There have been traitors since ancient times, but they can manipulate the entire dynasty at will with their own strength, and eventually bring about the collapse of the dynasty is rare, and in the history of Tsarist Russia, there is such a person, the demon monk Rasputin, who has done all kinds of bad things in his life, and can even be called a legendary life full of scandals.
Rasputin's father, Yefim Welkin, was a gambler in his early years, and after losing his family property, he decided to reform himself and moved with his family to the village of Pokrovskoye in the Tyumen region of Siberia, and changed his surname to "Novich", which means "newcomer" in Russian. Later, he was lucky enough to become a kulak, but the death of his wife, eldest son and only daughter not long ago dealt a serious blow to Yefim, so he lived passively, and the family road also fell.
The only relatives who had the closest relationship with Yefim were Gregory Yefimovich Rasputin, the youngest son who had committed crimes and made him despair. When Rasputin was still young, he was an out-and-out scoundrel, not only flirting with the people's women, but also doing the work of horse thieves, so he had to be jokingly called "Rasputin" by the villagers, which can be understood as "lascivious and debauchery". The villagers reported it to his father several times, but Yefim was always immersed in grief and was not willing to take care of this unformed son, and over time, the villagers avoided him, and rasputin's quality of life became worse and worse.
When Rasputin's life was mixed into his thirties, he finally found a way to get out of the mix, that is, to put himself in the holy cloak of religion and present himself as an elder and a prophet. Not only that, but he also disguised himself as a master of prophecy and miraculous healing, and by coincidence, he became famous for successfully predicting a March drought somewhere and successfully rescuing the dog of Nicholas II's uncle, Grand Duke Nicholas.
Not only that, after he entered the palace, he did another miracle, which made the Russian nobles believe in his identity as a "holy monk". The emperor in office at that time was Nicholas II, and his son Alexei was suffering from hemophilia, and once he fell ill, it was better to live than to die, but everyone around him was helpless about it, which made Nicholas II and his wife very sad. Alexei fell ill again, and just when everyone was helpless, Rasputin appeared, fed the prince a small packet of powder, then prayed and told stories at his side, and finally ordered the prince to rest for a few days. To everyone's surprise, Alexei had been suffering from illness for a long time, and this treatment actually restored him to health.
Strangely enough, Alexei's illness has since been linked to Rasputin, and once Rasputin leaves the palace for too long, Alexei will relapse of the old disease, which is also an important reason why Rasputin can stay in the palace. Later generations speculated that in fact, Rasputin had superb hypnosis, which alleviated Alexei's condition. What the facts are, nearly a century has passed, and it is impossible to examine.
Since Nicholas II needed Rasputin, he was given the title of "Tsarist Lamp Bearer" and given him the right to enter and leave the inner palace freely. Since then, Rasputin has never hidden his desires, and has been in power for a long time to have relations with aristocratic girls who believe in him. He also had a perverted habit of collecting virgin hair, and after the Leningrad municipal government demolished his mansion in 1977, he found boxes of hair.
From the above, it can be seen that Rasputin is just a "bastard" who cheats and drinks, where he will be interested in politics, so what he does in the Russian palace is basically to eliminate all ministers who affect his pleasure. At that time, there were many loyal ministers who advised Nicholas II to remove Rasputin from his duties and remove the tumor as soon as possible, but the end was nothing more than being removed from his official position or dying in a foreign land.
During the First World War, the Russian army repeatedly suffered defeat, but Nicholas II was full of confidence, because he believed in mysticism, and with "holy monks" like Rasputin around him, the victory would be in his own pocket. Since Nicholas II had asked for something, Rasputin naturally responded, saying that God dreamed of him that as long as Tsarist Russia could continue to march and not retreat, it would be able to win the final victory. As a result, it is conceivable that the Russian army under his command, like a scattered sand, was gradually defeated under the fierce offensive of the German army.
It was precisely because of such a ridiculous thing that more Russians saw rasputin's incompetent nature under the mask of hypocrisy, so Prince Yusupov and Romanov, a member of the royal family, and others jointly planned the assassination of Rasputin. Prince Yusupov knew that Rasputin had been beating his wife Irina's attention, and this time he made a plan to let Irina use as bait. In front of the beautiful woman, Rasputin would not be defensive, and immediately won the beauty plan, eating the poisonous dessert prepared in advance by the nobles. However, he did not die of poison, only lay down for a while before he woke up again, he realized the plan, spread his legs and fled immediately.
How could the nobles let him escape, let him escape mean to hit the grass and snake, he went to Nicholas II's broken mouth, the death may be himself, so the nobles who reacted immediately immediately shot Rasputin. Should it be said that Rasputin is the reincarnation of Xiao Qiang, after being shot several times, he can resist, out of fear, Yusupov finally slammed his temple with a dumbbell, causing him to fall unconscious, and then throwing him into the Neva River.
The gunshots had already exposed their actions, and the next day the royal family sent someone to salvage Rasputin's body from the Neva River, and after a forensic autopsy, it was determined that Rasputin did not actually die of the shooting, but drowned in the river because his lungs were filled with river water. In fact, it was not only the prince and nobles who wanted to kill Rasputin, there had been two times before that, the first time was when Father Iliodore cut his neck with a knife, but he escaped, and the second time was the woman Gusheva who took revenge on Rasputin and stabbed him in the stomach with a sharp knife in her hometown, and when the knife was pulled out, even the intestines were pulled out, but even this did not succeed in killing Rasputin.
It is better to say that Rasputin is a "holy monk" than a "demon monk", and he does have terrifying superhuman abilities in trying to survive in the world.
