Rasputin, the Mad Monk Rasputin By Dan Kennedy Hello, and thank you for visiting my website. This Website was done for Professor Warmans History of Russia Class at Dana College , located in the town of Blair Nebraska. Well enough about me.
Lets get on with what everyone here really wants to know about.
Rasputin was born in a small village located in Western Siberia, sometime between the years of 1860 and 1873. There is no exact date of his birth because villages at the time were always pretty lax about exact dates. Most people put his exact date at 1864. At age eight a traumatic event occurred in Rasputins life, the death of his brother. Some say that this had a strong effect on his life.
