Before the fall of the Russian tsarist regime, there was a "demon monk" in Russian history, who was originally a street scoundrel, but he mixed into high society with clever deception. By chance, he became famous for saving the dog of Tsar's uncle, Grand Duke Nicholas, with a medical technique he had learned from nowhere. He later became acquainted with Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, who were trusted by them for their ability to help Crown Prince Alexei briefly treat hemophilia. During Nicholas II's conquest, Russian power fell into Rasputin's hands. Because he made Russia's internal affairs so bad, he was assassinated by the Russian nobility. But to the surprise of the nobles, Rasputin's life was so hard...
Rasputin, whose full name is Gregory Yefimovich Rasputin, was a horse thief when he was young, and because of his low character, he was called "Rasputin" by his fellow villagers, which means "lascivious and debauched". In his 30s, he began to work as a priest, but the main purpose was to facilitate his deception in the guise of religion. In 1905, when the Russian Revolution broke out, Rasputin was taken to St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, because he was recognized by the Russian People's League. He later used his astrology and divination to capture a large number of Russian nobles, and was even more concerned by the royal family for curing the dog of Grand Duke Nicholas.
At that time, the Russian Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra were both deeply believers in mysticism, often entertaining so-called "prophets" and "prophets" and the like. Their son Alexei was in dire health due to hemophilia, and whenever he fell ill, everyone was helpless. But what is strange is that Rasputin just randomly gave Alexei a small packet of powder, and Alexei's body unexpectedly improved after taking it. Of course, the prince's illness did not completely improve, but Rasputin used a special means to temporarily help Alexei restrain the onset of hemophilia. As soon as he left, Alexei's condition immediately deteriorated.
Through this relationship, Rasputin was able to roam the court at will. In addition to gaining some benefits for himself, Rasputin also began to openly interfere in politics. During World War I, Tsar Nicholas II personally conquered and power fell into the hands of the Empress. But because of Rasputin's special relationship with the empress, the regime was actually controlled by Rasputin. During this period, Rasputin made the internal affairs of Tsarist Russia a miasma, and senior officials such as the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs were frequently replaced. And he also used his so-called "prophetic powers" to direct the war on the front lines, leading to the gradual defeat of the Russian army.
The Russian aristocracy could not stand Rasputin's misdeeds and decided to design to kill Rasputin. In 1916, Prince Yusupov used his wife as bait to lure Rasputin to his door, and then assassinated Rasputin with Archduke Dmitry, Priscivich, Lieutenant Suhowkin and a doctor. After Rasputin came to the door, he first ate 8 cakes mixed with potassium cyanide, and then drank a bottle of Madeira wine mixed with potassium cyanide, only to find that Rasputin did not react. To avoid wasting this opportunity, Prince Yusupov fired a shot directly at Rasputin in the heart.
When everyone thought he was dead and began to dispose of his body, Rasputin suddenly woke up, grabbed Yusupov by the throat, and said viciously: "Felix, Felix, tomorrow I will hang you." "It turned out that the shot only pierced the lobe of his lungs, and the bullet hit the heart and remained in the liver. After grabbing Yusupov by the throat, Rasputin broke free of the uniforms of the crowd and ran outside. Pulisikvich caught up with Rasputin and fired three shots from his back, one of which hit Rasputin in the head.
This time Rasputin should be damned, right? Not really. The "demon monk" woke up again in front of everyone. Yusupov slammed him on the head with a barbell before Rasputin passed out. In order to kill him completely, the conspirators threw Rasputin into an ice cave in the Neva River. When Rasputin's body was found the next day, the forensic doctor's autopsy report showed that Rasputin's lungs were full of water. What does this mean? It shows that Yusupov and others did not kill Rasputin for the third time, he was drowned. Otherwise, if a corpse is thrown into the water, the lungs will not enter the water. You can imagine how lucky Yusupov and others were at that time!
