RA-RA-RASPUTIN

I need to clarify some historical misconceptions.  My FAVORITE lesson of every school year is the Russian Revolution and the Romanov family.  Unfortunately, it is a story most people have let Hollywood inform them of, not history books.

This guy:


Did not kill this family:


This girl:

Was not a lost orphaned princess


1. Rasputin was an adviser to the Tzarina, Alexandra, because he was "healing" the Romanov's heir of hemophilia.  He used hypnosis and the newly formed drug Aspirin.


2. Anastasia was murdered along with the rest of her family in Ipatiev House in 1918


3. Anna Anderson was an imposter who lied about being the lost Anastasia - I hate her


4. Rasputin was stabbed, poisoned, shot four times, clubbed and beaten. His actual cause of death of was none of the above, it was drowning after being thrown into a river.


5. The Romanov bodies were found in 1979 but DNA testing was not fully completed until 2008.


It is such an amazing REAL story, I don't know why Hollywood had to go and ruin it with their stupid cartoon of solid lies.
