What was his deal? [spoiler]how big was his penis?[/spoiler]

His deal was simply that he was an excellent con man, to the point where he was able to go from nothing to be on good terms with the royal family. Also people were incredibly gullible and would have more than likely accepted any form of nonscientific witchery if one had the confidence to pull it off. Which Rasputin certainly did, so good for him.

Did he really fuck the Tsar's wife or is that bullshit?

BIG

I never got the whole deal with Rasputin. He was a poor villager that became a religious nutjob, right? Like, he would be a crazy hobo rambling about the end times under a bridge in modern times. Why did everyone want him dead so much?

Obligatory

It's not true. Plenty of women went to him for 'private audiences' but Alexandra was not one of them. Due to their close relationship rumors obviously were going to spread no matter what.

Interesting fact:

Tsar, Czar, Kaiser and Shah all mean Caesar.
