Grigori Rasputin and his female admirers
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin (1869-1916, second left), Russian mystic, at a meeting with his female admirers. Rasputin, born in Siberia, was a wandering mystic and healer who rose to power in Imperial Russia by gaining the confidence of the royal family by acting as healer to their son. To further the advance of his power, Rasputin cohabited with upper-class women in exchange for granting political favours. However, he became involved in the political struggles between monarchist, anti-monarchist, revolutionary and other political forces, and, in 1916, he was assassinated in St Petersburg. Photographed in 1907, in Moscow, Russia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the enigmatic figure of Grigori Rasputin surrounded by his female admirers. Taken in 1907 in Moscow, Russia, this image provides a glimpse into the life of the Russian mystic and healer who rose to power during Imperial Russia. Grigori Rasputin, born in Siberia, gained the confidence of the royal family by acting as a healer to their son. In exchange for granting political favors, he cohabited with upper-class women to further advance his influence. However, Rasputin soon found himself entangled in the complex web of political struggles between monarchists, anti-monarchists, revolutionaries, and other factions. Despite his rise to power and close association with royalty, Rasputin's controversial actions eventually led to his demise. In 1916, he was assassinated in St Petersburg amidst growing unrest within Russian society. The print showcases an intimate gathering where politics and mysticism intersected. A young Grigori Rasputin can be seen engaged in conversation with these influential women who were captivated by his charm and mysterious aura. As we delve into this historical snapshot from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how individuals like Rasputin shaped events that would ultimately lead to significant moments such as the Russian Revolution. This photograph is not just an artistic portrayal but also an invaluable piece of documentation that sheds light on one man's journey through power dynamics and societal upheaval.
