He didn’t shower. He smelled like animals. His beard was crusted with food.
Still, Russia’s hottest women fought to sleep with him.
Here’s the wild truth about Grigori Rasputin and why they worshipped him:
Grigori Rasputin came into the world in 1869 in a tiny Siberian village called Pokrovskoye.
Total backwater.
His family were peasants, scraping by on a muddy farm. He didn’t learn to read or write.
Ever. As a kid, he was just another dirty face in the snow, stealing to eat and running wild.
But even then, people said he had a weird spark. Like he could see through you.
That spark took him from nothing to controlling an empire.
When he was 18, Rasputin got mixed up with this strange group called the Khlysty.
They believed you had to sin big to get close to God. Sex, drinking, all of it.
He loved that idea. Started calling himself a holy man, a “starets.” Wandered around barefoot, preaching to anyone who’d listen.
People thought he was nuts, but women started following him. His weird energy pulled them in.

At 19, he married a local girl named Proskovya. Had four kids with her. She stuck by him no matter what.
Even when he slept with half of Russia, she didn’t blink. Said it was his “holy mission.”
Most guys would kill for a wife that chill. Rasputin just kept doing his thing, leaving her behind to chase his wild life.

He left his family to go on these long trips. Walked to holy spots like Jerusalem and Mount Athos in Greece. Lived off handouts.
Grew his beard long and matted. Smelled like a barn. But every step built his rep.
People started whispering about this crazy monk who could heal and see the future.
That buzz carried him all the way to the big city.
In 1903, Rasputin rolled into St. Petersburg. The capital.
Full of rich people and power. He didn’t fit in. Looked like a bum next to their fancy suits.
But his freaky vibe got him noticed. Church leaders and nobles invited him to their parties.
Two years later, in 1905, he met the Tsar and Tsarina. That’s when everything blew up.
The Tsar’s son, Alexei, had hemophilia. Bad bleeding disease. Doctors couldn’t fix him. Tsarina Alexandra was losing her mind over it.
Rasputin showed up, prayed over the kid, and somehow the bleeding stopped. No one knows how. Maybe luck, maybe hypnosis.
Didn’t matter.
The Tsarina called him a miracle worker. From then on, he was untouchable in their eyes.

Rasputin didn’t chase girls. They chased him. Rich ladies, maids, even nuns.
They’d wait outside his place, begging to see him. Sent him letters dripping with obsession. Some drew naked pictures of themselves.
One woman kept a lock of his nasty hair like a trophy. He’d sit there, calm as hell, while they lost their minds. Didn’t lift a finger.
They did all the work.
He had this twisted line: “Sin with me, and God will love you more.”
Sounds insane, but women bought it.
He’d sleep with them and say it was “purifying their soul.”
Even husbands didn’t care — they thought it was holy too.
He flipped their whole world upside down and made it feel right.
Picture this: greasy beard, stained robes, fingernails caked with dirt.
He stank so bad people gagged. But he walked in like he owned the place.
Didn’t bow to anyone. That raw confidence made women weak.
They didn’t care about his smell — they cared about his swagger.
Rasputin lived on the edge. Got stabbed in the gut by a crazy ex-follower in 1914. Survived. Kept going.
Later, enemies tried to kill him over and over. Poison. Bullets.
He was a walking target.
Women didn’t run from that — they ran toward it. Danger gets them hooked.

Most guys yap to impress. Not Rasputin. He’d sit there, quiet, staring with those wild eyes. Barely said a word.
When he did talk, it was slow and deep.
Made women lean in, desperate to hear him.
Less noise, more power.
He’d look at a girl and say, “You’re different. God picked you.”
Didn’t matter if she was a princess or a peasant. She’d melt. Felt seen for the first time.
He played that card over and over, and it worked every damn time.

By 1915, the Tsar was off fighting World War I. Rasputin stayed back with Tsarina Alexandra.
She listened to everything he said. He picked who got big jobs in the government. Pissed off the nobles, but he didn’t care.
Women in power trusted him blind. That’s real game.
He drank like a fish. Threw wild nights with music, booze, and women.
People saw him stumbling around drunk, groping whoever was close. Scandal after scandal.
But it only made him bigger. Women loved the chaos — it was proof he didn’t play by rules.
December 1916. A group of nobles decided he had to go. Invited him over, fed him poison-laced cakes.
Didn’t work. Shot him in the chest. Still alive.
Shot him again. Dumped him in a freezing river.
Found him dead later, lungs full of water. Even his death was epic. That’s why his name still echoes.
