  • Grigori Rasputin was a Russian peasant who claimed to have mystic healing powers, and he even went so far as to say he was the second coming of Christ. He formed his own cult, and even manipulated the members of the royal Romanov family into believing he truly was a holy man.

      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

      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.

    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?

    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.

      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.
