Grigori Rasputin

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.

he represents moses in animal farm i believe

Rasputin had huge influence over the Russian Royal family because he claimed to be able to cure the haemophilia ( an incurable blood disorder ) of the heir to the throne, the Tsarevich. Needless to say, he couldn't and didn't cure the Tsarevich. He was a monk, but he could hardly have behaved less like a monk.

He was extremely ignorant and bigoted, and the population of Russia greatly resented the influence he had over the Tsarina, especially, who was desperate for her son to be cured.

"Rasputin's influence was increasingly felt in Russian society, in the appointment of Bishops, even in politics. After 1911 many high government offices were filled by his appointees, most of whom were incompetent."

"The armies of Russia did not fare well in the wars, the despair of the people arising out of hunger and disease as well as an appalling casualty rate led to murmerings against the Czarina as a "German woman" and against Rasputin "The Dissolute" her sinister advisor who was held to have indulged in many scandalous relationships with the ladies of the court and even with the Czarina herself. Rumors circulated that Rasputin was actually conspiring with the Central Powers to bring about a Russian defeat"

yes rasputin was a real person and a Russian song

The Tsar; Nicholas II tolerated Rasputin for the sake of the Empress Alexandra and her resolute belief that Rasputin would cure the Tsarevitch Alexis of his hemophilia. The Tsar was said in private to despise Rasputin and wished to ban him from Tsarskoe Selo. In love with his wife and afraid of what it would do to the Empress's ever burgeoning emotional frailty Rasputin remained His relationship and his proximity to the Imperial family especially the Empress and the four Grand Duchess' was the talk of St. Petersburg. Stories of inappropriate conduct to the downright lewd had an increasingly negative impact on the state of the empire. Grigory Effimovich Rasputin is widely recognized as a key player in the ruin of the dynasty.

The government declined even more and became increasingly unpopular.

i think rasputin was very manipulative, and he sure used it to his advantage. he manipulised women by telling then in order to get closer to god they had to sin (he encouraged them to sleep with him). he also claimed to have spiritual powers therefore curing the tsars son. he definatly had qualities but he used them for badness.

He was a monk that was brought to assist Tsar Nicholas II's son, Alexei. The son of the Tsar had hemophilia, and Rasputin was said to have mystical powers that could cure the young boy's disease.

Before and after being appointed to his position, Rasputin was rumoured to having an elaborate sex life. He was reported to having held orgies, and pictures were often taken of him surrounded by many women. These actions however did not conflict with his religious beliefs, for his religion believed in fulfilling the desires of men.

After being positioned to help Alexei, Rasputin gained political power as well. As the Tsar was away for assignments of WW1, the Tsarina was put in charge. She was greatly influenced by Rasputin due to his dedication to cure her son. Although the Tsarina was always announcing the political changes, Rasputin played a major part in the decision making process. This power that Rasputin was holding was well recognized by the Russian people, and in turn it became a cause of the 1917 February/ March Revolution.

Many accusations were made against him from rape to being a German spy during WWI. In the end he was stabbed, poisoned, shot, beaten and drowned by assassins who found he was difficult to kill when he survived attack after attack.

.

The Russian population generally did not like him and questioned his motives. They felt that staying by the Tsar's side meant trouble but even the Tsar was not completely fond of him. It was the Tsarina that placed her trust in Rasputin because of his mysticism and potential to "cure" their son and only heir of hemophilia.

Other than the Tsar being grateful to Rasputin for helping the Tsarevitch Alexei when he suffered from bouts of hemophilia, he simply found it comforting to talk to the peasant. However, with regard to political suggestions, Rasputin had no effect at all. The Tsar completely ignored all of his advice, such as: not getting involved in World War I, giving the Jews equal rights, and giving the peasants land to farm. Ironically, after the revolution, Lenin did all of these things. If the Tsar had listened to Rasputin, the revolution might have been avoided. One must remember that the Tsar, as well as most of the Romanov dynasty, had been mercilessly slaughtering whole villages of Jews and peasants for centuries, while Rasputin never harmed a soul and forgave anyone who attempted to assassinate him. The Tsarist regime was a very oppressive one, except for the aristocrats, and Rasputin had warned Nicholas II that if he didn't accord rights to all of his people, they would turn against him. And they did. When Rasputin died, only the aristocrats rejoiced. The general population, whom he had helped, were devastated.

See "Rasputin" by R.J. Minney and "Raspoutine" (in French) by General Alexandre Spiridovitch (the chief of the Tsar's secret service, who in the 1920's wrote about Rasputin's many logical suggestions for bettering and preserving the country, and how he was unjustly vilified by the aristocracy)

Rasputin was poisoned because the czars wife AAlexandra made him a role in government affairs. He was killed by a group of nobles. He was poisoned and shot and was still fine, he eventually froze to death.

Rasputin was said to be father to four children, but is told that only two lived, through the cold Russian winters.

Rasputin was an adviser for the Romanov family during World War I. He was a negative influence on the Tsar because he was putting a lot of strange ideas into Nicholas' wife's head, and the outside perception was that he was planning a coup, or going to corrupt the Tsar into doing his personal bidding.

Tsaritsa's son suffered from hemophilia and Rasputin claimed that he can cure him. She was very worried about her son and she did everything what Rasputin said, because she truly believed that only he can cure the tsetsarevich.

Every time the Tsarina's suffered from a problem and no one else seemed to be able to aid him she would go to Rasputin. It is rumored that every time she called on Rasputin, the boy would miraculously recover.
