Rasputin"s life is amazing. He was one of the most striking phenomena of modern history. His life resembles a gloomy fairy tale. The dark, uneducated peasant from the Siberian hinterland heard the voice of the Lord and, in search of true faith, hit the road that for many years drove him through the vast expanses of Russia and ended in the royal palace. Miraculously, he managed to save the life of the heir to the throne, but his enormous influence on the king and the queen angered the rich and possessing power. They lured him into a trap and killed him. Many believed that the saint foresaw his death and predicted that if something happens to him, the king would lose the throne.
