Got any rasputin love?
(I thought of doing an entirely new version of the site for April Fool's Day - changing the title to "I Love Rasputin" and even the little logo of the yeti with the heart to a little black-bearded Mad Monk with a heart. But then I realized that only like 2 people in the whole world would see it in that 24 hour period and get the joke, so I changed my mind.)
Let's take a look at some milestones in the history of Rasputin in the Popular Culture...
Scurrilous 1915 cartoon depicting Nicholas and Alexandra as puppets of Rasputin
1916 Russian cartoon showing how Rasputin dominated the Royal Court.
He was the villain in the 1997 animated film Anastasia.
And in the Hellboy comics and movies:
McFarlane Toys made an action figure of him as part of its "Monsters Series 3: Six Faces of Madness":
Calamity Jon Morris thinks that Rasputin should be listed alongside Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster, the Mummy and the Werewolf as one of the classic monsters of the public consciousness. So he came up with the idea of making him the spokesperson for his own line of breakfast cereal a la Count Chocula. Genius.

Just wanted to say that I love reading your blog even though I don't collect Yeti stuff.
Thanks!
You can find a Rasputin in Corto Maltese by Italian comicer Hugo Pratt. It's very popular in Europe and Rasputin has a recurrent role.
I don't even have words for this

Rusputin is the victim here. He was just misunderstood :( He was a victim of society that caused him to be the way he was. LOL
