Grigori Rasputin
1869 – 1916 · Mystic of the Russian court
God has seen your tears and heard your prayers. Fear not, the child will not die.
Who he was
Grigori Rasputin was a Siberian peasant who wandered as a holy man before reaching St Petersburg. Presented to Tsar Nicholas II in 1905, he won the trust of the tsar and Empress Alexandra, who believed his prayers eased the bleeding of their son Alexei, ill with haemophilia.
His influence over the empress and the scandals around him alarmed the court during the First World War. In December 1916 a group of conspirators led by Prince Felix Yusupov killed him.
