Rare Pictures IV

I like very muchy all the Rasputin pics you posted, since I only knows a few of him...But in the first the bearded man doesn't seems to be "the mad Monk"...Or maybe he is and he looks too changed. And, oh, my! How FAT he is in the second one!

Aren't these Rasputin's children?

Aren't these Rasputin's children?

One of them is his daughter Maria, but the other may be her friend. I know I've seen that photo before, but I can't remember where to check the caption.

Please, don't say this one is not BEAUTIFUL!!!!:
 
P.S.. that one is my favourite IF color pic. comments...

Nena, these are astinishing! Thank you so much! I read somewhere on the net (one of these sites that comes and goes) that the two girls playing were indeed Maria Rasputin and Varvara, her sister.

As for the pic of Kolia...Oh; I got heartbroken when I read his comment! 

RealAnastasia.

It's a shame that Kolia never wrote a book about his memories with the Tsarevich. But in a way, I kind of respect his decision. He's truly the best friend of Alexei even long after he died.

Rasputin and ?:

Grigorii Rasputin, Bishop Hermogen (Dolganev) amd the monk Iliodor (Trufanov).

Perhaps it could be Matrena's sister Varvara, who was two years younger.

Nice pics., KarlandZita! 
Thank you Margarita!

It's a shame that Kolia never wrote a book about his memories with the Tsarevich.

Yes, Kolia never wrote any book or memories about Alexei, but I read interview on one russian web,and I can post full interview here:
I was a little boy, just 12 years old...I didn't know anything about people's evil.....We lived in Popov house, very close to Ipatiev house. In the middle of summer 1918, I was afraid, and I was preoccupied about Aleksei.I wanted to see him. And, I am sure, he wanted to see me. Until that sad 17th july 1918. My father, Gilliard, Gibbes and other...they knew everything, but I NOTHING....Something terrible was going to happen, but I didn't know what....In the last week of july 1918, I , my father, Gilliard, Gibbes,etc. entered at Ipatiev house.Terrible scene....House was in completelly chaos. Diaries, letters, albums, and others items was all around in house. 'But where is Leskela?'-I asked my father, but I he didn't answe me. Leskela's diary...was taken by one guard,I think his name was Nemetkin,I don't know. But Leonid Sednev....I saw him. He cried. His cried so aloud, so aloud!!!!!
'Papa, where is my Leskela?'-I cried.
'They killed him'-he cried
'Ho...how?'
'they killed tsar, tsarina, and GDs also.All are dead."-said my father.
"I don't understand','where...where are bones'
'We don't know, maybe we'll never discover them'
My world was destroyed.They destroyed Russia, no more illusions...I found Leskela's last letter written to me.Especially one sentence in that letter-'I hug you warmly'-made me so cry..I though 'And I hug you warmly,too, my dear friend, and my tsar...'
I was in shock.In latter years, I think just about him. 'Why did they killed you? In  USSR wassn't a little space for my Leskela......We'l be forever friends, my  dear tsesarevich....I want to see you just ONE more time, and I can die in peace......

So, I feel so sicked, while I wrote this sentences...It is so sad...True is so sad....What do you think about this interview? So sad..... R.I.P Kolia nd Aleksei, now you are finally together....

Ermakov's grave with note'killer':

Thank you Margarita!

Delighted to help. 

Ermakov's grave with note'killer':

Is there any information available when this photo of Ermakov's gravesite with the "addition" was taken?

Margarita 

Perhaps it could be Matrena's sister Varvara, who was two years younger.

Margarita 

I wondered about that too, but I'm fairly certain the first time I saw that photo it was captioned as Maria Rasputin and a friend. Unfortunately, since I can't remember where I initially found the photo, I have no way to verify that info.   All I know for sure is that I deliberately identified only Maria in my file name, which is usually an indicator to myself that I don't know who the other person is.

Perhaps it could be Matrena's sister Varvara, who was two years younger.

Captions can be wrong.

There does appear to be similarity between the two girls don't you agree?
