Rasputin 'The deviL N'carnate'?? (Highly Quest'ion-able) This man was given the great responsibility 2 try 2 seek health 4 a Countress' son who was deathly ill:( @ that time N his-tory people were commonly taking Aspirin 4 EVERYTSING. *However, it was acknowledged & realized that IF Rasputin had given Aspirin, this would have KILLED this woman's son. Gregori was will N'formed & led by successful healing forces: however his superego convinced him that his services N'titled him 2 more than a sincere 'TY'. So the devil showed up N Rasputin when he gave place N'stead of fighting the good fight of faith. Now days, people (Simon Cowell took his best friend's wife) {Song 4 The Occasion from Motley Crue singing '..my dad with my best friend's wife..'} R following the same backstabbing vulture path with the N'tertainment N'dustry agg'ing this B'havior on soap operas ALWAYS:( If Rasputin was the deviL N'carnate: then the woods R full of such varments
I know that the other option is farfetched as well but the aspirin idea seems like a bit of a straw-clutch from people who loath having to say, "yeah we're not really too sure about that one". Especially as the kid remained well after that.
It shocks me that his glare can be that unnerving in a century old photo. Those cameras weren’t exactly known for their level of detail. It makes me shudder.
Nadiri Myers he was extremely extremely manipulative and charming even with that a huge amount of Russians hated him and most of the Russian tzars nobility absolutely hated him because they saw exactly what he was but the tzar himself and his wife had all the power and they are the ones who fell for his scams
If this man does not have offsprings then it can only mean one thing. Joseph Stalins purges where ment to specificly kill people ho where in some way related to rasputin
You know, if the tsar listened to Rasputin and stayed out of the great war, there would have never been a Soviet Union. He was crazy, but he wasn't wrong about the infinite misery the great war brought upon Russia
The fact that he was stabbed repeatedly and had his intestinals torn out, didn't die, ate an entire banquet laced with poison, didn't die, was shot, didn't die, and appeared to have survived drowning before being burned tells you all you need to know about where Rasputin got his powers from.
Imagine Charles Manson being an influential advisor to the president of the United States and his entire family. That's pretty much the life story of Rasputin.
They were doing well, but I was so disappointed that he wasn't the main villain. Man at least deserves the spot light as the main villain if not a main character in his own movie.
There were other times: Rasputin used to try to use his influence with the Tzar to stop the numerous violent pogroms being committed against the Jews in Russia: it made him enemies in the court of the Tzar. I think Rasputin is one of the most difficult historical personalities to come to any definite conclusions about: whether he was a good or evil man, or both, some have said he was demonized and slandered intentionally by his enemies but I don't know. I plan on reading the biography of him that was written by his own daughter. He stank though, you can take that to the bank.

You should check why all Hollywood movies have the disclaimer "this is a fictional work, any resemblance to actual persons events is purely coincidental, etc..." You'll also understand why there is no more Rasputin movies.
But when his lusting and hunger for power became apparent to more and more people, the demands to do something about this outrageous man became louder and louder.
I learned about Rasputin from a teacher in elementary school. She had done one of those cute things on the first day of school where they start a conversation by doing something with a little fact from each student. She found a famous person for each of our birthdays, and told kids who shared birthdays that they did...and she couldn't really find anyone who shared mine. The best she could do was "They THINK Rasputin was born on your birthday." Fourth grade me: "...who?" Did a lot to help my weirdo kid status, obviously. Thanks Mrs Brown.
If he survives disembowelment then off with his head, i am not leaving until he has a crusifix dug into his chest, a bullet into the heart and a head missing
My late husband was the son of a Karelian refugee. He drank a lot of vodka, chased women, prayed a lot, talked to dead people and had a beard you could hide a goat in and the most intense blue eyes I have seen outside of Game of Thrones. My grandmother compared him to Rasputin, and he considered it a great compliment!
Rasputin was an Orthodox Christian Holy man, who was demonised by the communist leaders and their Puppet masters who also controlled the media, via FακεΝεως. Much like the USA today.

Great storytelling my man. The way you approach things from a very rational and historical perspective without bias, with a maximum of transparency and details and no need for showing off really makes your channel stand apart. Definitely Subscribed. Cheers
The funniest fact I know about Rasputin is that some of his grandchildren were still around in 1978, when "Ra-Ra-Rasputin" was released. Can you imagine listening to the radio, and suddenly a new pop song comes on all about how much of a beast your granddad was in bed?
"Iliodor fled to Finland, dressed as a woman, so that noone would be able to tell where he was going." Well, seeing how we know this today, I'm sure it went well for him.
He said that illiador confessed to the first assassination attempt in a autobiography so my guess is no one knew until he wrote it in his autobiography Let me be clear this is a not so educated guess so talk it with a mountain of salt
Illiodor eventually made his way to America eventually where he was relatively safe. He admitted his claims against Rasputin were exaggerated 💁🏼. Rasputin’s daughter moved to Hollywood and became a lion tamer. Fair dinkum
5:15 I'm sorry but that is THE spitting image of what i would imagine the literal devil taking human form. His stare is even more terrifying than Kenneth Copelands face and grin.
They both look completely deranged. They are both sect leaders and grifters. Rasputin was more ambitious and successful though. Think Charles Manson being a close advisor to the president and all his family.
Edward Lewis are you sure? How would you know that? Maybe they edited that chapter, so they could write about the talking donkey! I mean a talking donkey is much more believable than Rasputin!
Feral Cyborg Gaming that is sarcasm! People who believe in talking donkeys will believe in anything! There's no limit on what religious people will tell you they believe in, in order to verify their invisible friend!
casco rick Why do people like you feel so obligated to insult the religious? It does not reflect well on irreligious people, and certainly simply insulting God is not going to lead anyone away from him. There is actually pretty serious evidence for the existence of a God and Jesus Christ on a philosophical and scientific level, and opinions are not often just formulated because people tell others to believe such things, you do know.
A book called “the fetch” has an amazing twist on this story and Rasputin was an even worse villain in the afterlife but he was actually able to love because he loved Alexandria’s son and did everything he could to help him. The book is soooooooo good.
He has the creepiest stare ever. Good grief I can’t imagine how intense it must have been to be standing right in from of them. Also when he said he would pick his nose and eat it, I was eating at the same time. Just pushed my plate away🤢
Im convinced that he ALWAYS had that creepy stare. 1,000 yard stare, 100%. Definitely chilling to see, kinda wild how much fear you could instill in a person with just a look/stare‼️💯
@CrazyStacey1970 dude. 1, what does that have to do with the comment? and 2, of course it's historically inaccurate, it's a children's film. unless they wanted to traumatize children they had to dumb down all the facts.

“Father we believe Rasputin to be under the control of Satan!!! What do we do?!?!” Bishop: *proceeds to unironically beat him with a literal cross* Man 1910 times were *sCaRy*
The fascinating thing about rasputin is that the myths were so prevalent and propagated, they actually became a part of the person himself. I read a real good biography on him and it turns out alot of the stuff may not even be true. If anyone's interested reply to this and I'll check who wrote it so you guys can look it up!
I like you’re theory but why `in his own mind’ ? Can you explain ? Because I believe he was one of the mystics who changed the course of a society . Everyone might not agree with Lenin and that’s why the criticism. Okay you’re right😅 I got it 😮

It's ironic that the one time the Czar should have listened to Rasputin and avoided declaring war, is the one time he didn't.
It's "should have," not "should of," nor is it particularly "ironic." I'd say it's more a case of serendipity, Alanis.

The funniest fact I know about Rasputin is that some of his grandchildren were still around in 1978, when "Ra-Ra-Rasputin" was released.
Can you imagine listening to the radio, and suddenly a new pop song comes on all about how much of a beast your granddad was in bed?
"Iliodor fled to Finland, dressed as a woman, so that noone would be able to tell where he was going."
Well, seeing how we know this today, I'm sure it went well for him.
All that makeup for nothing
What? Ooooooh I get it now
He said that illiador confessed to the first assassination attempt in a autobiography so my guess is no one knew until he wrote it in his autobiography
Let me be clear this is a not so educated guess so talk it with a mountain of salt
Illiodor eventually made his way to America eventually where he was relatively safe. He admitted his claims against Rasputin were exaggerated 💁🏼. Rasputin’s daughter moved to Hollywood and became a lion tamer. Fair dinkum
5:15 I'm sorry but that is THE spitting image of what i would imagine the literal devil taking human form.
His stare is even more terrifying than Kenneth Copelands face and grin.
I find Kenneth Copeland to be more nightmare inducing. That stare is unnerving, but the grin of the evangalists are much more terrifying
And that my friend, is saying a great deal.
They both look completely deranged. They are both sect leaders and grifters. Rasputin was more ambitious and successful though. Think Charles Manson being a close advisor to the president and all his family.
Lmao fucking Kenneth Copeland lmaoooo
@Russell Weber I wouldn't compare ben shapiro to someone like copeland, i dont even understand how you can draw that comparison at all
"But the power of Christ did not compel him"
Edward Lewis are you sure? How would you know that? Maybe they edited that chapter, so they could write about the talking donkey! I mean a talking donkey is much more believable than Rasputin!
@@cascorick8253 except Rasputin actually existed.
Feral Cyborg Gaming that is sarcasm! People who believe in talking donkeys will believe in anything! There's no limit on what religious people will tell you they believe in, in order to verify their invisible friend!
But the power of Christ did not compel himself
He was also dead
casco rick Why do people like you feel so obligated to insult the religious? It does not reflect well on irreligious people, and certainly simply insulting God is not going to lead anyone away from him. There is actually pretty serious evidence for the existence of a God and Jesus Christ on a philosophical and scientific level, and opinions are not often just formulated because people tell others to believe such things, you do know.
The Olga Lokhtina story had me in rapturous laughter, thank you this has enriched my day!
A book called “the fetch” has an amazing twist on this story and Rasputin was an even worse villain in the afterlife but he was actually able to love because he loved Alexandria’s son and did everything he could to help him. The book is soooooooo good.
I'd love to visit these times in history and watch events unfold.

I wanna see Joaquin Phoenix play this guy!!!! Come Hollywood get it done
Alan Rickman played him.
He would be perfect
@@richardfalcon8927 so did christopher lee and Tom Baker
Lionel Barrymore gave a really creepy portrayal in a movie about Rasputin.

Oh no, slipping into another UA-cam rabbit hole, I feel a video binge coming on 😀. Great videos, love your commentating n content
Good to know :D
I sense an HBO, Netflix, or HULU show based on this in the future.
the czars!
Please be HBO.
Same.
He has the creepiest stare ever. Good grief I can’t imagine how intense it must have been to be standing right in from of them. Also when he said he would pick his nose and eat it, I was eating at the same time. Just pushed my plate away🤢
“ The *Crow* sisters took Rasputin under their *wing* “… I see what you did there.
His rap battle with Stalin was “epic”
😂

In the book of Acts you find a girl with a familiar spirit who could predict the future. She had a demon and when it was cast out she lost her power
You should’ve played “Ra Ra Rasputin” In the background.
Haha
Bro I love that song
Who doesn't love the song? Catchy as hell.

I could hear Simon's narration forever! Thanks for this channel!
he also apparently did some audiobook recordings if you wanted to find one of those

🎵 In the dark of the night I was tossing a turning 🎵
Im convinced that he ALWAYS had that creepy stare. 1,000 yard stare, 100%. Definitely chilling to see, kinda wild how much fear you could instill in a person with just a look/stare‼️💯
6:02 - so the crow sisters "took him under their wings". Was this an intentional pun?
@CrazyStacey1970 the anastasia film was not made by disney my dude
@CrazyStacey1970 dude. 1, what does that have to do with the comment? and 2, of course it's historically inaccurate, it's a children's film. unless they wanted to traumatize children they had to dumb down all the facts.
This channel is criminally undersubbed
Agreed
i subbed because of your observation
This channel is criminally inaccurate in many of it's historical claims and partials.
This may be due to half ass research or deeply opinionated personal beliefs and stereotypes..by all means I would like for this channel to succeed..just without creating misleading/ill-informed videos
I subbed also, I am guilty of overlooking this aspect of youtube. This was a great video.
Nobody:
Rasputin: Ò_Ó
Lol ikr
I would like but its 69 :/
Why
ÒwÓ
You guys are brilliant. Informative, entertaining, compelling and concise. Found your war graphics channel about a month ago which (sorry to sound dramatic and wont mention a certain path) made me want to learn more. Almost every topic I wanted to learn based on previous ( should have just said that path) you guys cover on one of your multitude of channels. Keep up your work!!
actually, this video is filled w/lies; i refuse to watch another from this BS channel and would heartily encourage others to not believe anything this liar says

What is the relation of that quote to this video? Are you implying that everything in this video is just a fabrication with no basis in reality?
@@halseyfalls2854 Rasputin = "History" (whic is an Illusion by the defenition of real Truth), and the Quote says it all.....by the man himself...
History is “his story” ie the victor

The fascinating thing about rasputin is that the myths were so prevalent and propagated, they actually became a part of the person himself. I read a real good biography on him and it turns out alot of the stuff may not even be true. If anyone's interested reply to this and I'll check who wrote it so you guys can look it up!

Thanks dude
@@matthours1783 Very similar song, but its not the same thing.
You're an angel
George Michaels thanks it sounds most sinister.
FUN FACT: He even whispered to Yusupov saying: "You bad boy!"
He’s not a villain, he’s a misunderstood hero
In his own mind
I like you’re theory but why `in his own mind’ ? Can you explain ? Because I believe he was one of the mystics who changed the course of a society . Everyone might not agree with Lenin and that’s why the criticism. Okay you’re right😅 I got it 😮
Are you Russian ?
I don't think I've ever heard the word "penis" so many times in something I would consider educational.
its really crazy how all these historical figures have very interesting lives, and they connect, lead up to and sometimes determine others.
Many among these well-bred societal luminaries share their hemophilia genes with one another. Perfectly normal.
@@colonelmustard2652 well-bred? That literally isn't possible espiecially when you consider the fact that incest occured many Times in history way before my and your great great great grandfather in his sperm and egg form, no one is perfect and some are less or more imperfect than others and it's the imperfections that makes us who we are.

So true, the dude looks horrifying and the video showing him out of nowhere doesn’t help. Btw jobros!
