This was because they believed that Rasputin possessed theР’В miraculous ability to heal their childР’В and heir to the Russian throne, Alexei Nikolayevich (1904-1918), from hemophilia. The second verse goes on to note just how powerful Rasputin eventually became.Р’В Again, he apparently didnРІР‚в„ўt have any type of impressive political title.Р’В But, with the blessings of the Tsar, he was the primary confidante of Alexandra when she was left in control of Russia during WWI.Р’В And as such he was in factР’В extremely powerful.Р’В ThatРІР‚в„ўs why people even to this day are under the impression that he was an actual world leader.Р”Р„nd of course news of his bad boy ways eventually made it up to the royal family themselves.Р’В But the Tsar and his wife chose to ignore such. He is presented from the onset as being a РІР‚СљbigРІР‚В¦ strongРІР‚Сњ and intimidating figure.Р”В«ut as far as the РІР‚Вchicks in MoscowРІР‚в„ў go, they were totally digginРІР‚в„ў him.Р’В And apparently the reason for such wasnРІР‚в„ўt due to his appearance alone.Р’В Rather he had mad skills in terms of preaching the Bible and was also perceived as some kind of great teacher.Р’В So itРІР‚в„ўs almost like he was a pastor.Р’В But instead of taking money from the people, Rasputin was obviously primarily concerned with using his gifts to get into womenРІР‚в„ўs pants.

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 РІР‚ВRasputin the LadyРІР‚в„ўs ManРІР‚в„ў. This is in addition to РІР‚ВshamelesslyРІР‚в„ў conducting himself as far as women were concerned. This is apparently a rumor that has persisted throughout the generations, even thoughР’В there doesnРІР‚в„ўt appear to be any factual basisР’В behind it.Р’В Rather as asserted, such a claim is basically meant to buttress the idea that Rasputin РІР‚Сљreally was goneРІР‚Сњ, i.e. goes on to assert that he was actually having a sexual relation with Tsar Nicholas IIРІР‚в„ўs wife, РІР‚Сљthe Russian queenРІР‚Сњ Alexandra Feodorovna (1872-1918).

Lyrics of РІР‚СљRasputinРІР‚СњР”Р„nd this track more or less tells the same story, though in more of a musical fashion.Р’В For instance, at some points the lyrics read as if Rasputin is being exalted, if you will, as РІР‚СљRussiaРІР‚в„ўs greatest love machineРІР‚Сњ.Р’В 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 RussiaРІР‚в„ўs domestic affairs.Р’В In other words, he was a very potent mystic/holy man in the eyes of Tsar.Р”В«ut 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.Р’В In fact РІР‚СљRasputinРІР‚Сњ is not his real name but rather a moniker placed upon him meaning РІР‚Сљdebauched oneРІР‚Сњ.Р’В 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.Р’В Rather he was very cool and influential with Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918), who did lead the large and powerful country at the time.
