In the final days of Imperial Russia, the most powerful man in the country was a wildly debauched insane monk called Gregor Rasputin. Having left a lonely monastery in Siberia, he made his way to Moscow where he used his bizarre mesmeric powers to hypnotise one of the Tsar`s ladies in waiting into injuring the young heir to the throne so he could affect what appeared to be a miraculous cure and inveigle his way into the Imperial Court where he became the sado-masochistic lover of the Empress Alexandra. His Machiavellian intrigues finally destroyed the mighty Romanoff Dynasty. His appetite for women, food and alcohol was legendary. He had bizarreparanormal powers, possibly given to him as the result of a pact with the Devil.

After a wild youth spent womanising, drinking and fighting he married at the age of 20 but after the death of his son he turned to religion as solace. Several authorities on Rasputin have noted that the young Rasputin had spent four months in a monastery before his marriage, but it was not until author Greg King obtained access to pre-revolutionary Russian records that the truth of the matter emerged. The young Rasputin had been found guilty of a minor theft and asked to be sent to the monastery as an alternative to prison. At the Verkhoturye monastery he encountered two heretical Russianreligious sects;. ...
