L'Année 1917 - Le faux moine Gregory Rasputin, tué le 30 décembre 1916
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Year 1917: The False Monk Grigori Rasputin, Killed on December 30, 1916) is a poignant photograph from the "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" (The Album of the War 1914-1919, Volume 2) published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The image captures the lifeless body of Grigori Rasputin, the Russian mystic and self-proclaimed holy man, who was infamously assassinated on December 30, 1916. Rasputin, born Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, was a peasant from Siberia who gained a following in the Russian Orthodox Church and royal court due to his supposed healing abilities. However, his influence over the Russian empress and her family, particularly during World War I, led to widespread suspicion and fear. In late 1916, a group of nobles, led by Prince Felix Yusupov, conspired to kill Rasputin, luring him to their home, feeding him poisoned cakes and wine, and eventually shooting him. This photograph, taken after Rasputin's death, shows his bearded face, now pale and lifeless, lying on a table. The image is a stark reminder of the tumultuous events of the time, as Russia was in the midst of the First World War and the Russian Revolution. The photograph, with its haunting subject and historical significance, is a testament to the power of the written word and the visual image to capture and preserve history. The creator of this photograph is unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding the image and its subject. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, particularly those related to the First World War, Russia, and religious figures. It is a reminder of the complexities of history and the enduring power of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity and uncertainty.
