Okay, welcome, everybody.

This would be part two of what I started yesterday, reading a book by Prince Yusufov.

Full title is Rasputin, his malignant influence, and his assassination.

And this book was published, this version was published in many forms, but what I'm reading from is from 1927.

So I'll pick up where we left off. And I'll also put a link in the show notes to all these other episodes I've done, which is now at like 42, about me reading just a variety

of different history books.

So if you're interested in that topic, they're set out from my standard podcast episodes

that are on Spreaker, used to be on Spotify.

And now they're being distributed in a lot of places, because I got my YouTube channels back about seven, eight months ago. But here we go, picking up where we left off.

It's interesting where I left off last time is Yusupot brings it kind of full circle as he talks about Rasputin dying in St. Petersburg

and then the Romanov family dying being shot, it displaced close to where Rasputin was from.

So they were taken into Siberia, Nicholas II, his wife,

they have these kind of long names.

I'm having some, the Russian translations are interesting,

but she was the Sart Eidna or something like the,

the wife Nicholas the second was from Germany.

And he goes on to explain their interest in mysticism, her interest,

the hemophilia of the air, and just the family dynamics.

I mean, this is kind of up those personal things that you may not get in a standard kind of topical analysis of the royal family but just shows the difference in

personalities and also of Rasputin it's interesting because some people in the show notes say

that Rasputin is paid to sainthood they don't know anything about the occult because

the Rasputin is doing things just and we we'll see this in this book, you'll be blown away.
