Historical Photos To Blow Your Mind: New Release!

Rasputin Gets Colorized

This chilling photograph of Rasputin was recently colorized, seemingly bringing the Russian mystic to life almost 101 years after his murder. Rasputin was a self-proclaimed holy man who gained influence over the country after he became close with the family of Emperor Tsar Nichols II.

When his influence was deemed too powerful, a group of nobles murdered Rasputin with poison and a close-range gunshot to his forehead. When you see Rasputin’s hypnotizing blue eyes brought to life, it’s easy to see how he won over the dynasty.
