Biography of Grigori Rasputin

Grigori Rasputin was born in Tyumen, district of Siberia. People believed that he was possessed by some inexplicable power that could heal people. He entered Verkhoture Monasterv but escaped to become a monk. Afterwards, he returned and got married at 19 to Proskovia Fyodorovna. Rasputin has 3 children and another one with a different woman.  

The first time he met Nicolas 2 is when his son was very ill and Nicolas needed someone to heal him. He knew that Rasputin had some sort of unknown power so he decided to take him. Nicolas son was ill with haemophilia. With Rasputin’s power he managed to stop the bleeding and was now a member of the royal palace.

After a couple of rumours that passed by, Felix Yusupov, Vladimir Purishkevich, the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich Romanov, Dr. Stanislaus de Lazovert and Lieutenant Sergei Mikhailovich Sukhotin, an officer in the Preobrazhensky Regiment, decided to kill Grigori Rasputin. The plan was to invite him for dinner and poison him. When they saw that the poison never worked, they decided to make Yusupov shoot Rasputin.

This is a quote Yusupov's said about killing Rasputin:

"Rasputin stood before me motionless, his head bent and his eyes on the crucifix. I slowly raised the crucifix. I slowly raised the revolver. Where should I aim, at the temple or at the heart? A shudder swept over me; my arm grew rigid, I aimed at his heart and pulled the trigger. Rasputin gave a wild scream and crumpled up on the bearskin. For a moment I was appalled to discover how easy it was to kill a man. A flick of a finger and what had been a living, breathing man only a second before now lay on the floor like a broken doll."

Rasputin’s body was found on December 19th by the river 65 metres from the bridge by a cop. The man that committed his murder got interviewed by the cops decided to drop the charges of murder.
