~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "It is still not known with any certainty when Rasputin was born, and all the books which deal with him and his career give differing dates; not even his biographers ? and there have been many ? have been able to agree. The closest one can come with certainty is sometimes between the years 1863 and 1873." (Heinz Liepman, Rasputin and the Fall of Imperial Russia, 21) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Rasputin was also known as the Mad Monk, although he was not actually a monk, but a starets (???????), or religious pilgrim. He was believed to have been a psychic and faith healer. He can be considered one of the more controversial characters in 20th century history, although Rasputin is viewed by most historians today as a scapegoat. He played a small but extremely pivotal role in the downfall of the Romanov dynasty that finally led to Bolshevik victory and the establishment of the Soviet Union. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Rasputin played an important role in the lives of the Tsar Nikolas II, his wife the Tsarina Alexandra, and their only son the Tsarevich Alexei, who suffered from hemophilia. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
