Gregory Yefimovich Rasputin was a legendary figure who, after his death, even special parts were displayed in museums. He transformed from a swindlering folk god stick into a priest of the Russian Empire, not only being honored as a guest of honor by the queen, but also confusing all the noble maidens in the royal family, manipulating the success or failure of the kingdom, and even the highly toxic potassium cyanide and bullets could not kill him. Is he really possessing mysterious powers, or is he just a false priest with a false name? Let's step into today's story: the Russian tsarist Rasputin.
Rasputin
Before the age of 32, Rasputin was just a small hooligan in a remote mountain village in Siberia, and his daily life was to fight, steal chickens and dogs, and seduce women. His behavior seriously affected the normal life of the villagers, which can be described as annoying to everyone and the dog, but Rasputin has not changed at all, and the daily chaotic life is still unremarkable, which has caused the villagers to complain, and the local government and the church really can't see it anymore, so they drove him out of the village together. Driven out, Rasputin was left to wander, living off theft and begging, where he met mysterious monks who had changed his life.

Three years later, Rasputin put on his robe and declared himself a monk with special functions. In order to show his special ability, he fed his blended potion to an old man with leprosy, and miraculously, after drinking the potion, the symptoms of the old man gradually improved until he recovered. Immediately after, Rasputin said that next year will be a famine year, and everyone should make preparations early. People were skeptical about this, and the harvest of the crops the next year was really bad, which made Rasputin suddenly catch fire, and people thought that he really had special abilities. At the same time, the Black Hundred discovered Rasputin's miraculous abilities and took him to the royal palace in St. Petersburg.
At that time, Tsarist Russia was in the period of Nicholas II. Nicholas II and his queen were strange, they did not believe in the royal family, they did not believe in the nobility, they did not believe in the people, they only believed in God, so they sent people around to find a spokesman for God. The Black Hundred are a group of people sent to find God. An important reason why Nikolai and the queen were obsessed with finding God was that their only son, Alexei, suffered from hemophilia. That is, once the body is injured and bleeding, it will be difficult to heal on its own, and when it is severe, it will lose blood and die, which was a very fatal disease at that time. As you can imagine, the only crown prince of the Tsar, suffered from an incurable disease that would even die at any time, and the king and queen, as his parents, would naturally do their best to find a way to cure him, but no doctor could treat this disease.

In desperation, the queen had to resort to mysterious forces, and rasputin appeared. Rasputin saw the crown prince, said a few words to him, fed him some kind of medicine, and then recited words in his mouth, as if he were praying. Immediately after, he told the prince a few more stories, at this time, strange things happened, the prince's physical state gradually improved, and after a few days, he even became like a normal person. What is even more bizarre is that from then on, as long as Rasputin is not with the prince, or away from the palace, the prince will gradually lose weight and relapse. When Rasputin returns to the palace, the crown prince will become lively and healthy. This made Nikolai and the queen, who had always been obsessed with God, convinced that Rasputin was the one sent by God to save them, not only giving him the title of money, but also allowing him to enter and leave the palace at will, and asking for his opinion in everything.

In this way, Rasputin's status rose for a time, not only highly respected but also had supreme power, which made the already unruly him even more arrogant. Folklore says that in addition to his ambiguity with the queen, he seduced all the noble maidens, because in addition to possessing mysterious powers, he also used hypnosis.
When his pale blue eyes stare at people deadly, they will glow blue light, and people will be hypnotized, and this hypnosis is especially effective for women. Therefore, there were many rumors in the palace about Rasputin and the queen, and the noble maidens, which angered Nicholas II, who expelled Rasputin from the palace.
As a result, just a few days after Rasputin was expelled, the crown prince suddenly had a nosebleed and became very weak, and the queen had to turn to Rasputin for help and let him enter the palace quickly. In order to retaliate against Nicholas II, Rasputin deliberately went to the palace two days late, but he did not expect that the prince's condition would deteriorate, and his physical condition was not optimistic. But as soon as Rasputin appeared, the crown prince miraculously got better, which made Nicholas II completely convinced him, believing that Rasputin was indeed a messenger sent by God, and gave him three points in everything.

Shortly thereafter, with the outbreak of the First World War and the conquest of Nicholas II, the power of the state fell into the hands of the queen, but in fact it was in the hands of Rasputin. At this time, Rasputin completely let go of his hands and feet, not only cholera harem but also intervened in Russia's internal affairs, various ministers were replaced by him in turn, and what was even more strange was that he let an old man who was almost eighty years old to be the chairman of the Council of Ministers, the reason was only that the potatoes made by the old man's wife were particularly delicious, and here everyone can see again how absurd and unreliable he is.
Rasputin made the whole of Tsarist Russia jump, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the royal family, but no one dared to confront him at that time, because we mentioned earlier that Rasputin also had the ability to predict the future, he had accurately predicted that the crystal lamp in the palace would fall, and the prince would have a serious illness when he was 13 years old, but he would not die. Therefore, the Tsar, who was fighting on the front line at that time, that is, Nicholas II, would ask Rasputin about both the operational policy and the military movement. It can be said that Rasputin held the power of the entire empire, and it was precisely in this way that a war that Nicholas II could have won a great victory was shouted down by Rasputin because he had an ominous dream. At this time, he completely angered the royal family and nobles, and everyone was discussing how to get rid of him.
Rasputin was aware that the current situation was not in his favor, but he was still fearless and did not restrain himself, as if he really had mysterious powers. What happened next put Rasputin in complete danger. He fell in love with the newly married wife of Prince Yusupov and plotted against him, but Yusupov discovered him. Yusupov warned Rasputin not to play a crooked idea, but Rasputin, instead of relenting, put pressure on Yusupov through the queen's hand. This completely annoyed Yusupov, who joined forces with other ministers to set up a beauty plan for Rasputin, using his new wife Irina as bait.

That night, Irina dressed up and invited Rasputin to dinner, during which Rasputin ate three cakes mixed with potassium cyanide and drank a bottle of wine containing potassium cyanide, but she was unharmed, did not react, and even committed misconduct to Irina. At this time, Yusupov rushed out from behind the scenes and fired a shot at Rasputin, piercing the lobe of his lungs. The crowd thought he was dead and was about to go forward to dispose of the body, but Rasputin suddenly woke up and quickly fled outside the house. Immediately, the crowd opened fire on Rasputin, 3 of whom hit him, the last of which hit him in the head.
But what is very strange is that when the crowd dragged him into the house, Rasputin woke up again, and everyone was afraid for a while. Is there really a divine protective body? When everyone hesitated, Yusupov slammed Rasputin's temple with a dumbbell, knocking him unconscious again, and then threw him into an ice hole in the Neva River, finally killing him.
But the strange thing wasn't over, and by the time the autopsy came, the coroner found that he must have lived awake underwater for nearly eight minutes. Because he had accumulated water in his lung cavity, the real cause of death was drowning. If he had been thrown into the water after he died, he would not have had as much water in his lungs. Being shot 4 times, taking a lot of potassium cyanide, dumbbells hitting the temple can also live underwater for 8 minutes, which is indeed not something that normal people can do, especially potassium cyanide, which is highly toxic, for ordinary people, a little powder, do not have to take, as long as the contact with the skin with wounds can cause death. Rasputin's various behaviors show that he is different from ordinary people, so in order to prevent Rasputin from being resurrected again, people cremate his body in public, and a generation of witches and monks is wiped out.
Does Rasputin really possess mysterious powers? It is impossible to verify now, perhaps his body is really different from ordinary people, but it should not be as magical as rumored, and the reason why it has been rumored to be divine is just the epitome of all ignorance and arbitrariness in the last days of the Tsarist Empire.
