Rasputin's "Powers" and His Family Name.

[Candice]

So, what did they do with his body part? Did they cremate it along with the rest of him? If they didn't cremate his body where is it? Very curious, does anyone know what the answer is?

I always thought they buried it.

I was searching for info on Rasputin online and I found this website pertaining to the above subject:

BTW- The truth (IMHO) about Rasputin death and all is that Yusupov severed Rasputin's penis while he was still in the room where he was poisoned and shot and before he was thrown into the river. Someone among the conspirators then did as they wished with it after returning from the Volga. Occording to one source (I don't remember the name) A certain female wealthy aristocrat had possesion of it (though it has shriveled and turned the color of an over-ripe banana.) Where it went after that I don't know but I'm sure the large penis being shown at the Russian museum is falsified because the testicles are in tact. Yusupov would not have done that of course

Does anyone know where I can get ahold of a copy or internet site of Stalingrad Martha by Iliodor? Todd? Please reply

  I hope that you will enjoy reading the other posts here regarding Rasputin and his "little friend..."
 I am unfamiliar with the texts that you are looking for.

Good luck

Well who would have thought aspirins could be such troublemakers!

I'd never read this before, anywhere, how great of you to share this information!!
A part of the mystery of rasputin's healing powers is finally revealed, it seems. I knew there had to be some rational explanation, somehow I never quite believed that it was divine intervention

Yes!
  As Aspirin retards clotting this would be an especially difficult situation for a hemophiliac. Not being a hemophiliac I wonder if a diet rich in brocholli and vegetables with vitamin K could have helped Alexi?
  RE: Rasputin, I do think that his prayers were of comfort to Alix ...in her thoughts she had begun to see him almost as a good luck talisman ...and it can be very difficult to change such psychological habits ones they are set!
  I wonder what Sigmund Freud would have thought of Rasputin or of  Alix?

Sorry for the brief segway.

A little more info is needed here. First, Rasputin's autopsy said nothing about a "severed member" among the extensive other injuries it catalogued. It is a MYTH, LEGEND, but not true. Period.
Rasputin's body was exhumed from the unfinished church which was being built over his coffin by Alexandra and Vyroubova, but interrupted by the Revolution, and he was cremated. period.

No seque Rskkiya...you were on point.

Well firstly my name is Richard - surname is Cullen.  the evidence is overwhelming and it does re write history.  All you will see on timewatch is a flavour of what i and others found.

What surprises me is that no scientific logic has been applied to the murder before. having had access to GARF and the Political History archivesI am stunned taht no one has picked this up before.  even a re-examination of the autopsy carried out ten years ago buy Russia's top pathologist has received no publicity.

Hope you enjoy Friday

Regarding the 'icons', (of course they aren't icons), when I look at an icon, or am praying they always make you feel calm. Those pictures just give me the creeps, especially the one of him holding the tsesarevich-martyr. I would not want to condemn Rasputin, God will judge him, but I have sometimes wondered if the Tsaritsa-martyr thought he was a fool-for-Christ.

I heard several different stories about Rasputin. He was known to be an illiterate peasant from Siberia. Though he was described as a monk and a mystic he was also married and had a daughter. It was certainly true that he was by no means celibate or astetic.

One rather strange story, which I cannot confirm but heard from several Russian friends was that was said about him was that he was from a community of Gnostics in Siberia. Siberia had long been a place where obscure religious communities existed, from the ultra Orthodox Old Believers to the hedonistic Doukhobors. Being a Gnostic, Rasputin believed that one cannot be cured of sin unless one knows sin. For that reason he advocated drinking, fornication and drug use.

As far as his healing powers, they were well attested by many sources. He was also said to have been gifted with the gift of prophocy.

he was also married and had a daughter.

Rasputin had two daughters, Maria Grigorievna and Varvara Grigorievna.
