Maria Rasputin

At 79 years old, Maria Rasputin physical status not available right now. We will update Maria Rasputin's height, weight, eye color, hair color, build, and measurements.

Maria Rasputin (born Matryona Grigorievna Rasputina, 27 March 1898 – 27 September 1977) was the daughter of Grigori Rasputin and his partner Praskovya Dubrovina.

She wrote two memoirs about her father, dealing with Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Feodorovna, as well as the Khionia Guseva attack and the assassination attempt.

In 1977, a third one, The Man Behind the Myth, was published in association with Patte Barham.

She painted an almost saintly portrait of her father in her three memoirs, the truth of which has been challenged.

Early life

Matryona (or Maria) Rasputin was born in Pokrovskoye, Siberian Governorate, on March 26, 1898, and the following day, she was baptized. Some people believe she was born in 1899; the year is also on her tombstone, but the archives in Russia have expanded since 1990, and more information has become available to researchers. In September 1910, she went to Kazan (maybe the Mariinsky women's gymnasium) and then moved to St. Petersburg, where her first name was changed to Maria to better reflect her social ambitions. Rasputin had brought Maria and her younger sister Varvara (Barbara) to live with him in the capital in the hopes of turning them into "little ladies." They attended Steblin-Kamensky private preparatory school in October 1913 after being refused admission to the Smolny Institute.

Life following the Revolution

Maria was forbidden to marry Boris Soloviev, Nikolai Soloviev's charismatic son and one of her father's followers, according to Rasputin. Boris Soloviev, a graduate of a school of mysticism, ascended on Rasputin as his successor after the assassination. Boris, a researcher who had investigated Madame Blavatsky's theosophy and hypnotism, attended meetings in which Rasputin's followers attempted to communicate with the dead by prayer meetings and séances. Maria attended the sessions but later wrote in her diary that she didn't know why her father kept telling her to "love Boris" as the group spoke to him. Boris was not a fan of her, according to her. Boris was not all excited about Maria. He wrote in his own diary that his wife was not particularly useful for sexual interactions because there were so many women with bodies he found more attractive than hers. Boris obtained jewels from the Tsarina in September 1917 to help them plan for their escape, but Radzinsky says he held the money for himself. Nevertheless, she married Boris in 1917 in the Tauride Palace's chapel. The situation got worse after the Russian Provisional Government's demise. The couple migrated to her mother in spring 1918. They lived in Pokrovskoye Tyumen and Tobolsk.

Boris and her brother Dmitry were among the officers who had arrived in Ekaterinburg to arrange the escape of the Romanovs. During the Russian Civil War that followed, Boris lost the money he had earned from the jewels. Boris defrauded senior Russian families by requesting that a Romanov impostor be released to China. Young women were also able to masquerade as one of the grand duchesses for the benefit of the families he had defrauded. Baroness Sophie Buxhoeveden's account gives more details about the assassination and jewellery.)
