WHO IS RASPUTIN

A biography documentary, The Bad Monk, was very gripping and interesting. It tells a story of an unusual doctor, Rasputin. Nevertheless, he is considered the most devilish man in the Russian history. This story happened over two hundred years ago. He had both powers and influence, from curing people and animals to a consultant in the royal family. However, many people did not like him. His life had different stages. I am going to divide his life to three stages; his early years, middle years, and last years.

Rasputin’s early years began when he was born in 1869 in Siberia. He was raised like a normal child, working in fields and taking care of cattle. At that time, people began noticing that Rasputin had something special hidden within him, he was gifted the power on healing. This gift led the villagers to bring their animals to him to cure or bless them.

In his middle years, Rasputin was very sexuality active. Even though, he got married, he was still a playboy which led his wife to say that he was a man for more than one woman. Despite of his problems, he had three children from his wife. Because of his behavior, his family didn’t accept him so he had to leave the village. Quickly, he moved to be among high society level. He met the royal family of Russia, Zare Nicolas and his wife Dozalin Alexandra, but they didn’t know that this meeting would lead to their doom. During that time, the royal family was hiding a secret; their son was fighting a deadly disease, hemophilia. The son become very sick and no body could treat or even help him. This changed when Rasputin helped him the son. This paved the way for him to become a consultant to the queen, and the queen got emotionally attached to him.

In his last years, Rasputin’s reputation became so bad that the royal family decided to kill him. However, killing him wasn’t as easy as they thought. They desperately tried several times by several ways, but he did not die. The first time was in a train by his x-lover, she stabbed him thinking that he would die. The second time was by a prince from the royal family, but Rasputin did not die. In the third time, Rasputin died. The royal family thrown him into a river which caused him to freeze and die. Before his death, Rasputin wrote a letter telling that if he got killed by the royal family, the royal family would die within two years. It was only 14 months later, where the Zare, and all the royal family including their children were tragically killed.
