Births

 * 1869 - Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin was a Russian mystic who befriended the Romanov family, gaining him influence over Russia. He acted as a healer to Alexei Nikolaevich Romanov, the Tsarevich of Russia. He was assassinated by Felix Yusopov on December 30, 1916, in a convoluted manner. First, he was poisoned, then shot, and finally thrown into a frigid lake in a sack, and yet clung on to life until the last minute.
