Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin (/ræˈspjuːɪn/; 22 January [O.S. 9 January] 1869 – 30 December [O.S. 17 December] 1916) was a Russian peasant, and a mystical faith healer. He was not a monk who lived in a monastery, but a religious pilgrim. In 1904 he arrived in the capital St Petersburg. The Tsar and Tsarina talked many times with Rasputin and asked for advice as he became their spiritual guide.
