Their basic mode of operation is to miss quote religious, political, and revolutionary leaders to twist and polarize their meaning and claim all (wisdoms) as their own. The same is most likely true of Rasputin in some game of playing ends against the middle.

RandomAction said: “I’d like to know where you got that photograph of my mother?

In Russia, even as recent as the first part of the 20th Century, certain people were given misplaced respect and honor. Sadly the same happens in the first part of the 21st century as well.

To continue:
Where did he come from, was he Russian? Was that his native language? When did he arrive in the lives of the Romanov’s? How was he introduced to them? Why was he introduced to them? You have raised more questions than you’ve answered. Which I think is good.”

Netflix has all the answers to your questions in a Documentary. Flipping amazing and creepy guy his entire life.

There was no water in his lungs. You bought into the myth. Read the autopsy report. Admittedly the autopsy was slap-dash but the facts stand. A bullet to the head killed the ‘mad monk’ instantly. He was dead when he went off the Petrosky Bridge. Eventually, as a direct circumstance of the Revolution, Rasputin’s grave was desecrated and his remains destroyed with typical Soviet lack of efficientcy: again, a truck baring embarassing evidence bogs down and the contents are then set afire. Nonetheless, Gregory Rasputin was shot to death; given a fine coffin and funeral by the clueless Romanovs, (though Nicolas was said to be much releived to have him gone at last). They didn’t have the time to build a chapel to his memory, or Alexandra didn’t. He was discovered, dug up and untidily disposed of. Amen

So Rasputin came to “bless” the Tsarina so she would have a baby boy to the royal name onto.

This book is a well-documented account of Rasputin as a healer, equal rights activist and man of God, and why he was so vilified by the aristocracy that their vicious rumors became accepted as history. 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 wealth of evidence 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. The author is the great-great niece of Aron Simanovitch, Rasputin’s Jewish secretary.

Rabbi Joshua Chasan says: “Delin Colon characterizes her book “Rasputin and the Jews” as A Reversal of History. What she attempts to do is correct the widely held view of Rasputin as an evil man who committed the worst debaucheries, substituting instead a view of Rasputin as a humanitarian, a courageous defender of Jews and other people vulnerable in pre-revolutionary Russia. She identifies the sources of the negative views of Rasputin, making a good case for the need for us to see that there are a lot of ways of remembering the past.”
Delin Colón “bashes the popular notion of the infamous Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin as an influential anti-Semitic, power-hungry conniver in the final years of the Russian Romanov dynasty.” –The Baltimore Jewish Times – Neil Rubin
“Colón has put forth the notion that Rasputin’s advocacy on behalf of the country’s Jews contributed to his demise.” –The Jewish Literary Review – Steve Pollak

I’m fairly sure Rasputin was not a lich. Nor did he have a bat sidekick. Also, Anastasia was very, very dead a little while after the Revolution. Which Rasputin did not cause, I will add. He might have discredited the royal family slightly, but Lenin already had the Tsar’s death in mind before that.

Romanav dynasty existing for 300 years was ended to Rasputin. So good try with the insults to the movie.
