British spy 'fired the shot that finished off Rasputin'
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;sessionid=03PVE10QP5BPBQFIQMGSNAGAVCBQWJVC?xml=/news/2004/09/19/wras19.xml&sSheet=/portal/2004/09/19/ixportal.html&secureRefresh=true&_requestid=61929

Rasputin, the Russian monk who became the confidant of Alexandra, the Tsarina, and her husband, Tsar Nicholas II, was killed by a British agent, according to a documentary to be broadcast next month.

An investigation into his death in 1916 has concluded that he was murdered not as had been supposed by disaffected Russian aristocrats but by Oswald Rayner, a member of the Secret Intelligence Bureau who was working at the Russian court in St Petersburg.

Richard Cullen, a retired Scotland Yard commander who has been studying the case with Andrew Cook, an intelligence historian, says that a new forensic analysis and an examination of official records helped him to reach his conclusion.

According to Timewatch Rayner was known to be in St Petersburg in December 1916 when Rasputin died. A close friend from university was Prince Felix Yusupov, at whose sumptuous palace the murder took place.

1. oh go to hell cullen ya pervert
besides, who gives a fuk....these *holes overlook media cons going on right in front of their faces to dig up poor Rasputin! the murdering pigs think that they can rewrite history....if the goddam british had left nicholas2 alone and freed him from his obligations to keep Russia in the 1st world war, then perhaps a constitutional monarchy (similar to what britain enjoys) would have had a chance in Russia: instead Nicholas tried to fulfil Russia's treaty obligations, and Russia suffered horrific loses of millions of men...which was all the revolution needed to create chaos. Then the germans sent Lenin to Russia's borders in a sealed boxcar (lenin had agreed to pull russia out of war)...an act that must rate as one of history's most vile!
tens of millions of people have died directly as a result of what the british have done...cannot them bastards at least shut the fuk up
(besides, the accepted version of the murder involving prince yusopv, who was a foppish sissy who pranced around on tiptoes, carried a ricepaper fan and would probably faint at the sight of blood, beats any revision these clusterfuking liars can conjure up!)
