There is a male reproductive organ in a jar of formaldehyde in a Russian museum purported to be that of Rasputin. It gives some creedence to the saying, “hung like Russian race horse.”

That’s my hypothesis: demonic possession. He was so packed full of ‘em, so infested, they kept him going until well after he was biologically dead.
Oh, BTW: they say that a couple of days after Yusupov wrapped the Mad Monk’s corpse in weighted chains and threw him in the Neva, when his body was recovered, he was found to have squirmed out of, like, seven of the eight chains.
I’m just sayin’

Rasputin also was probably a user of Amanita Muscaria
often found at the foot of birch trees on the taiga
and used by rural shamans, so his tolerance for alkaloids
may have been pretty high.

Not really. Putin’s grandfather was a cook for Lenin and Stalin. He was a committed and loyal communist, and either lucky or beloved enough not to have been purged.
