Are There Any Rasputins Left? 

A lot of the information for this video came from the really interesting book "Rasputin: The Untold Story" and a lot of my butchered pronunciations were from the audiobook version. Go check it out! www.amazon.co.uk/Rasputin-Untold-Joseph-T-Fuhrmann/dp/1118172760 And that's not one of those affiliate links, I'm too lazy and computer illiterate to understand how to do that.

Well considering his sexual life I'm assuming there are like a billion by now.

"After being attacked by a bear, however..." Well, that's an unexpected twist!

There is a rumour that Rasputin's son did indeed survive long enough to have a son of his own named Vladimir, who dropped that ridiculous "Ras" part of his surname.

Rasputin never died. He just took ‘Ras’ out of his name.

Him being known as Gregori Efenovich has nothing to do with his last name being "considered a burden". It's very common to call Russians by their first name and patronymic.

Russian language will never recover from this butchery. Great vid as always though!

In Russian, the letter 'o' is very often pronounced 'a', especially when it's the first vowel of the word. So it's no surprise that Rosputin turned into Rasputin because that's very likely how it was always pronounced

Ra ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen? There is a name that really is gone.

Next you should either make "Are There Any Lenins Left?" or "Are There Any Mussolinis Left?"

Are there any Romanovs left?

Rasputin is still alive and today he works as the president of the Russian federation after a name change

To quote Nikolai, “Who are you, ******* Rasputin? Stay dead this time!”

Suggestion- are there any Bismarcks left as in Otto Von Bismarck

Who would ever thunk that one of the daughters of Rasputin would live out her life in California !

That smooth rendition of Rasputin at the beginning tho...

Fun fact: The word "Ras" sounds similar to "Raz", which is the spelling for "One". If you split the name "Rasputin" into "Ras" and "Putin", you could likely call "Rasputin" as "One Putin"

Surely you know that Efimovich was his patronymic, and that all Russians have them, even if their father's name is not typically Russian. An example would be the author Valentin Arnoldevich Tomberg.

Why Netherlands call their people as Dutch instead of Netherlanders? THIS IS MY 51ST PETITION!!!

Cool moustache, Wario

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow 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 Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen There was a cat that really was gone Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar But the cassock he danced really wunderbar In all affairs of state he was the man to please But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze For the queen he was no wheeler dealer Though she'd heard the things he'd done She believed he was a holy healer Who would heal her son Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen There was a cat that really was gone Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger For power became known to more and more people The demands to do something about this outrageous Man became louder and louder 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 Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen They put some poison into his wine Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine He drank it all and said, I feel fine Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen They didn't quit, they wanted his head Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine And so they shot him 'til he was dead Oh, those Russians

Could you do a video like this about the Romanov Tsar dynasty? They were executed in 1918 after being exiled (as most of you know). But what some don't know is that a lot of the Romanov's extended family fled to Crimea. Are there any descendants of the Romanov alive today? Being a relative of the dynasty that ruled Russia for 300 years should be pretty cool.

are there any gangagoos lefts?

My great grandfather was Alexander sharkow he was the top honer guard of czar Nicholas ll and I believe at least knew Rasputin mutually so I have great respect for Rasputin

Love these videos

Imagine being one of his great-grandchildren and seeing a song about your great-grandfather turned into a meme

"Russian King & Queen." *Tsar and Tsaress.

love your channel bro please never die

Hahah the pronunciation is just HILARIOUS!! 😂😂

LOL! I was surprised how you sang the lyrics at the start

You the the "Lastputin?" kthnxbye

god i loved you starting the video by singing the song

"...Is taught in classes throughout the world." As an American, I can say we don't even mumble the word "Russia" in school. All about 'Murica, you know?

Good luck to you all

Maria is featured on the back of a 1930s Wheaties Cereal Box as part of a set of Circus Performers.

helloo!! can you make a video about the names of the sailing flags?? (or spelling in navigation) for example: A - Alfa, B - bravo etc..

At Starbucks when they ask my name I tell them rasputin. One time the girl asked how many o's there were

I now have the violin part of Rasputin in my head fml

Nice reference in the beginning.

IT'S NOT KING AND QUEEN IT'S TSAR AND TSARITSA!

I remember there was a question of the week in each video

Please can you do any mozarts that are still left

She was attacked by a bear and she lived. If anyone had thoughts of her not being Grigory's daughter, that is the proof

What’s the music in the background it sounds cool btw nice video on Rasputin

Rasputin was also known as "Father Grigori" which is probably where the famous monk from Half-Life 2 got his name

Oh, those easter eggs!

Name Explain, thank you for not just rehashing all the ways he was "killed."

Can you please do a video explaining why places have such similar names and why places just add new to the start because my best friend doesn't understand

Very good

The thumbnail is scarily accurate and kinda plain scary

When I heard Maria's daughter had children, I was scared they might have died and the Rasputins would've came to an end.

What about the last Mercury (or Bulsara).

Can you please make an episode about the Romanovs and another one about the Ottoman Dynasty?

Fun fact: Sir Christopher Lee played Rasputin, and actually met Maria Rasputin herself not long before she died. He also knew the two men who killed him.

They never told us about rasputin at school. I just heard about him from the song

Believe it or not, but I grew up in a city near Pokrovskoye. Just 85 km away.

Ra ra Rasputin Russia ‘s Greatest Love Machine! But it’s sad how he had carried on! Edit: Stop arguing the Telly says it differently ok mates?Even the radio does it so I’m confused as hell.

Name Explain, did you get your background music from Secureteam10?

"Efim". What a great name. What a great attitude. Just Efim.

Rasputin’s parents got lazy with naming his siblings, and wher just like, meh, let’s just name more then half of them Evdoka and Andre!

Can you do a video about why a the name of region of North Central Asia is only one letter off from the name of the Southwest of Europe? (namely Siberia vs. Iberia)

How to know Rasputin: Listen To Rasputin

can you do the last mad jack pls. Edit. he was a British soldier who use a bow and sword in ww2

Can you do one for the Romanovs?

I saw a grave with the name Rasputin on it once

Got my funk boots on for this.

Not king and queen more like emperor and empress

can you make an episode about the Romanov family??

Rasputin looks creepy

SONG NAME:Boney m

That thumbnail was terrifying

Amen 🎉

How about the Habsburg descendents? (Also spelled “Hapsburg”)

I didnt have anything about him in history class thanks bonnie m

Now there was a cat that really was gone.

I haven't been taught about it in history. when do you learn it? I only know about it because my musical is the Disney version of anastasia. XD

Could you do one over the Tolkien family

omg i learned about rasputin at school today!

I can hear secureteam10 in the background and keep expecting aliens!

"...are tought in history classes all over the world" mhm, never heard of him in any german history lessons lul

Was never taught about him lol, I only heard the song

oh so many boney M references. Love it

In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning...

so whats links to Petroff name and Rasputin if may ask?

I laughed when he started singing the lyrics of Rasputin by Boney M😆

He was no wheeler dealer

Yes. 6,225 by the Seventh of August 2018

Starts to play the Rasputin meme

As soon as you did that intro I had to stop and listen to the song again dammit

can you please do are there any Shakespeare's left

Yooooooooooooooo. Rasputin had a weird looking 'pickle'

its pronounced rahs-poot-een

In russian o's often are pronouced as a's. In some dialects more than in others. Similar to the great vowel change in English. So that explains the rosputin/rasputin thing.

And he looks like John Wick! XD

Can you do, "Are there any Tojos Left?"

he was big and strong his eyes of flaming gold

The 1st few lines are a reference to the 1st few lines of Rasputin by Boney M

He was so great a American made a song about it and then preformed it in Moscow!

seriously those eyes it’s like a birds eyes it’s scary like cat eyes at night when they glow

“My name is Father Grigori. I see you have met my... congregation!”
