| RASPUTIN was called by the medium to tell you
your fortune through the Internet. Rasputin was a Russian Holy man that was
killed December 29, 1916. There are many legends and rumors about him. He
(probably) could predict the future from age ten when he was ill with a
fever. As a cult figure he is known as a man of evil and associated
with many pagan like religions. During his assassination he was reportedly
poisoned with cyanide and it had no effect. He was shot in the back of the
head and turned around to the shooter and said, "You have been a bad boy".
The shooter ran off screaming. Other assassins were waiting outside for him
and shot him several times. He still didn't die so they threw him into the
river. It was reported at the time of his death that he was killed because
he had too much influence on the Russian Royal Family. In fact he was probably just a nice guy that (somehow) could see the future. He did predict his death a few days before it occurred. He was more than likely killed by British agents because he was sick of the carnage of WWI and was going to advise the Czar to withdraw. Go to the Fortune Telling page for Rasputin to tell your fortune. Remember you can only select one card. |
