Rasputin (1996)

Actors

Plot
In 1910s Russia, Tsar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra find their son Alexei, sole heir to the Romanov dynasty, suffering from hemophelia and conventional medicine failing to help him. Alexandra looks into finding holistic treatment and finds Father Grigori Rasputin, a destitute monk who claims he had a vision from the Virgin Mary telling him that the Tsar needed him. Though Nicholas and the royal doctor are both skeptical of Rasputin's alleged healing abilities, young Alexei quickly bonds with the charleton/prophet, so he remains in the Royal Court. But Rasputin's constant boozing and womanizing angers the aristocracy and worsens the already unstable tensions between Nicholas and his subjects. With the seeds of revolution brewing, it becomes increasingly apparent that a bad end awaits for the entire Royal Family.

Alexei: God help me.::Tsarina Alexandra: He will... he will.

We were soaked all over. And how we never ever wanted to leave... we are locked in, the key has been lost and now we must stay there forever. [they kiss]

Grigori Rasputin: The sea brings comfort, and the waves they talk. The sunshines on the water as it gently rises. You can see the face of God when you look at the sun. Your soul forgets everything as you wake from the dreams of life's worries. For the joy lifts your heart, and your soul sees the wisdom of life, and beauty. Indescribable beauty. Is the pain gone?::Alexei: Yes.

Agoniya (1981)

Actors

Plot
Russia, 1916. Be it by craft or madness, Rasputin exercises power over the indecisive Nicholas, and the religious Czarina worships the Siberian as God. He manipulates the Czar in his relations with the Duma and influences the choice of a new premier. Rasputin assaults a baroness; her husband is jailed for defending her, and she must offer sexual favors to Rasputin to save her husband. The Czar finally orders Rasputin from St. Petersburg, but somehow he enters the palace and, in a disheveled trance, convinces the Czar to make a disastrous change in war strategy. A cadre of nobles take matters into their own hands and arrange a last dinner party for the interloping monk.

Film Footage of Maria Rasputin, Daughter of Grigori Rasputin

Updated: 10 Sep 2013

Maria Rasputin (1898-1977) was the daughter of famed monk, mystic and faith healer, Gregori Rasputin, who had such fatal influence over Tsar Nicholas II and more particularly his wife, Tsaritsa Alexandra Feodorovna. After Rasputin was assassinated in 1916 by Prince Felix Yusupov and his collaborators (see upload on this channel 'Prince Felix Yusupov and Princess Irina Alexandrovna On The Murder of Rasputin in 1916'), Maria married Boris Soloviev, son of Nikolai Soloviev, the Treasurer of the Holy Synod and one of her father's admirers. After the revolution of 1917, the couple escaped first to Bucharest in Romania where Maria worked as a cabaret dancer, and then to Paris where this somewhat ever resourceful woman worked as a governess to help support two daughters. She later joined Ringling Brothers Circus and toured Europe and America in the 1930s as an animal trainer or 'Dompteur de Cirque', billed as 'the daughter of the famous mad monk whose feats in Russia astonished the world'. She was mauled by a bear in Indiana, but stayed with the circus till it reached Miami. During World War Two, Maria was riveter in a defence shipyard. She married Gregory Bernadsky in 1940 and became a US citizen in 1945. During the last years of her life she lived in Los Angeles, California. With such a life, I cannot imagine why no film of Maria Rasputin's life has been made! This footage is in two parts. Firstly we see Maria in a cobbled courtyard, being saluted by a man in livery. And then we see her working for the circus - in the Big Top training what seem to be Shetland ponies. The film ends with a wonderful close-up of the trainer in traditional Russian costume and headdress. Enjoy!

Prince Felix Yusupov and Princess Irina Alexandrovna On The Murder of Rasputin in 1916

Order: Reorder
Duration: 2:14
Updated: 10 Sep 2013

This is a fascinating interview conducted on French television in 1967. The couple being interviewed are Prince Felix Yusupov (1887-1967) and his wife Princess Irina Alexandrovna (1895-1970), niece of the last Tzar of Russia, Nicholas the Second. The topic of the interview is the part by the prince played in the murder in 1916 of the monk Grigori Rasputin, the faith healer who it seemed influenced decisions of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsaritsa Alexandra Feodorovna. The murder took place in the Yusupov family's Moika Palace in Saint Petersburg and the participants were a group of nobles, led by the prince and the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, and the right-wing politician Vladimir Purishkevich. Rasputin was lured into the palace with the intimation that the princess would be present though in fact she was in the Crimea at the time. There are various accounts of what happened next, with some reflective comment from his daughter Maria, the subject of a separate upload on this channel. The most extended and mythic version of events has the monk led down to a cellar where there was an attempt to kill him with cyanide-laiden cakes and wine. When this was unsuccessful - or seemed to be too prolonged - he was shot a number of times. The conspirators then left but Prince Felix Yusupov had forgotten his coat and returned to the cellar to retrieve it. Rasputin struggled to his feet and attempted to strangle the prince. The other conspirators, arriving on the scene, shot the monk again and, when this did not seem entirely successful, finally clubbed him to death. The body was then thrown into the Neva River from the bridge to Krestovsky island. This is a translation into English of this 1967 interview in French: Interviewer: Prince Felix Yusupov, you killed Rasputin? Prince: Yes Interviewer: How old are you prince? Prince: Nearly eighty Interviewer: How old were you when you killed Rasputin? Prince: Twenty-nine Interviewer: Prince, are you part of the Imperial Russian family? Prince: No, but my wife is the niece of the Emperor Nicholas the Second Interviewer: Princess, were you aware of the plan of your husband? Princess: Yes, I was aware of it. Interviewer: And did you approve? Princess: Yes. Interviewer: Princess, we have said - we have repeated, that you had been in (unclear) Rasputin to his home the night of the murder? Is that true? Princess: It is not at all true. Interviewer: Why? Princess: Because I was not there, I was (unclear). Interviewer: Prince, in the evening of your life, when you think about Rasputin again, what sentiment comes to you at the thought of him? Prince: Disgust. Interviewer: Did you have a personal interest in the murder of Rasputin? Prince: None. Interviewer: Prince, in identical circumstances, if you had to make the same decision, would you do again what you did then? Prince: Yes. Interviewer: All of your life you have refused to let anyone tell your story. The films that have been made about Rasputin have been made without your (approval). And now, for the first time you have authorized our film. And for the first time, you appear before the camera. Prince Yusupov, why? Prince: Because the other films did not tell the true story. Interviewer: The man who has just spoken to you, the man who killed Rasputin, that man will now revisit his memories. Enjoy!
