No, the Bolsheviks were not followers of Rasputin. The Bolsheviks were a political group led by Vladimir Lenin who sought to overthrow the Russian Provisional Government, while Rasputin was an influential figure in the Russian court and associated with the Romanov dynasty. The Bolsheviks ultimately came to power after the October Revolution in 1917, while Rasputin was assassinated in 1916.

Rasputin was killed by a group of conspirators who believed he had too much influence over the Russian royal family. They lured him to a gathering and then poisoned him with cyanide. However, that failed to kill him, so they shot him multiple times and dumped his body in a river where he ultimately died from drowning.

ra ra rasputin, russias greatest love machine. he is married to a dog.

The word is Negative.

Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra were equally devoted to each other, their marriage was a true love match.

He may or may not have helped the Hemoophiliac Prince. Rasputin was a textbook example of a (dirty old man of the Cloth() and indeed the elder statesmen of the Russian Orthodox church tried to (Blacklist)the Mad Monk, who in fact was booted out of the Mr. Athos Monastic republic in the Greek islands- he had made a pilgrimage and one wonders if he was molesting younger church brothers!- it is a known fact that Rasputin was a (dirty old Man) the name itself- a nickname means ( Dirty Dog) in Russian slang ( there is a name Rasmussen -which is almost a homonym that is a neat Swedish surname!). Rasputin was arrested by Moscow police for indecent exposure in a Restaurant around l9l5, strike one. Grand Duchess Elisabeth ( Stacy"s aunt) intercepted letters from the Czar ( her brother) that well the Czar and Duchess had a correspondence the general angle was the priestly man was anything but holy- and he had leery eyes on the Grand Duchesses!

( not the legal variety!) He was barred from the Palace and All Government buildings ( including the post office? this guy seemed to be the crank-letter type as well. Rasputin may have told funny stories to Alexis to divert his illness-preoccupation, but he was a Bad Man of the Cloth,. a CGB- Clergyman -Gone-Bad, Nothing new under the sun.

Rasputin was a healer, a man of God and an equal rights activist.For nearly a century, Grigory Rasputin, spiritual advisor to Russia's last Tsar and Tsarina, has been unjustly maligned simply because history is written by the politically powerful and not by the common man. A new book, "Rasputin and The Jews", shows that Rasputin was discredited by a fanatically anti-Semitic Russian society, for advocating equal rights for the severely oppressed Jewish population, as well as for promoting peace in a pro-war era.

Testimony by his friends and enemies, from all social strata, provides a picture of a spiritual man who hated bigotry, inequity and violence. He never harmed nor killed a soul. He forgave all those who tried to assassinate him and didn't respond to rumours and criticism because he felt it wasn't Christ-like.

His full name was Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin.

The infamous Mad Monk a CGB =-Clergyman gone Bad. He is mystically operating out of the Other Place and at times appears almost like a Frankenstein-type mad scientist zealously out to kill Anastasia, though she never did anything to him! Baaad men, Clergymen that go bad- and very close to home ( Priestly child-abuse scandals) one is reminded of a sick joke about a church carnival- All Molested children lend a hand!

care taker of Prince Alexi

He was shot in the back of his head by a group of aristocrats led by members of the royal family, the Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich and Prince Felix Yusupov. There are many legends about his death, but the most accepted story seems to be the following:

Rasputin was invited to Yusupov's palace, where he ate and drank food and wine laced with cyanide. He was unaffected by the poison, so Yusupov shot him. Rasputin survived this gunshot, and attacked Yusupov, so the other nobles shot him in the back three times. Rasputin still was not dead at this point, so he was clubbed by the nobles, wrapped into a sheet with his hands and feet tied and thrown into the icy Neva River. The autopsy revealed that he died from drowning but escaped the sheet and bonds.

No. Alexandra was in love with her husband. She saw Rasputin as being a holy man sent to her by God. Her son was sick and she needed him to heal the Heir. Rasputin's place in the Imperial Family's life was misunderstood because the Family told no one that the Heir was ill. This in turn was used by revolutionaries to discredit the Imperial Family.

Rasputin did not cure anything. He was with the Russian Royal family to help the heir Alexi with his hemophilia, but he did not actually cure it. What he did was to help Alexi become calm which helped decreese the amoun of blood loss as well as other things associated with hemophilia.

NO

Certainly for a clergyman-Gone-Bad The mad Monk was a dirty middle-aged man. It was rumored he first ran afoul of the Higher ups of the famed Monastery of Mount Athos, which is Greek Orthodox but has other Orthodox clerics in its stagg- he got bounced out of Mt.Athos. IKGB files that have been declassified stated the mad Monk in civil garb, and looking like a 90-day submarine vet!-unshaven, once was caught exposing himself in a neat Moscow restaurant. Aunt Betty- Sister of the Czar and herself of Grand Ducal rank wrote a letter to the Czar and was afraid that the antics of the mad cleric would have a bad effect on the character of the Grand Duchesses, meaning, of course the Four Romanov Girls- She had seen dirty cartoons poking fun ina sacrilegious way at the Princesses! The only thing worse than hot water from the KGB, pun intended might be CGB_ Clergy Gone bad! Strange Priests or we who never straightly walk, but all aslant through sideways passage stalk- based on the poem (The Bishops) which was not anti-clerical but referring to the Chess Piece. It should be understood that Alexandra was more taken up with Rasputin than any other member of the Royal family, and even Imperial Secret Service men- then IKGB were just itching from orders from above to knock him off, which they did. Rasputin was a bad man, there was a joke the Gregorian Chant- actually a prayerful ritual in the Catholic church, but a pun on his name went- O Beautiful, For Stasia"s Thighs! Sick and dirty man, he had it coming.l : it is looking more and more like the British and their Russian counterparts were very interested in off-ing Rasputin because a)he did not believe in the class system(haves and have-nots), and b)he didn't want Russia go to war with Germany.... : i am paraphrasing here from Wikipedia and the telegraph.co.uk(however, there are many more sources that back up this new evidence). :

: "Now it is claimed that the SIB(British secret service) wanted to kill Rasputin, who was hoping to broker peace between Russia and Germany, because of his influence over the Tsar. The fear, according to Mr Cullen, was that if such a deal had been agreed in 1916, 350,000 German troops would have been freed to fight the Allies on the Western Front." : "Rasputin represented for the Czar the voice of the Russian peasantry. He informed him about "the tears of the life of the Russian people." Rasputin abhorred Russian nobility and declared that class to be of another race, not Russian. : He made a point of humiliating the high and mighty. : On many occasions he took from the rich and gave to the poor."

Grigory Rasputin went by The Mad Monk, and Rasputin.

No, far from it. Rasputin wanted to keep the Romanovs alive because he was benefiting from being a favorite of Empress Alexandra. In December 1916, Rasputin was murdered by certain members of the Russian aristocracy who disliked the fact that he had become a powerful person just because he had Alexandra's favor.

In July 1918, the Romanovs were murdered by members of the secret police, the Cheka, and Red Army soldiers on orders from Vladimir Lenin.

After her father's assassination in 1916, Varvara and her older brother Dmitri returned to their home village in Siberia. It seems that she disappeared shortly after this. However, it is unlikely that she is still alive, as she would now be 110 - she was born in 1900.

Rasputin was a staret (or a holy man) with healing and prophetic powers. When tsar Nicholas II was in power he needed a male successor, so after four girls, Alexandra (Nicholas's wife) gave birth to Alexei. Alexei had inherited the disease hemophilia from his grandmother Queen Victoria. This blood disease was untreatable and usually led to and untimely death. But Rasputin was able to help Alexei and was able to keep some of the pain away

Actually, Rasputin was a 'strannik' (wandering spiritual pilgrim) and not a starets (a monk). He was widely known for his healing powers which are widely documented, as well as for his preaching abilities. He was said to give very inspirational sermons. He did help stem the tzarevitch Alexei's bleeding and pain, for which the Tsarina was grateful, and the Imperials also found it very comforting to talk to him as a sort of confessor. Much of the artistocracy was appalled at a peasant getting so close to the royal family and did everything they could to discredit him by spreading rumors of drunken behavior and womanizing. When that didn't work, they killed him, despite the fact that Rasputin never harmed a soul.

According to a new book, "Rasputin and The Jews" by Delin Colon, Rasputin believed in equal rights for all, and was completely against war or violence of any kind. He worked very hard to try to obtain equal rights for the severely oppressed Jews of tsarist Russia and it was for this reason that the anti-Semitic nobility hated him and spread vicious rumors about him. He warned the Tsar that involvement in war (such as WW I) would lead to Russia's ruin. He was very concerned about the scarcity of food during the war, especially for the poor and the peasants. He had his rich friends give money to the poor to help them out. The aristocracy felt he was too 'leftist' and would disrupt their social order, so they killed him.

Rasputin was accused of having affairs with the Romanov women but there was no proof of this. He did have a strong influence on the Czarina which made many people upset. There were some that said he waved his reproductive organ around at a restaurant in Yar, but this was a fabrication by his enemies.
