I think history has unfairly demonised him. By all accounts he could heal the sick with his faith and could calm wild beasts with a command. He could stave off the effects of haemophilia from the Tzar's heir and awoke the Tzarina's cousin from a coma.
He could also drink wine and spirits in quantities that should have proved fatal.
He did have many unusual habits - he bathed only once a year and walked from Siberia to Greece and back.
He was part of a holy order of monks who had the following belief:
- in order to go to heaven one must repent
- to repent one must sin
- to be holy one must sin and repent often
And as such he often did carnal acts. Apparently he was very good at them by all accounts.
Here is a great picture of the preserved remains of Rasputin's body:

you can see how impressive he was in this department!
Anyway I think Rasputin was nowhere near the monster history has claimed he was. I think he was a decent chap but was a poor prime minister, an alcoholic and a womaniser.

"Rasputin" is Russian for "debauchee". His actual name was Gregori Efimovish Novich. See any biographies written before the '50s. He was barely literate, and, by contemporary accounts, he made sexual advances to any woman he thought he could get away so to do. He was also a notorious drunk, and was, again by contemporary accounts, murdered at a drinking party where he was making out with a guy in drag. Decide for yourself.

I might desire to pass with b, different than that i'm thinking what number circumstances Jaclyn has surpassed out below the impact of alcohol on spring wreck and if she even is conscious what number men have fukced her. you won't be able to get hammered off 2 wine glasses, subsequently the girl is on the wild area. Sean may well be the single feeling sheepish top approximately now. i do no longer understand Jaclyn, possibly, so her habit does not influence my dating with Sean. Why might I delight in observing the breasts of my buddy's spouse? are you able to truly call the act harmless, provided that the girl is a mom? the two d and e are out of the question. next ingredient, Scott would be attempting the wacko woman. Sean will think of what the fukc, and that all of them connect a swingers club.

Actually, his mother really thought so, and he had a neighbor who couldn't believe what she read in the papers about him.

I don't think he was particularly nice but he was certainly very intelligent!
