Rasputin
Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin (1872-1916) was
so mysterious and so evil that he ended up to be even a very
interested and fascinating subject to study and analyze. He was a
poor and ignorant, and he embraced a sect which allowed him the
most corrupted and scandalous conduct. In spite of this all, he
managed to conquer the Tsar's and Tsarina's trust, thanks to his
presumed ability as a mystic healer. Since he was the only one
who managed to stem the Tsar's son's loss of blood (the boy
suffered from haemophilia), the Tsarina was extremely grateful to
him till the end. Rasputin became the most powerful person in
Russia, nobody could even say anything about his corrupted
behaviour. He had complete control on every Tsar's decision. He
was finally murdered by a group of court conspirators: outraged
Nicholas and Alexandra punished all of them.
