Grigori Rasputin

“	In 1916, the bloated castrated body of a man was dragged from the freezing waters of the Neva River in St. Petersburg. Almost beyond recognition, it was later identified as that of the most notorious monk in history. To his enemies Grigori Rasputin was the incarnation of evil; he destroyed anyone who dared to cross his path to power. Implicated in murder, corruption and the eventual destruction and execution of the Romanov royal family, Rasputin was instrumental in wiping out the 300 year old dynasty changing the history of Russia forever.	„
