty’s credibility and push for reform,” according to Biography.com. 

·According to Biography.com: “Rasputin helped their efforts by claiming to be the Czarina’s advisor, and accounts of his rampant lascivious behavior emerged in the press, compounding contempt among state officials. In truth, however, Rasputin's influence at this time was limited to the health of Alexis.” 

·Rasputin predicted the World War I would prove to be a disaster for Russia. Alexandra, who was charged with domestic policy in 1915, defended Rasputin, further implying the magnitude of his influence. 

·According to Biography.com: “On the night of December 29, 1916, a group of conspirators, including the czar's first cousin, Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, and Prince Felix Yusupov, invited Rasputin to Yusupov's palace and fed him wine and cakes laced with cyanide. Though Rasputin eventually became rather drunk, the poison seemed to have no effect. Baffled but not deterred, the conspirators finally shot Rasputin multiple times. He was then wrapped in a carpet and thrown into the Neva River, where it was discovered three days later.” 

·Before his death, Rasputin had written a letter to Czar Nicholas, predicting that if he were killed it would lead in turn to the death of the entire imperial family at the hands of the Russian people. This prediction came true in July 1918 when the Bolsheviks executed the family.
