- Get to know the story of Rasputin, known as the “Mad Monk,” who was assassinated for his involvement with the Russian monarchy.
--
On a night in 1916, Russian aristocrats set a plot of assassination into motion. If all went as planned, a man would be dead by morning, though others had already tried and failed. The monarchy was on the brink of collapse, and they believed this man was the single cause of it all. Who was he, and why was he to blame for the fate of an empire? Eden Girma explores the life of the notorious Rasputin.

The best part about the story is that the autopsy performed on the body showed that he had DROWNED. He didn't even die from the gunshot
lmao what?
Oh, these Russians 😂
He was bound in cloth and tossed in a frigid river. He unbound himself but tried to breathe and instead of getting to the surface he breathed in water - drowning.
@@danmueller4021 Rasputin was a hamon user, confirmed.
@@danmueller4021 So he was able to unbind himself with a shot to the forehead, and he drowned by trying to breathe in water? Something tells me this wasn’t the full story.

Rasputin's prophecy about his death was actually quite accurate. He wrote a letter to the tsar in 1916 which said that if he was killed by peasants, the royal family would be fine, but if he was killed by the nobles, the royal family would not last more than 2 years.
He was assassinated by a distant member of the royal family near the end of 1916 and in 1918, the entire family of the Tsar (the tsar, his wife, and children) were executed
Damn
Really? I understand executing adults but children? Man times were probably hard at that time.😐

I read once that when they found Rasputin’s body in the river they discovered that it had water in his lungs, which means that he was still alive and tried to catch some air despite being shot in the forehead.
I heard he was face up under the ice and there was evidence he tried to claw his way out 😬
What a beast...
I heard he actually burst through the ice.Still in chains before secumbing to his wounds and dying.
I heard that he was ALIVE until he died.
Talk the talk till you walk the walk
Bet you that he believed himself the man that the people claimed him to be- something out of the extraordinary. Perhaps even invincible to an extent. That might be a reason why he fought on so willfully, clinging to his corrupted life
Yoooo, this is crazy, they should make a song about him.

I think Rasputin's probably one of my favourite historical figures. He's just such an interesting guy. This video barely touches upon half of the weird stuff surrounding him. There's so many strange stories surrounding this guy, it's hard to seperate the fact from fiction.
Have you ever watched the movie 'Anastasia'? The movie has an antagonist that goes by the name Rasputin, who also had connections with the royal family of Russia, however, he wants the family dead, and he has powers. I don't know for sure if the Rasputin in the movie is based off of the actual Rasputin, but after watching this video, I wouldn't exactly be surprised if the character was based off of the actual person
also the dude was totally corrupt. He would put all of his friends in position of power by telling the queen to do so
@@BeaverChainsaw Idddkkkk that honestly seems like a bad example.
He Cunningly Exploited Russia’s Religious Hierarchy and other problems. But then again he was quite the mysterious fellow, with the whole predications and prophecies that came true.
@@tunatuna6065 it probably is based off the real rasputin but the movie is very unrealistic compared to what actually happened
@@tarragon111 I wouldn’t say it’s based on him, but rather loosely inspired by him
Almost everyone in the comments is talking about the song.
I have no complaints.
I love this.
Same!!
_"He was big & strong & his eyes were of Flamingo's👁️👄👁️🦩~♪"_
Is he the guy who could preach the Bible like a preacher
full of ecstasy and fire,
but also was the kind of teacher women would desire?
In addition to that he was also the cat that really was gone
And also was the Greatest Russian love machine
@@MrFrezeer I hear that he's also a lover of the Russian Queen
It really was a shame how he carried on
He never mind the czar as well.
They put poison in his wine.
HE DRANK IT ALL AND SAID “ I feel fine”.
They didn't quite they wanted his head

Lover of the russian queen,
And so they shot him till he was

Cause of his death: *Hypothermia*

And hair out of his head

I think hes talkin bout putin

Big brain
Religious imagery, prophecies, betrayls, war, revolution. Someone should make a TV series of it. It would be better than game of thrones.
There is a great historical series "The Romanovs. The history of Russian dynasty." You can find an English dubbing on CZcams.
@@Xuulaa I hope it's not gonna be a Hollywood version of what happend to the Romanovs.

Fun historical fact: Although called "the Mad Monk"", Rasputin was never a monk. Also, some scientists believe that the poisoned sweet wine and cakes consumed by Rasputin actually may have had the effect of neutralizing the cyanide (in one study, rats fed sugar along with cyanide fared much better than rats fed only cyanide). I'm not sure how this research translates to humans since human trials cannot be carried out for obvious reasons. However it is an interesting theory.
Could be
what if they had suicidal people trying it out, after all *they want to die anyways*

And so they shot him until he was dead

I was looking for your comment
ON A JOURNEY TO THE PAAAAST!
Great informative video.
Also worth mentioning is that the tsars wife suffered extreme anxiety and rarely interacted with anyone outside the royal family.
This anxiety was triggered by alexei’s bleeding episodes, and Rasputin’s presence calmed her down, which in turn calmed alexei down, lessening the bleeding.
Nicholas II had said: better 10 rasputins than one of the empress’s hysterical fits.
There’s also the placebo effect.
The animation is so stylized it keeps my eyes to the screen

"Ra ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen, they didn't quit, they wanted his head, ra ra Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine, as so they shot him till he was dead"
Ah those Russians !
There's a good documentary series on Netflix called "last Czars" which talks a bit about Rasputin. I'd definitely recommend it.
How do you make these videos they look soooo amazing
“I Will not rest until the romanov line ends forever!”
Rasputin. Anastasia
I love that movie! I used to write Fanfiction for it!
"Rasputin The Mad Monk. History's man of mystery. Now the real shocking story can be told" - trailer of Rasputin The Mad Monk starring Christopher Lee 1966.
Me, seeing all the comments:
I'm so glad we all have one song in our brain.
Rasputin:Gets shot
Yusupov:pursues him
Rasputin:where did that bring you? back to me
*Thank You*
He predicc
He heal the sicc
But most importantly
He's fond of chicc!
Great one
Omg ...thats so dope..
And he had a huge dicc (no, really, look it up)
Lol
I thought you were gonna say something like "He hella thicc"
I've always loved Rasputin. He's iconic. He was just a compulsive liar with incredible luck. They didn't talk about it in this video, but he was originally brought into the royal sphere to use his rumored "healing powers" on their son. Rasputin would pray over him and the son would briefly recover each time. They straight up thought he was magic.
It is believed that he could stop the blood of the prince. He had hemophilia. How could he stop the bleeding?
@@user-fm4xx8xt9g hypnosis
@@user-fm4xx8xt9g Well early 20th century doctors giving the czarevich aspirine (which fluidifies blood) weren't helping much, so when Rasputin ordered the doctors away, that probably helped. Also, he might've had a calming effect on the czarina and therefore on the boy.

That's interesting- never heard that someone had replaced the poison with an inert substance (approx 4 mins).

Wasn't there at least one extra step in the assasinaton?
