Rasputin's dark secrets, from the Siberian boy with visions to the night at the Yusupov palace. Poison could not kill him, bullets could not stop him, and his body vanished beneath a frozen river, or so the legend says. We uncover ten dark secrets of Grigori Rasputin: the pilgrim who was never a monk, the hemophiliac heir he seemed to soothe, the scandals after dark, his wartime influence, the rumours that poisoned the Romanovs, the 1914 attack, the forensic truth from the river, and the prophecy and the daughter who became a lion tamer. Where a story is disputed or can't be verified, we say so.
