Even later, he went further and said Jesus of seconds. He founded his own school and infiltrated the Romanov royal family to such an extent that they believed him to be a holy man. Just when he was playing with the members of the royal family, he began to influence and interfere in the political affairs of Russia. As it is said, the decisions of this person were another reason for the downfall of the Romanov family. For years, he claimed that there was a war between the forces of good and evil. Many priests believed that this person's power did not come from God at all, but he was really anti-God and anti-Christ. Part I: The Early Days Grigory Rasputin was born on January 21, 1869 in a village called Pokrovskoye in southern Siberia. In those years, Siberia was a place where Russian criminals were deported and worked in forced labor camps. In between, there were people who were exiled to Siberia because of their religious beliefs. That area is one of the coldest and hardest environment to live and survive. Rasputin's father was a peasant and a village postman, and before (Grigory) was born, his mother had given birth to seven more children. All of them died at birth or in childhood, and Grigory was the only child who survived the cold Siberian winter. In his childhood, he claimed that he could predict the future of the world and that angels would descend on him. He decided to do something to make the neighbors believe these claims. And he really did. For example, he healed a sick horse just by touching his body. Some of the villagers believed that the spirit of Jesus was formed in him, and some others said that this is the power of the devil and that the devil has dissolved in him. In his early 20s, it was proven that the second theory might be more true because he was showing negative behaviors. He was drunk all the time, he was stealing and his behavior was bothering the villagers. He was married at the age of 28 and had four children with his wife. We don't know much about his days, except that he was still addicted to alcohol, maybe the extreme cold of Siberia had no effect on this. Finally, the day comes when he steals a horse, but after stealing, he goes to a monastery and worships in that holy place for a few months to forgive his sins. There, the monks who were in the monastery asked him to change his path and turn to goodness. A man named (Makarij) found him a religious order and offered him to become a priest. It was not clear exactly why (Rasputin) left the village, but this could be one of the reasons. Rasputin traveled from village to village for his religious teachings. Historians believe that Rasputin's movement in the heart of Siberian forests refers to a sect called Khlystys, which was an underground sect that separated from the Russian Orthodox Church and existed from the beginning of the 17th century to the end of the 20th century. The members of this sect used to gather secretly in the forest on Saturdays. They believed in the direct connection between humans and the Holy Spirit. In some ceremonies, they would strangle each other, and at the last moment they would let go of each other, and as a result of this strangulation, a person would be in a state of ecstasy. Then they danced, danced, and stomped their feet until they fell on the floor, and then they went to their own sensual powers and had sex with whoever was sleeping next to them. Rasputin continued his journey and passed on his teachings to others. Of course, Rasputin's goal was not to invite people to religion, but he considered this move as austerity. He felt that his sins would be forgiven with these hardships. When he returned to the village where he was born to meet his friends and family, he had become a completely different man. There was a terrifying expression in his eyes and he said that he received signs from God that made him stronger than ever. He told his wife that he needed the basement of their house to hold spiritual meetings with his friends there. Part 2: Satan in St. Petersburg One day, Rasputin said to those around him, the Virgin Mary inspired him to go to St. Petersburg and help the royal family. It was a completely stupid idea for the royal family to need the help of a Siberian peasant. But how could this peasant fit himself in the heart of the royal family? It turned out that his master (Makari) was one of the clergymen of the royal family in the past. (Rasputin) was able to meet many high-level people by using the connection he had with his teacher. They also believed in Rasputin's power and were surprised. Wealthy people traveled a long way and went to Po
