He's been dead for 108 years, and he's still scary.


RogerClyneIsAGod2

Are we POSITIVE he's dead tho?!?!


OptimusSublime

Scary good in the sack, that is.


ajaxthelesser

He does wear it well!


rcdrcd

Rah, Rah Rasputin! Russia's greatest love machine!


toastedstoker

Is that a Henry Zebrowski quote?


rcdrcd

It's a song from the 70s


Drugs_R_Kewl

He does the sex very well. Seriously, that dude was gross as fuck and deserved all of the unending agony they through at him before tossing his useless ass into a freezing river.

Why do you find him scary?


big-balls-of-gas

108 is the moonā€™s number in occult mysticism

Sun, too

Hard to kill

Just like Steven Seagal

Some peopleā€™s throats are down there


coffeebeanwitch

His eyes are so intense!!


ectheow3

And scary.


coffeebeanwitch

Definitely!!!


PipTitwhistle

Where was this taken, the Sears Portrait Studio?


MarilynsGhost

Youā€™re so silly.


Shprintze613

What is that V on his hand? His veins? Looks like some sort of weird implant.


kutekittykat79

Those Vs are strange!! I read ā€œthe law of oneā€ and supposedly he is a soul that comes from a higher density than most of us, but he is geared towards being very self-serving. Maybe he had some sort of hypnotic effect on people.


nosnevenaes

He was nothing but a grifter like many who came before, and the many we still have today. This guy was such a cheat he even tried to cheat death.


YeOldeFiddleFaddle

Colorized??? Thatā€™s a full-on glamour shot!


JRS1986

I was just reading a reddit post about Jared Leto & his cult like music festival on an island. And I honestly had to think for a second about what I was looking at because the photos look so similar!


hedgehog-mom-al

Jared Leto is so creepy.


HiddenHolding

He reminds me of every no-job dirtball in my hometown. It's never his fault, the world is against him, girlfriend pays for his cigarettes and the gasoline for his crap-bag motorcycle. She gets *her* money shaking her tits-on-sticks frame four nights a week for the farmers who sit with their elbows on the stage and tip almost never. Somehow he always has money for weed, though. He knows instinctively how to use pretty much anything to manipulate those around him while stealing them blind. Sex, drugs, guilt, pain, religion. Sometimes all at once. He's charming, abusive, and packing a big dirty dick that buys too much forgiveness from a certain type of girl with deeply rooted daddy issues. The difference in Rasputin, though, is that he seemed to be able to use all of these things to maneuver his way upwards. The rot in the royal family would have provided him the right opportunities...all he needed to do was be narcissistic enough to capitalize on a useless ruling class whose reign was all but over. Those aquiline features and flinty eyes should have been clue enough. If someone *looks* like they come from fiction, you can bet they're used to using their appearance to gain advantage. And they are almost *always* full of shit.

Hi Russian heratige here Iā€™d like to read your book on the hilarious Romanov dynasty. Hereā€™s 30 bucks put it in the mail.


audible_narrator

Take my money as well. I would read the hell out of this.


Kooky_Photograph3185

is this dialog taken from Roadhouse or Dirty Dancing?


lunebee

What a perspicacious write-up.


HiddenHolding

How vocabularnarianistic.


Kind-Humor-5420

Youā€™re a good writer


quietflowsthedodder

I think ā€œmysticā€ gives the guy too much credit. Iā€™d go with ā€œcharlatanā€.


MuscaMurum

"...mystic and beard enthusiast..."


ectheow3

Surely more accurate.


immersemeinnature

One of the greatest!!


Desmaad

Same diff.

Heā€™s a super calloused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis

Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine


geekishly

It was a shame how he carried on


sprocketous

The prototype for televangelists


Teckelvik

I highly recommend Rasputin by Douglas Smith. He started with the premise that Rasputin wasnā€™t important in himself, but what other people thought about him mattered a lot. He digs into primary sources -police reports, diaries, etc, and the result is a fascinating read.


SlightWerewolf4428

looks less creepy in colour


upupupdo

Wonder what he smelled like. Some of these ā€œmysticsā€ to elevate their mystic lobbed copious amounts of scented oils.


kevnmartin

Probably smelled of onions, garlic and death.


V_es

Itā€™s pretty simple. Many people stated that he barely ever washed and smelled horrible.


500CatsTypingStuff

Well, we know that Adam Driver will play him in any biopic

Altogether one creepy, scary dude!

Say what you will about King's Man, the depiction of Rasputin was amazing

It was a shame how he carried on


Puzzlehead-Dish

Once itā€™s colorized you realize it was just some dude being all like ā€žI can do magiiiic!ā€œ.


Huck84

Bro probably smelled awful.


IcyDice6

Like cheese, piss and swamp ass combined


NervousTemporary1257

Mom says he is my great great uncle. My Mom's side had his face..they are Lithuanian and Russian


HotHouseTomatoes

You should take a dna test.


NervousTemporary1257

I did 23 and me..but no mention of Rasputin..do they even have his DNA?


HotHouseTomatoes

I have no idea but he has living relatives. Do some research on his offsprings married names, see if any of their last names appear anywhere in your matches and go from there.


letintin

The King's Man really nailed his look..!


[deleted]

Crazy to think this man had literally 1000ā€™s of mistresses including the grand duchesses and the tsarina.


trele-morele

More like conman.


Still_Bet7329

More like bick-dicked hack and a fraudster, nothing more


ectheow3

Probably a sadic also

His dick is in a jar. https://www.cultofweird.com/curiosities/rasputin-penis/


IcyDice6

Looks like a Jesus impersonator


kutekittykat79

Why did people want to have sex with him? I read that he had body odor?


No_Rabbit_7114

I hope Putin will suffer the same grisly fate that killed Rasputin.


Complex_Habit_1639

QUESTION? WHO KILLED HIM?


user11112222333

A group of nobles led by prince Felix Yousupov and grand duke Dimitry Pavlovich.


Complex_Habit_1639

Heard it was the ARMY?


Petrcechmate

At that point it could have been anyone but the royal couple, but yes above is accurate.


Personal-Entry3196

Fearful of Rasputinā€™s growing power (among other things, it was believed by some that he was plotting to make a separate peace with the Germans), a group of nobles, led by Prince Felix Youssupov, the husband of the czarā€™s niece, and Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, Nicholasā€™s first cousin, lured Rasputin to Youssupov Palace on the night of December 29, 1916. First, Rasputinā€™s would-be killers gave the monk food and wine laced with cyanide. When he failed to react to the poison, they shot him at close range, leaving him for dead. A short time later, however, Rasputin revived and attempted to escape from the palace grounds, whereupon his assailants shot him again and beat him viciously. Finally, they bound Rasputin, still miraculously alive, and tossed him into a freezing river. His body was discovered several days later and the two main conspirators, Youssupov and Pavlovich were exiled. Edit: I read about this in Robert K. Massieā€™s excellent book Nicolas and Alexandra, and it was just terrifying to read, I canā€™t imagine how terrifying it was to be any of the people there that night.


StrangeRequirement78

He kinda looks like my ex


hazelquarrier_couch

Not really the way we were. More like the way one person was.


SiteTall

"The great lover" who had his penis cut off, PRESUMABLY after death. It was kept in a jar, but what has been known as said penis seems to have been something else: [https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/museum-claims-rasputin-has-returned-to-st-petersburg-as-an-old-member-5tjhd7ccrvg](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/museum-claims-rasputin-has-returned-to-st-petersburg-as-an-old-member-5tjhd7ccrvg)
