Grigory Efimovich Rasputin is perhaps the most amazing person born on Russian soil. Not a single famous tsar, commander, scientist, statesman in Russia had the popularity, fame and influence that this semi-literate man from the Urals gained. His influence on the royal family, his fame as a soothsayer and healer, and finally his terrible and mysterious death are still the subject of much debate. Who was this man? What force acted? In this book, Rasputin was first considered in the light of the Bible - a book that Grigory Efimovich himself loved and knew well.
