Okay, this is part five of my reading of this book by Prince Felix Yusupov.

And the full title, again, is Rasputin, his malignant influence and his assassination.

So I'll try to break it down into six parts, but I'll see what I can do.

And where we left off was at the death of Rasputin at the house of Felix Yusuf, this kind of conspiracy.

And they, it goes so you can go check out the other four parts too

before you read this but now they're trying to figure out what to do with his body after he

resisted all this poison there's a rumor i don't know if it's true but there's a rumor that um

that resputin was slowly poisoning himself over time so he would become immune to poisons.

Like he was that much of an adept that he was like slowly dosing himself.

It's a rumor.

I've never validated it.

Maybe somebody who knows more about Rasputin could verify that.

I don't know.

Anyway, here's chapter 14, death, which was no death.

In conformity with our plan, the Grand Duke, Dmitri Pavlovich's captain Sukotin and Dr. Lazovirt

had now to stage a fictitious return of Rasputin to his own flat. In case the secret police had

followed him on our drive to my house.

Sukhoten had to disguise himself in Rasputin's fur coat and cap and drive off in Pereskovich's car with the Grand Duke and the doctor in the direction of the Gourakkovaia.

Rasputin's clothing had to be conveyed to the Warsaw station where it was to be burnt in Pariskovich's red cross train, the car being left there. From the station they were to take a

cab and drive to the Grand Duke's Palace. They were to pick up his closed car in which they were to

return to the Mojka. Rasputin's body was then to be conveyed in that car from my home to the Petrovsky Island.

We requested the doctor who acted as chauffeur to drive as fast as possible and try and cover his tracks.
