Rasputin was born a peasent in a small village called Pokrovskoye, near the Tura River on January 22nd in 1869. He had two siblings that we know of, a younger sister, named Maria and an older brother, named Dimitri. One day when Rasputin and Dimitri were playing near the pond Dimitri fell in and Rasputin jumped in, attempting to save him, but they were both pulled out by a passerby. Dimitri died of Pnemonia. His younger sister, Maria, was epilectic. She has an epilectic attack, fell in the river, and drowned. Rasputin married Praskovia Fyodorovna Dubrovina in 1889. Later, when Rasputin had children, he named two of his children after his dead siblings. He also had a third child and one illegitimate child.
When Rasputin was 18 he spent 3 months in Verkhoturye Monastery which was a important time for the hrowth of his Faith. He also met a Holy man who was said to have influenced his life named Makariy. Rasputin was reported to have seen the Mother of God.
He was murdered in December 29, 1914 by the Prince Felix Yusupov and the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich. First they put poisen in his drink and in the food he ate, but this did not seem to affect him. So then Prince Felix Yusupov and the Grand Duke Dimitri Pavlovich shot him, but he still lived so they bound him and threw him in the water through a hole in the ice where he then died.
