really wanted to get that latter point across instantly, which is like the thesis sentiment of this song, then they could have entitled it something like ‘Rasputin the Lady’s Man’. This is in addition to ‘shamelessly’ conducting himself as far as women were concerned. This is apparently a rumor that has persisted throughout the generations, even though there doesn’t appear to be any factual basis behind it. Rather as asserted, such a claim is basically meant to buttress the idea that Rasputin “really was gone”, i.e. goes on to assert that he was actually having a sexual relation with Tsar Nicholas II’s wife, “the Russian queen” Alexandra Feodorovna (1872-1918). Lyrics of “Rasputin”Īnd this track more or less tells the same story, though in more of a musical fashion. For instance, at some points the lyrics read as if Rasputin is being exalted, if you will, as “Russia’s greatest love machine”. Furthermore in the chorus, Boney M.
In fact he was so cool with the Tsar and his family that at one point, despite never being formally educated, Rasputin was second in command of Russia’s domestic affairs. In other words, he was a very potent mystic/holy man in the eyes of Tsar.īut whereas he may have had Nicholas fooled, Rasputin was well known amongst the masses as being someone who, euphemistically speaking, was more concerned with pleasing himself than keeping it holy or uplifting Russia. In fact “Rasputin” is not his real name but rather a moniker placed upon him meaning “debauched one”. And ultimately he met his fate, via assassination, at the age of 47. Grigori Rasputin (1869-1916), contrary to what many people may believe, was not an actual Russian ruler. Rather he was very cool and influential with Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918), who did lead the large and powerful country at the time.
