Die-Hard in History
(...)
Grigory Rasputin: was poisoned, shot four times, and beaten until he finally died from drowning
Rasputin has been tied in the immortality of history to the ill-fated Romanov family. Some may even
say that he was the cause of their destruction. Whatever you may think about him: powerful mystic
or drunken fruitcake, he wormed his way into the heart of the imperial family and he just didn't want to
go. The legends surrounding the death of Rasputin are perhaps even more mysterious and bizarre
than his life. The first attempt on Rasputin's life failed; on June 29, 1914, after either just receiving a
telegram or exiting church, he was attacked suddenly by Khionia Guseva, a former prostitute. The
woman thrust a knife into Rasputin's abdomen, and his entrails hung out of what seemed like a
mortal wound. Convinced of her success, Guseva supposedly screamed, "I have killed the antichrist!".
After intensive surgery, however, Rasputin recovered. It was said of his survival that "the soul of this
cursed muzhik was sewn on his body”.
On December 16, 1916, having decided that Rasputin's influence over the Tsaritsa had made him a
far-too-dangerous threat to the empire, a group of nobles, led by Prince Felix Yusupov and the Grand
Duke Dmitri Pavlovich and politician Vladimir Purishkevich, apparently lured Rasputin to the
Yusupovs' Moika Palace basement, where they served him cakes and red wine laced with a massive
amount of cyanide. According to legend, Rasputin was unaffected, although Maklakov had supplied
enough poison to kill five men. Determined to finish the job, Yusupov became anxious about the
possibility that Rasputin might live until the morning, leaving the conspirators no time to conceal his
body. Yusupov ran upstairs to consult the others and then came back down to shoot Rasputin
through the back with a revolver. Rasputin fell, and the company left the palace for a while. Yusupov
went to check up on the body. Suddenly, Rasputin opened his eyes and lunged at him. When he
grabbed Prince Yusupov he ominously whispered in Yusupov's ear "you bad boy" and attempted to
escape. Yusopov and his co-conspirators chased Rasputin out into the yard, shooting him two more
times and beating him with a rubber club. To ensure he didn't rouse again, the men tied Rasputin in
a blanket and dumped his body into the Neva River. His body was found with his right arm
outstretched, presumably to make the sign of the cross, indicating that he was still alive when he hit
the water and managed to partially free himself. An autopsy established that the cause of death was
drowning. His arms were found in an upright position, as if he had tried to claw his way out from under
the ice (the Neva Riva freezes between November 25 and December 5, and the ice is gone only by
mid-April). It was found that he had indeed been poisoned, and that the poison alone should have
been enough to kill him.

Man provides photo for his own wanted poster
Mon Nov 9, 2009 10:23am EST
LONDON (Reuters) - A British man on the run from police sent a picture of himself to his local
paper because he disliked the mugshot they had printed of him as part of a public appeal to
track him down.
South Wales Police had issued media with the photo of Matthew Maynard, wanted by officers
investigating a house burglary, as part of a crackdown on crime in Swansea.
When it appeared in the South Wales Evening Post, the 23-year-old sent the newspaper a
replacement photo of himself standing in front of a police van. They obligingly printed it on the
front page.
The police thanked him for helping them in their appeal, saying: "Everyone in Swansea will
know what he looks like now."
