Profile
Rasputin was born in Pokrovskoye, Siberia around 1869. Born Grigory Yefimovich Novykh, he was given the name Rasputin, translated from Russian as "debauched one", for his tendency toward licentious behavior. After failing to become a monk, Rasputin became a wanderer and eventually entered the court of Czar Nicholas II because of his alleged healing powers.© 2012 A+E Networks. All rights reserved.
