Yusupov and his accomplices had planned things carefully. The cakes offered to Rasputin had been laced with enough potassium cyanide to slay a monastery full of monks. But Rasputin just kept eating them. Incredulous at the monks survival, Prince Yusupov poured madeira into a cyanide-laced wine glass and handed it to Rasputin. Instead of collapsing into unconsciousness within seconds, as would be expected from a massive dose of cyanide, Rasputin continued to sip the wine like a connoisseur.
A second lethal glass disappeared into the monks mouth with little apparent effect other than some difficulty swallowing. Asked if he was feeling unwell he replied Yes, my head is heavy and Ive a burning sensation in my stomach. A third glass of tainted wine only seemed to revive him. Having ingested their whole stock of cyanide, the group of assassins were somewhat at a loss as to what to do next.
So they shot him.

Rasputin was behind the hacking of the election, I hope he keeps it up.
Hack more, Rasputin. Hack like you don't even care.
Hack on, hacker.

Upstairs, a gramophone played Yankee Doodle Dandy to fool the monk in to believing there was a party in full swing. Must have been a Republican Party..................

Just a theory on why the cyanide had no effect.
He may have suspected some attempt on his life and as a precaution he could have eaten a couple daffodil bulbs.
Daffodil bulbs contain atropine, the antidote for cyanide and many nerve agents. Atropine via daffodil bulbs will give you an upset stomach but won’t kill you.

I think I read that his body was exhumed a year(?) or so after death and then burned, during which he appeared to sit up.
