On a night in 1916, Russian aristocrats set a plot of assassination into motion. If all went as planned, a man would be dead by morning, though others had already tried and failed. The monarchy was on the brink of collapse, and they believed this man was the single cause of it all. Who was he, and why was he to blame for the fate of an empire? Eden Girma explores the life of the notorious Rasputin.

Everybody gangsta till the man you “poisoned” says “I feel fine”
-
"There lived a certain man in Russia long ago..."
-
gets poisoned, stabbed and shot Rasputin : "Tis but a scratch!"
-
1:33 The cute sun stops smiling 😂 These guys have lot of fun while making the videos
-
The best part about the story is that the autopsy performed on the body showed that he had DROWNED. He didn't even die from the gunshot
-
I read once that when they found Rasputin’s body in the river they discovered that it had water in his lungs, which means that he was still alive and tried to catch some air despite being shot in the forehead.
-
Rasputin's prophecy about his death was actually quite accurate. He wrote a letter to the tsar in 1916 which said that if he was killed by peasants, the royal family would be fine, but if he was killed by the nobles, the royal family would not last more than 2 years. He was assassinated by a distant member of the royal family near the end of 1916 and in 1918, the entire family of the Tsar (the tsar, his wife, and children) were executed

Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it "There lived a certain man in Russia long ago, "
-
Rasputin never died they just took the "Ras" out of his name
-
Yoooo, this is crazy, they should make a song about him.
-
I think Rasputin's probably one of my favourite historical figures. He's just such an interesting guy. This video barely touches upon half of the weird stuff surrounding him. There's so many strange stories surrounding this guy, it's hard to seperate the fact from fiction.
-
Almost everyone in the comments is talking about the song. I have no complaints. I love this.
-
Is he the guy who could preach the Bible like a preacher full of ecstasy and fire, but also was the kind of teacher women would desire?
-
Rasputin: gets shot, poisoned, and stabbed. Rasputin: As you can see, I am not dead.
-
Don't mind me, just giving a like to all the comments I can find that reference the song
-
Rasputin: intake poison, gets shot in head twice and stomach, drowns Cause of his death: Hypothermia
-
They put poison in his wine. HE DRANK IT ALL AND SAID “ I feel fine”.
-
Anybody noticed the sun got sad when Rasputin reached St. Petersburg? 1:32
-
3:22 they really took "ladies-they just fell into his arms" to next level😂
-
TedEd: “But who was he?” Me: RA RA RASPUTIN
