Rasputin rarely changed clothes, bathed, shaved, or cut his hair. He muttered his “prayers” ad nauseam and was rather impolite. He lived in a brothel, not an “apartment”. He is documented to have had a disproportionate sized sex organ and may well have attracted attention with his hideously deviant behavior, but he could neither be described in our time nor in his as being “charming”. He fooled no one with any brains, though he was undoubtedly charismatic. He was hated in the Duma, in the press, and by the people. Only the extreme religious vagabond fanatics or low class whores would have gone to any of his “parties”. The only people he had to hypnotize were the royal family and he wandered along at exactly the right time to do so.

Actually the stories told on Rasputin differ so dramatically, I dont know what is real. Many people under investigation after the tzar fell. Would say Rasputin had bad teeth, smelled terrible, and was short. Many others would give an account of him being tall, broad shouldered, and had pearly white teeth. I would agree that he was hated in the duma, the press, and by a lot of nobles. I dont know what happened really surrounding Rasputin. I do believe he was a figure in the demise of Imperial Russia though. The Imperials where pretty eccentric, Russia at that time was very eccentric. Many official reports, say rasputin had people waiting at his apartment, from dawn to dusk. When the cops found him in the river, the surrounding villages citizens came rushing to get the water. Believing it had mystical properties. I believe Rasputin was great deal more then a vagabond, know nothing. Not that he is to be respected. I just think his life is still a mystery.
