Seems like "The King's Man" did their research. The eating without utensils, the ladies man, the debouchery all were in the movie. Nice. Happy Easter Weird History team!
This man's just got to go", declared his enemies But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please" No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms Then one night some men of higher standing Set a trap, they're not to blame "Come to visit us", they kept demanding And he really came
In all of my literal Education I've never came across this person. It's only until i started playing video games and came across the Grigori Rasputin character in Shadow Hearts: Covenant (shadow hearts 2) and his story with the Russian aristocracy in the alternate history of the game's plot that i really took interest in this historical character. I have to say, with regards to actual history. This man really makes quite the stories
My friends and I questioned that as teens. We came to the educated guess agreement that him using his hands to eat his food could have been a silver/metal allergy. Being royal, you know they didn't have fakes at the table. Eating with his hands cover the issue. Then again, he probably was a gross person.
Outstanding, ya weirdos lol. Really, best doc I've seen on him. You totally nailed this one 👏. Takes a weirdo to know a weirdo I guess lol. Have a great day
So first heard of Rasputin from the animated film Anastasia. Then in I did Modern History 2008-09 in High School about the Russian revolution and then I did my essay of Russia for Anastasia and couldn't believe what happened. The song "Rasputin" by Boney M is all true to his death, except the forget to add that after they killed him they dumped his corpse in a frozen lake.
Ra..Ra.. Rasputin lover of the Russian Queen. There was a cat that really was gone Ra..Ra.. Rasputin Russian's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on.😜 R
A suggestion for a video: Tom Horn. Two movies about him, 1979 "Mr. Horn" with David Carradine and 1980 "Tom Horn" with Steve McQueen. Wild West character when the West was not wild anymore. Cowboy, trick roper, scout, tracker, interpreter, Pinkerton, police, soldier, killer... yet maybe unjustly executed.
Alan Rickman was a fabulous Rasputin. It was an HBO movie back in the day. Perhaps you can find it on HBO Max. I think it’s his best role. It I am fascinated by Rasputin.
Imo the best cinematic portrayal of Rasputin was ex Doctor Who Tom Baker, in the film Nicholas and Alexander. Just look up production photos of him in it to see how uncanny his likeness was. :)
There was a secret police report from 1 a.m., outside Rasputin's apartment. A naked woman clutching her clothes to herself flees from his apartment into the night, while Rasputin wearing only a bathrobe emerges from his door saying nothing, but simply laughing at her.
Everyone predicted the fall of the Romanovs... Not impressive hahaha. The revolution was brewing for years, Nicolas' Grandfather Czar Alexander was assinated by revolutionaries. Very, very few people believed Rasputin's lies. Hence why he was so disliked. Nicolas's mother and sisters (who survived the revolution, as they could see the writing on the wall) begged him to make changes. Nicolas seemed like a nice enough man but he was the worst Czar possible for Russia during that time. Rasputin just added to Nicolas and Alexandra's disastrous reputations. You already had the mass stampede during their coronation celebrations as well as Bloody Sunday plus the idiotic war with Japan in 1905 and Nicolas' closure of the Duma. Besides all that, Nicolas and Alexandra ran away from their capital and lived a very isolated, ignorant existence at their palace. They were more out of touch with their people than Louis and Marie. Oh and Alexandra was German and shy, she was never a favourite with the Russians. So when she took over the government when Nicolas was at war, things got even worse for the imperial couple. Still, they never believed they would be executed, despite dire warnings from their own families, who worried about them desperately.
I have a feeling that by wandering about he learned a few things that gave him insight that the royal family couldn't have. He most likely was a con-man who got lucky, but that didn't necessarily rob him of having insight. I believe he warned the Czar about going to war, which did in the end destroy the royal family. Keep in mind a person can predict the future if they know certain factors that would affect future events. Russia was a land that had extremes in terms of royal control which was by then outdated, there were revolutionaries vying for control of the country - not all of them were the later Soviets, and there were many who wanted changed and earlier there was a revolution in 1906 that tried to bring about that change. Just by being a wander, someone who would need to survive especially as a con-man, would need to understand people, and so by being around peasants and other individuals he learned about them and how they thought. In short my guess is he understood people a lot better than the Czar and his wife did and that's how he operated.
Thanks for writing such a thoughtful comment! Nice to read :) bless! I do agree - totally. I only would add I also personally feel he was mad. Living the way he did in his earlier life. From Siberia, iirc? I can’t remember. While I do feel he was a con, I feel he had the added “problem” lol of being truly mad. Not helpful, hahaha. To have the combination. Wish he could’ve been in a mental hospital/prison rehab, although, I have my doubts how much treatment would really help him……
@@catsberry4858 Mad yes, but the odd thing about madness is sometimes there is still intelligence working in the mind. He would have needed to be smart in order to pull off what he did because madness alone would not work. One does have to keep in mind that cult leaders can be the same way; psychotic but cunning.
at the alexander palace, nicholas and alexandra's primary residence, rasputin was forced to hose down before he was admitted into the presence of the imperial couple.
Is it jarring to anyone else that only 20 years separated Rasputin and Stalin?!

There was another movie about him called Rasputin- The Mad Monk. It had Christopher Lee as Rasputin. I saw that late night movie on an independent channel that became a Fox channel years later.
@@colleen3514 mistakes happen, especially when your a crazed grammar nazi state Makes you disregard your own mistakes. And because you rather spend your life rudely correcting strangers you don’t know
I like to ask which story is more likely: A group of assassins poisoned him, shot him, castrated him and threw him in the river, or that they shot him in the head, threw him in the river and then made the story up to make it sound more exciting.
Weird History only scrapped the surface of this man, I highly recommend reading about him on your own. His life was truly crazy down to his pickled penis (that his daughter confirmed was his)
Not gunna lie, I probably would have gone there just for those eyes. I briefly dated a dude who had the same sort of... wild intensity in his eyes. Lovely guy, but that stare made your legs turn to jelly.
Rasputin was his last name at birth, not a nickname. He came from a family of Rasputins that dated their lineage back to the 17th centrury (at first, it was spelled Rosputa). Two hundred years later, over 30 peasants in his village bore this last name. By the way, "Rasputin" could have come from распутство (rasputstvo = debauchery), распутица (rasputitza = muddy season), or распутье (rasputye = fork in the road). The first one is the least likely, since no pious Christian would want their family name to hint at depravity.
@A M They were peasants. The main difference is that peasants (a) own smaller land plots and few basic farming tools (or even rent them) and (b) consume all of the product they produce. Farmers (a) own large plots of land + more sophisticated farming tools and (b) produce an excess product that can be sold. In the 2nd half of the 19th century, most Russian peasants were former serfs. Some of them did acquire some wealth in the years that followed, but considering that Rasputin was born in 1869, i.e. 8 years after the abolition of serfdom, his family couldn't have come into money so soon. By the 1910s, farming in Russia was still in its infancy. Its development was interrupted by WWI and the 1917 revolution.
Yea they all meet up there for good deals on them. They got those packs that got so many in them for such a low price. I think that’s where my mom went to also. At least the ones who go out for milk are thinking about something for the house lol
Honestly the more accurate details on his death, and surprisingly quite a few other things stunned me. Not only is it so satisfying listening to our Weird History, but also much more accurate facts than I have heard before. And as a history buff, I am impressed 👌 Major fan btw 👏
I read a great book on Rasputin when I was in college called "The Rasputin File" by Edvard Radzinsky. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about him.
Forgot to mention the part of the story where after they dumped him in the river there was evidence that he was still alive and actually ended up freezing to death. Nevermind, there it is.
One thing that I've always thought was interesting was when Rasputin saw Alexis for the first time, he told Alexandra not to let the doctors give Alexis aspirin for pain. Very good advice since aspirin is a blood thinner and the LAST thing someone with Hemophilia needs is a blood thinner. How did Rasputin know that?
Willow bark was used for centuries before Aspirin existed in a synthesized product. The people who used this folk remedy more than likely were aware of its blood thinning properties.
He likely didn’t know, but he was probably trying to create distrust towards Alexis’s doctors so he could further manipulate and control the boy’s parents, by suggesting that the aspirin wouldn’t help.
He had an extreme input and intelligence from all the military base I'm sure he knew that this was in the works it isn't that he had this great vision he just as a fairly smart man and he put things together simple
You know it's the weird history channel when the word cuckolded is in the script. As someone who only knew Rasputin basics, but has always been interested in the man, this was perfect.
“The Last Czar” on Netflix is an excellent docu-drama. The Rasputin episodes are very interesting. It appears Rasputin was a super freak….and well-endowed (supposedly).
@@missbhavin4philly I love documentaries/docudramas. I’ve seen The Last Czar about three times. The Age of Samurai: The Battle for Japan is another very good one. I’ve seen it at least three times also.
Simple, he's a vampire. No body (did anyone document that fire?) Poisoned, bludgeoned, shot, and put into a freezing river, only to crawl his way out downstream. He disappeared (wouldn't you leave after that?) and hasn't been seen since, having taken up residence in a mountain with other outcasts. Or, at least that's the story I'm weaving in a novel. :) Bk 5 of my series.

The two funniest things about Rasputin's murder: 1. Rasputin was not a fan of cake. That's probably why plan 'assassinate Rasputin with cake poison' failed. 2. Felix Yusopov's wife, Irina, wrote to him after the assassination, and the letter can be summed up as "what were you thinking, how could you be so stupid, why didn't you invite me?"
His suggestion to stop the treatment of Aspirin for his hemophilia seemed to ease the bleeding. As we know today Aspirin for clotting disorders can be fatal. It gave the impression he had mystical powers.Back then Aspirin was a cure all drug for everything.
@@kennethkobylakiewicz3157 Rasputin never mentioned aspirin by name. He was too uneducated to know about its effect. He just told the parents to "not let the doctors bother the boy too much". When the doctors were removed, so was the aspirin.
He is such an interesting historical character. Great video, it really helps for understanding that period in time between the royals and him. Thank you for the video.
I heard that disclaimers for movies were made, because someone made a short movie about Rasputin, which made the assassin's wife complain about it, which is why disclaimers exist
Rasputin was basically Charles Manson before Charles Manson, charismatic hippie hobo who can get people to do his bidding because they like the magic mans funny words.
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear, But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear.
He could preach the Bible like a preacher, full of ecstasy and fire. But he also was the kind of teacher women would desire.

He drank it all and said I feel fiiiine
And so they shot him 'til he was dead.

the assassins messed up when they tried to poison him with his favorite food
He consumed enough potassium cyanide to kill a dozen men.Before the gun shots and drowning in the ice choked river

You know it's the weird history channel when the word cuckolded is in the script. As someone who only knew Rasputin basics, but has always been interested in the man, this was perfect.
“The Last Czar” on Netflix is an excellent docu-drama. The Rasputin episodes are very interesting. It appears Rasputin was a super freak….and well-endowed (supposedly).
Robert Massie's excellent book Nicholas and Alexandra has a detailed section about Rasputin.
I stumbled on it by accident, was transfixed!!

I love documentaries/docudramas. I’ve seen The Last Czar about three times. The Age of Samurai: The Battle for Japan is another very good one. I’ve seen it at least three times also.
Rasputin was the original James Bond villain 😆 just look at that guy!
You're absolutely right. I never thought about that!
Simple, he's a vampire. No body (did anyone document that fire?) Poisoned, bludgeoned, shot, and put into a freezing river, only to crawl his way out downstream. He disappeared (wouldn't you leave after that?) and hasn't been seen since, having taken up residence in a mountain with other outcasts. Or, at least that's the story I'm weaving in a novel. :) Bk 5 of my series.
"Like an entire K-pop band trapped in Dumbledore's body" got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I luv this channel 😀
"I'm telling you it's the beard" he was popular with ladies 🤣
It was his huge ass et!
I first heard of Rasputin from the song by Boney M.
Ra Ra Rasputin 🎶👑😈
It appears he's still alive and rules Russia right now.
After watching Paula White, Trump's spiritual advisor, doing her song and dance....'ol Rasputin strikes me as sorta tame.
Apparently Rasputin even told the Russian Monarch that if they get involved in WW1 it'll be the end of their empire
Yeah so did around 50% of the Russian population.
To anyone that might be reading this, I wish that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better.

Thank you. I needed to hear that today. Bright blessings!
🖤🌻🌻🖤
Thanks you. ☺😊❤.
Thank you very much..wishing the same for you
Likewise
The two funniest things about Rasputin's murder:
1. Rasputin was not a fan of cake. That's probably why plan 'assassinate Rasputin with cake poison' failed.
2. Felix Yusopov's wife, Irina, wrote to him after the assassination, and the letter can be summed up as "what were you thinking, how could you be so stupid, why didn't you invite me?"
One of the rarest kinds of man, a completely selfish individual.
As far as I understand he mainly managed to calm down the boy’s mother who’s fussing was making the recovery more difficult.
Recovery was impossible, as there was no cure for hemophilia back then. The boy was doomed.
His suggestion to stop the treatment of Aspirin for his hemophilia seemed to ease the bleeding. As we know today Aspirin for clotting disorders can be fatal. It gave the impression he had mystical powers.Back then Aspirin was a cure all drug for everything.
@@kennethkobylakiewicz3157 Rasputin never mentioned aspirin by name. He was too uneducated to know about its effect. He just told the parents to "not let the doctors bother the boy too much". When the doctors were removed, so was the aspirin.
I think the 1st I ever knew of Rasputin is from the arcade fighting game World Heroes where he's a villain character.
He is such an interesting historical character.
Great video, it really helps for understanding that period in time between the royals and him.
Thank you for the video.
I partook in lots of flagellation myself as a teenager…😁🤷♂️🔫💀🤘
fknay....but only as a teenager....and yesterday.
I heard that disclaimers for movies were made, because someone made a short movie about Rasputin, which made the assassin's wife complain about it, which is why disclaimers exist
Yeah bro they said that in the video lol
Thank you for this informative video about Jared Leto.
Ra-ra-Rasputin, lover of the russian queen...can't help it.
Rasputin was basically Charles Manson before Charles Manson, charismatic hippie hobo who can get people to do his bidding because they like the magic mans funny words.
So Russian women love bridge trolls.
How did he heal the little prince ??,!
Prayer...
Rasputin was the OG hipster. Royals found him hobo chic before it was cool
God 🙏 bless Rasputin ☦️✝️☦️
The man is a Saint...
