Grigori Rasputin is as much a man as he is a legend. The mystic behind the Tsar and the Tsarina who apparently made no decision without consulting him. The healer that could perform miracles. The man who was killed for his influence in a time ripe for revolution.

In my biochemistry class the professor spoke at length about Alexei. His hemophilia was due to a mutation in a protein. This mutation stems from his grandmother Queen Victoria. He also noted the reason why Alexei improved with Rasputin. His therapies of mediation and hypnosis he used on the boy lowered his blood pressure which decreased the bleeding. Its amazing to think that a spontaneous mutation of just a couple of nucleotides in one woman possibly led to the fall of Russia.

Great episode, but some corrections: 1) Russian Orthodox priests are not celibate. They are encouraged to be married, and often have large families. Monks are, though, so it would work to say the Khlysts rejected monastic celibacy. 2) The nickname “Mad Monk” isn’t because he was a wanderer, but because he was closely associated with an actual priest-monk, Iliodor (pictured on the right at 3:13). Their later feuds were so public that the stories of “Rasputin and the Mad Monk” were even widely covered in the Western press, and the name stuck.

However incompetent and ignorant Rasputin might have been, it took an incompetent and ignorant man like Nicholas II to give him power. However, it is interesting how accurate Rasputin's prediction of the consequences of the war for Russia were. (Although I wonder if the 'prediction' was, like many such, merely a retroactive attribution of something that was never said.

@Skyfox94 7 лет назад

Either that or it was a pretty obvious situation anyway. Maybe Rasputin knew how unpopular the monarchy was, he probably had a shit ton of informants and spies in all circles so that could have helped as well.

@autolykos9822 7 лет назад

The trick with making prophesies is to always state everything and its opposite, and to never say anything clear or definitive. Nobody will remember the prophesies that fail to happen, and once you have some reputation as a prophet, they will also bend your predictions until they fit the events (before that, you'll have to do it yourself). Making up fake explanations after the fact can also help, since it makes you look insightful, and most people are poor at remembering chronology (you can often observe that trick with political or economic commentary - most pundits couldn't predict their way out of a wet paper bag, but they always have the perfect explanation after the fact). Another trick is making anti-predictions, i.e. predicting something that is overwhelmingly likely, but only looks like one of many possibilities. A good way to hide that is by squirreling away the unlikely part in a precondition, or to pick a possibility that doesn't make for a good story (we tend to underestimate those) - e.g. "If we ever encounter aliens, they will be at a vastly different level of technology from us."

+Autolykos i'm sure you felt very smart copy+pasting that from somewhere, but it's not relevant in this particular case unless you can prove he was missquoted in a positive manner despite being a character hated by everyone.

Sometime in the early 1990's, I had a dream in which I discovered that Rasputin was really a vampire. It took me quite some time to shake that off -- everything fit a little too well.

@ColTravis 7 лет назад

That would make a good Hollywierd movie.

@christosvoskresye 7 лет назад

1. If you mean this in reply to me (rather than to Mark Haushahn), it wasn't. The Disney movie came out in 1997, which wasn't "the early 1990's". I think my dream was in 1991 or 1992. 2. I still haven't seen the Disney movie. I prefer the movies made while Walt, or at least the Disney family, was still in charge. 3. The details were very un-Disney. They involved a young woman who was being killed so that her corpse could be possessed by the same demon that had possessed Rasputin. Other vampires were surrounding her and trying to make sure that her soul had been replaced by the demon. I knew it was the same demon as had possessed Rasputin from a statement she made about having made a prophecy that "shook up the world", and I recognized this as a reference to an earthquake Rasputin had foretold, and which convinced the Tsar to listen to him. (I have found no evidence of any such prediction attributed to Rasputin in the real world.)

@DarkTider 7 лет назад

Actually, I have heard a very different version on the story of Rasputin: That he actually favoured reforms that took wealth away from the aristocracy and sought to give more rights to the peasantry. Not to mention that he was supposedly known to spend a great deal of personal fortune on assisting the poor, all of which made him popular with peasants, but unpopular with the aristocracy, who saw their power and influence threatened. So that would have been a driving factor behind the decision to assasinate him, and a huge reason why the plot backfired, as the populace saw a man representing their interests and wanting to bring Russia out of the great war, killed off by a corrupt aristocracy and tzar that wanted to keep oppressing them. Another key difference I have seen in several documentaries is that many historians say that Rasputin actually ATE the poisoned cakes, but they failed to have any effect on him whatsoever, which then prompted the conspirators to meet and discuss what on earth they should do now, at which point they decided to try and shoot him instead. This seems backed by other stories of Rasputin possessing an impressive constitution and rarely ever being sick a day of his life. This would kinda make sense, considering his physical stature and background in hard work. Still, shame that many remember him as purely a crazed villain, rather than the fascinating historical figure he actually is.

@MrTomkan 3 года назад

Hey Indy, I love your work in general. It’s the best but there is something I’d like to say. Please read Douglas Smiths biography on Rasputin. He actually did a lot of archive research previous historians never did/could. Rasputin did not necessarily arrive at the court as a healer for Alexi. Actually they only mentioned him much later to Rasputin. The royal family was notorious for taking the service of spiritual holy men. They had before escaped of a scandal with a French charlatan who they deeply trusted. Actually it was Alexandra who seeked out these holy men to give Nicolas more self confidence and allow him to be a stronger ruler. This explanation gives more insight into the royal family and it also seems to suggest that this wasn’t a mere coincidence, and that if Rasputin hadn’t come along maybe another spiritual figure would have penetrated the royal family. It’s a great biography because it always puzzelen me how Rasputin climbed the ladders of society so quickly and this book really puts down the circumstances under which he did. This debunkes weird myths about Rasputin and makes the story a whole lot more logical.

Funny considering Russia never had a Queen. They should have said 'lover of the Russian Empress'

@jamiemohan2049 7 лет назад

+Matthew Familia Catherine was an Empress. Also Tsar and Tsarina were meant to be the equivalent of an Emperor and Empress as the title is an imperial title. However outside of Russia European monarchs thought it the equivalent of a King or Queen which was false in Russia there were never any kings or Queens. Peter even traded the title of Tsar for Emperor as he just wanted everyone inside and outside Russia not to dispute he was an Imperial Monarch. But No Catherine the Great was an Empress I think she may have used the title of Tsarina (need to research that more) but that was meant as an imperial title as I've said and didn't mean Queen. Tsar and Tsarina however are the equivalent of king and Queen in Slavic countries like Bulgaria but not in Russia.

It's odd to think that the very last living person to have seen Rasputin only died last year. Kyril Zinovieff, who saw Rasputin in Petrograd as a child only died last year.

Whatever you say about Rasputin. One fact is undeniable. He helped bring down the Tsar and his family from power. I wonder "What If" Rasputin had tried to influence the Tsar and his wife to a lot more positive outcomes for Russia. Would he have been successful at it. Or would he have been dismissed liked so many others. We may never know. Great job.

Question for The Great War, Do you have plans to do an episode of WHO DID WHAT IN WW1 about Joseph Joffre? I haven't heard a lot about him in the normal episodes, yet heard a lot in Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Blueprints of Armageddon.

I discovered your amazing channel about a month ago and have finally cought up with every single video you have put out. Thank you for hours upon hours of truly great edutainment. I have a question for Out Of The Trenches. I'm from Georgia (the country, not the U.S. state) and in school we have been tought a lot about the contributions made to the soviet army during WW2, but essentially nothing about our role in the Great War. I was wondering if that is because we didn't really contribute much, so could you maybe talk a bit about the Georgian participation in the Great War?

Rasputin was a Siberian, which is where the original Shamans came from. And he studied spirituality. It is no wonder he did healing that most people in our "problem set driven" medicine don't understand and can't conceive of.

@GravesRWFiA 7 лет назад

I'd heard that rasputin's death was even more violent. that he had to fight his way out of the murder room, several bits of furniture being destroyed in his passage, and when the body was found there was water in the lungs, meaning he survive the gun shots and drowned in the river.

Hey, have you thought about doing a bio or special about Lady Almina, Countess of Carnarvon/Highclere Castle in WWI? She was the inspiration for the part of Downton Abbey (filmed in Highclere Castle itself) where the castle was used as a convalescent home for British officers during the war.

@thAC0gurl 7 лет назад

lexidizzle I'd like to see an episode about all of the noble/monied families that opened their homes as hospitals and convalescent homes. I enjoyed the BBC/PBS documentary on Downtown Abbey's true historical basis, but they weren't the only ones who performed such service on the British homefront.

A lack of information makes him so ripe for conspiracy theories. I'm going to start a new conspiracy theory. Rasputin didn't die but instead went underground and changed his name; shortening it to simply Putin.

There's two types of hemophilia depending on what particular clotting factor your missing. Alexei had the type where your blood does clot-eventually. With the second type you can't form a blood clot and you usually died young from blood loss due to a myriad of what were usually minor injuries unless you were a hemophiliac. Alexis had the type where your body was able to form some kind of blood clot eventually. This type was associated with frequent bleeds into joint areas which caused inflammation and joint damage from blood in the joint. This would result in severe disability from pain and limited range of motion. There had been a body of evidence that clotting could more easily occur if the person was less anxious and agitated. The possible explanation being a lowered blood pressure along with less movement would be more likely to form a clot. Robert K. Massie goes into this whole possible explanation of Rasputin's well documented ability to "heal" the tsarevich during a particularly serious episode. Overall to quote Lenin "everything was ready for revolution except the revolutionaries". Complex and involved events explained pretty well I think!!!,

For my buterbrod is true food, and my vodka is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my vodka abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. This is the buterbrod that came down from heaven, not like the buterbrod the fathers ate and died. Whoever feeds on this buterbrod will live forever.” Rasputin said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Sankt Petursburg Josef 6:55-59.

Just got done watching Rasputin and the Empress on TCM the 1932 film, I've seen it quite a few times, I love Lionel Barrymore's portrayal of Rasputin, If he was anything like portrayed on this film he was a unusually smart and weirdly fascinating, Crazy how some people got this electric personality coupled with his grasp of religion they can rule people minds and influence thier will

Hey Indy and the Great War team, can you maybe answer my question, I've wondered if any Frisian people had a role in the First World War or were they just neutral as most live in the Netherlands, however I ask because there were and are Frisians living in Germany. Keep up the good work I love your show.
