The scruffy Siberian “holy man” who somehow hypnotized the Russian royal family, partied like it was 1916, and refused to die no matter how many times people tried to kill him.

From faith healer to political puppet master, Rasputin’s rise was as wild as his reputation—whispers of orgies, prophecies, and straight-up witchy vibes had the press losing their minds. He became the scandal of St. Petersburg, the “unkillable monk” who might’ve cursed an entire dynasty.

This episode is dripping with imperial tea: poison plots, royal panic, murder attempts, and the downfall of the Romanovs—all starring the most chaotic man in history.
