I really think Rasputin lucked out, in that being remembered by history as some species of giant unkillable sex wizard is something most of us can only fruitlessly aspire to.
He didn’t luck out, he worked hard for that rep
he really didn’t though
he was just kind of a garden-variety creep, but the rumor mill did all the work for him and now he’s a banger disco song
to be fair, neither could Rasputin. Alexei very much continued to have haemophilia.
isn’t the current theory that he seemed to heal faster and have more spoons when Rasputin was around because Rasputin wouldn’t let the doctors give him aspirin, a blood thinner?
Ra Ra Rasputin Russia’s wellness scamming fiend
Fun fact: the conspirator who’d been made responsible for preparing the poison for Rasputin, Stanislaus de Lazovert, was a medical intern who’d studied under the exact same doctor who kept trying to treat Tsarevich Alexei’s hemophilia with aspirin.
Like, I feel like this should be taken into account when evaluating reports of Rasputin’s miraculous immunity to poison.
Did the guy who shot him also study under that doctor?
No, Felix Yusupov was just a useless nerd who thought he knew how murder worked because he’d read a book.
Based on the available historical evidence, the most likely sequence of events is as follows:
The conspirators attempt to kill Rasputin with poison-laced cakes, but fail; it’s unknown whether this is because de Lazovert fucked up the poison, because Rasputin – who had a well-known dislike of sweets – didn’t go in on the cakes as heavily as they expected, or just because a poisoned cake is a really stupid idea.
Seeing that the poison has failed, Yusupov gets Rasputin alone for a moment and shoots him once in the chest, causing him to fall senseless to the floor. Because he’s a useless nerd who thinks he knows how murder works because he read a book, Yusupov is unaware that a single handgun shot is very unlikely to be immediately fatal, and neglects to finish Rasputin off, instead leaving the room to confer with his fellow conspirators.
When the conspirators return to retrieve Rasputin’s body, he recovers from the shock of the initial gunshot and attacks them. Following some general panic, a third conspirator, Vladimir Purishkevich, opens up guns blazing; Purishkevich manages to miss several times in spite of being at point-blank range, but eventually strikes Rasputin in the head, killing him instantly.
The conspirators beat the shit out of Rasputin’s body just to be sure, then proceed to make a complete clownshow out of disposing of the corpse; the remainder of Rasputin’s injuries are sustained postmortem.
Pretty much everything else about Rasputin’s miraculous invincibility is invented whole cloth, much of it by Yusupov himself in order to build himself up in his own published memoirs.
(As icing on the incompetently poisoned cake, elements of Yusupov’s memoirs were later incorporated into the 1932 film Rasputin and the Empress, which led to Yusupov suing MGM Studios for libel because the film strongly implies that Rasputin was fucking Yusupov’s wife. The precedent set by that lawsuit is the reason those “similarities to any real person living or dead are coincidental” disclaimers exist.)
That last fact took me off at the knees.
Billy Connolly did a bit about the death of Rasputin on Head of the Class, and damn if I can find a copy of it online.
But imagine Billy Connolly going on a rant about how hard they tried to kill Rasputin, with annoying reaction shots of Arvid spliced in, and you’ll probably get close to the experience.
I swear I thought Rasputin was the gnome troll dude in children’s fairy tales who forced a princess to spin yarn in a shed or something.
no, that’s rumpelstiltsken, rasputin is the guy from that one shakespeare play about that couple whose parents hate eachother and then they both die
No, that’s Romeo. Rasputin is that girl who sang Umbrella.
honestly no matter how faithfully you adapt les miserables to stage or screen, nothing can really quite replicate the effect of hugo being like “so valjean got to this convent…. btw, just briefly, i don’t normally do this but bc it’s relevant, im gonna take 45 pages to tell u the history of the convent, all the significant nuns & their daily routines, & this is my opinion of organised religion in general - it fucking blows! - do you believe in god btw? we actually are god. philosophy and religion are both right. actually, convents are quite noble sometimes when u think about it. idk, anyway, as i was saying valjean got there” and u know he’s gonna do t again on some other topic in like 6 pages time
hey. not to harp on a point. and i’m aware it’s taking me a very long time to read this book. but i cannot believe the sheer brass fucking balls on this man
you’re so right victor. we don’t have time to go into the intricacies of what happened in the battle or whatever, or give any detail abt the deaths of 4 significant characters. this isn’t one of those epics! your readers have places to be! after all the very exciting sewer section is coming up in just a few pages so why waste words here?
very cool how the gender binary in the emerging trad terf synthesis is like, there are two genders, the one that does bad things and the one that bad things are done to. the only thing in the world is immorality and it flows from unexperiencing agents to unacting experiencers.
which naturally appeals to people who would like to be perceived as inherently lacking the capacity for immorality. for whatever reason
anyway remember bell hooks’s very cogent critique of second-wave feminist organizing in ‘sisterhood: solidarity between women’ where she argues that by “bonding as ‘victims’, white women’s liberationists were not required to assume responsibility for confronting the complexity of their own experience … Identifying as ‘victims’, they could abdicate responsibility for their role in the maintenance and perpetuation of sexism, racism, and classism.” it’s not by accident that terf gender essentialism dovetails so much with other biological-determinist & essentialist assumptions including Extremely Racist Ones

Rocco Morabito's daughters remember how you could smell the newsprint on him when he came home from working at his old Jacksonville Journal.
J.D. Thompson and Randall Champion stayed friends the rest of their lives. Rocco Morabito died in 2009 at 88, a newspaperman, photographer, and father who gave his long career to the Jacksonville Journal. This photo won him a Pulitzer. This image is a moment of intersection in three unique lives that one man made immortal with a Rolleiflex in 1967.
