Grigori Rasputin was unique compared to other leaders of the Russian Revolution; Rasputin was known as the “Holy Man” because of his healing powers. Many people believed that Rasputin possessed mystical abilities to heal the sick and injured. Rasputin's healing powers made him known to the Russian court when Rasputin supposedly helped cure the Tsar and Tsarina Alexei's son who was a hemophiliac. Rasputin also had the ability to know what others thought and to cure people in conditions impossible for a doctor to cure during the time period. Grigori Rasputin could also predict future events involving the Tsar and his family. The Russian people thought that the Tsar and his family relied on Rasputin's strange decisions for most problems that came the Tsar's way, this diminished the Tsar's reputation as a strong leader. (“Rasputin”). Grigori Rasputin, whose full name is Grigori Yelfimovich Rasputin, was born on January 10, 1869 in Pokrovskoye, a small village in Siberia. Rasputin was born into a poor peasant family and had two older siblings: a sister, Maria, and a brother, Dmitri. Maria was believed to be suffering from epilepsy and ended up drowning in a river and Dmitri died of pneumonia. The deaths of both of Rasputin's brothers had greatly affected Rasputin's life, which influenced Rasputin to name his children after his brothers. Rasputin married at the age of nineteen to Proskovia Fyodoronva, with whom he had four children. Rasputin ended up leaving his wife and traveled to Greece and Jerusalem where Rasputin gained a reputation as a holy man. (“Grigory Rasputin”) In Rasputin's early days he had very little education, Rasputin left school at the age of eight and was unable to read and write. Grigori Rasputin found himself at the Verkhoturye… in the middle of the paper… the family will no longer exist,” he told the royal court. Rasputin died of hypothermia when he was thrown into the frozen river on December 16 and 17, 1916. Rasputin's arms were found in an upright position, indicating that Rasputin had freed himself from his bonds and attempted to claw his way out of the ice. (History of Russia)The trial was canceled because the conspirators were members of the aristocracy, so they were never convicted and instead were exiled. This did not please the peasants, who were dissatisfied with their monarch after the disastrous military exploits that cost 3.3 million Russian lives. Three months after Rasputin's death, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia was forced to resign from office within a year. Nicholas II, Nicholas' wife, son and four daughters were murdered along with the family chef and lady-in-waiting.
