Though not exactly a “forgotten” life, definitely a fascinating one.

That was very interesting. I never knew his entire back story. Mainly how he came into power and was killed. You should keep up the good work!

That's lovely! Your mother had good choice! Thank you to her also! Loved the story and your narration, as always! Interesting story, he looks like a wizard to me! Lol Thank you so much.

I've heard this story many times and I've studied it but I never thought about them giving their son aspirin. That makes perfect sense first time I've heard of it. You've got a good thing going I believe you can reach a big number of subscribers. 💯👍

omg thank you! I JUST asked another channel to do one on Rasputin, but they didnt .. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

A Russian Prince who taught Russian at a very good university once told me the word Rasputin comes from a weather condition that makes Russian roads very difficult to drive on because the haze makes them hard to see and mysterious. This is a good piece on Gregory Effimovich.

I have always been fascinated by the story of Rasputin. Great report.

[LookingUpPassingThrough]

Had heard of Rasputin's story many times over; however, you shed light on new information on his life. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

[MooMoo-bzys]

I’m glad you listened to your mother! You just taught me something that my high school and college classes did not. A well known story is worth repeating; that’s how we learn. Thank you!

[dancingfirefly]

This has always interested me. You did a good job, as always, of giving us a short, but excellent, history lesson. Kudos to Mom for suggesting this!

That's so sweet you did this for your mom. I knew a lot about Rasputin but never heard the aspirin theory before. Very interesting. Just goes to show how 1 con man can bring down a government. wink wink
