Gregory Rasputin |
Gregory Yepimovich Rasputin (22 Jan 1869 - 29 Dec 1916) was a monk who lived during the final years of the Romanov dynasty in Russia. Rasputin, also known as the 'mad monk', is believed to have influenced the king and the royal family during the last years of the reign of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II. However, he is also described as a blessed dharma tyrant and monk, including the ability to heal by psychologists.
Life
* * * * * *
Born in a peasant family in the village of Pokrovasko in Siberia, Rasputin began schooling but failed to learn to read and write. He later tried to become a monk in the Russian Orthodox Church, but at the age of nineteen he left the monastery and returned home. He then gave birth to three children and one child. After a long absence, Rasputin moved around Greece and the Middle East. He claimed various kinds of spiritual doctrines and lived with the contributions made through their practice. Rasputin disguised himself as a futurist.
He arrived in St. Petersburg in 1903 and met King Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra Fedorovna. When prince Alexis, a hemophilia sufferer, arrived in critical condition in 1908, he became a member of the royal court, believing that Rasputin was successful in stopping the bleeding. The Emperor referred to Rasputin as our friend and holy man. Rasputin was influenced by Alexandra Ranji both on a personal and political level. The emperor and his wife saw him as a man of God and a prophet. The queen even believed that God was speaking to her through Rasputin.
In the midst of the First World War, when the emperor took over the military leadership, the Rasputin regime, through Ranji, significantly influenced Rasputin's rule, thus gaining the hostility of many nobles.
The end

Rasputin's life story and the background of his death are full of mysteries. He was murdered. Some of the elite of Russian society thought the monk's influence with Ranji Alexandra had grown so dangerous to the nation that he was assassinated at Yusapov's mansion in Petersburg, led by Felix Yusapov. Rasputin was summoned to a banquet at home and given poisonous cakes and alcohol, but when they were too late, he was shot and thrown into the river. Three days later the corpse was found in the snow. At the end of the investigation the perpetrators were charged with murder and the Emperor ordered them to be expelled from the city. Although Rasputin's assassination was said to have been motivated by patriotism, the act of private law enforcement, based on his own judgment, significantly reduced the emperor's impression.
Some believe that the murder of Rasputin as a result of his indignation and the resulting fury caused the Romanov dynasty, leading to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. Contemporaries on the Rasputin are contradictory. While some saw Rasputin as a Yogi and Prophet, he portrayed him as an evil hypocrite. Available accounts of the Rasputin rely on fictitious reminiscences, stories, and fables, and it is difficult to find a true picture of his life and influence. It is impossible to decide whether he was a misunderstood saint or a clever sinner
