Ra-Ra-Rasputin

This image dates to around 1910 and shows Grigori Rasputin, a Siberian mystic who became well-known in Russia before the 1917 revolution as a result of his connections to the elite. Due to criticism of his influence over both Nicholas the Tzar and Alexandra, the Tzar’s wife, he was ultimately made a scapegoat and assassinated in 1916.
