Today’s the birthday of Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin (22 January 1869 – 29 or 30 December 1916) a Russian Orthodox Christian and mystic. Some people called Rasputin the "Mad Monk", while others considered him a "strannik" (or religious pilgrim), believing him to be a psychic and faith healer. Rasputin was employed by Tsar Nicholas II and Alexandra as a healer for their only son, Tsarevich Alexei, who suffered from hemophilia, and became an influential figure in the later years of the Tsar's reign. It has been argued that Rasputin helped to discredit the tsarist government, leading to the fall of the Romanov dynasty in 1917. Contemporary opinions saw Rasputin variously as a saintly mystic, visionary, healer and prophet or, on the contrary, as a debauched religious charlatan.
