"Die Hard" Rasputin: 100 Years Later The Mystic's Murder Still Mystifies

In the 100 years since controversial mystic and badass mofo Grigory Rasputin was poisoned, shot, beaten, and thrown into freezing waters by a group of aristocrats, the legend of Russia’s “Mad Monk” has only spread, inspiring films, books, operas, a disco song, and even his own beer, Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout.

Described by early biographers as “The Saint Who Sinned” and “The Holy Devil,” he remains a difficult man to define. He spent less than a decade in public life, was barely literate, and published only two works.

Historians are still divided over his murder and influence on the Tsar’s family. Even within the Russian Orthodox Church, the debate continues: Was Rasputin a charlatan, a holy man, the czarina’s secret lover, Satan himself, or just a simple Siberian peasant?

Above all, one question refuses to rest: What exactly happened to Rasputin in the early hours of December 30, 1916? FULL STORY
