This little book is just an attempt, based on printed sources, to convey to non-Russian readers an impression of one of history’s most remarkable men. More than just an impression, by the nature of its subject, it cannot be; for, so far as the author was able to discover, no biography exists, even in Russian. Contents: Rasputin’s origin and personality; Rasputin’s power; what has been written and spoken about Rasputin; previous attempts to murder Rasputin; the murder; after the murder.
