Mystic, healer, sinner, saint—Grigori Rasputin has been called many things. But who was the Mad Monk of Russia, really? From his rise in the royal court to his mysterious influence over the Romanovs, this episode explores how one man became a symbol of everything wrong in a crumbling empire—and how myth and reality collided in the final days of Tsarist Russia.
We really enjoyed revisiting this series and getting to implement the viewer feedback that Rob had previously only been able to address in Lies. Original Lies video here: https://youtu.be/-a4aptt3HTA

Better historical perspective than most Rasputin bio's.
YES LET'S GO MY FAV MY GOAT
please do a russian civil war after this.
Well if the account of the conspirators are correct Rasputin is competing with Malenia for difficulty to kill.
18:49 By God, it's Ilyador with the gold cross!
Rasputin is probably the WWI version of Diddy. Or should I say, Diddy is the modern day version of Rasputin…

RA-RA-RASPUTIN 🎶🎶🎶
This is rather more curated than my own recent lecture on the Mad Monk (whilst playing the Russian arc of Shadow Hearts: Covenant and drop-kicking Rasputin)
Fine work EH! But could have used more drop-kicks
