“When the bell tolls three times, it will announce that I have been killed. If I am killed by common men, you and your children will rule Russia for centuries to come; if I am killed by one of your stock, you and your family will be killed by the Russian people!"

Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin was a Russian mystic and self-proclaimed holy man.

It was a classified mission off the coast of Scotland. It had been 60 years, but Wayne Munson still remembered it like it was yesterday. How could he not? It was the day he unexpectedly became a father, or a guardian of sorts at least. The day he met Eddie - or as the boys had fondly named him at the time, “Hellboy”.

Vampires, History and You

DRAGAN I (12th century)

Blood-sucker from the Second Bulgarian Empie credited with being the first vampire. Claims of his exact birth, life and undeath are generally disputed and little proof of him even existing has been found. He is purported to have been of noble blood though as result of an affair, dying early of sickness and ressurecting as the original vampiric spawn for reasons unknown.

Some say he simply faded away or that he lives on to this day in form of the monsters of modern myth.

VLADISLAV III (1431-1476)

Contrary to popular belief, the Voivode of Wallachia, Vlad "The Impaler" was NOT A VAMPIRE. However due to his sheer bloodlust and sadism he was a magnet for them. Many high-ranking Wallachian officials at the time were vampires fully on board with his ideas who wholeheartedly supported his plundering and impaling of the Transylvanian Saxons.

He was slain by his own troops as they had mistaken him for a Turk.

ELIZABETH BATHORY DE ESCED (1560-1614)

A Hungarian countess moonlighting as a serial killer. Elizabeth was of the superstitious belief that bathing in blood would keep her youth intact, as her vampirism started taking a toll on her exterior, causing her to kill over 600 young maidens.

In early 1611 she was detained and imprisoned in Csejte castle for the remainder of her life where the deprivation of blood caused her to die four years later at the age of 54.

GRIGORI YEFIMOVICH RASPUTIN (1792-?)

Hired as a faith healer by the Nicholas II's son, the Siberian strannik Grigori Rasputi was not only a skilled manipulator and medical practitioner but also a possibly immortal vampire. Despite having a religious awakening after a pilgrimage in 1897 he was an opulent man enjoying all the pleasures of food, strong drink and any woman that would have him (which were quite many).

Following multiple failed assasination attemps Rasputin was thought to have been killed by a group of noblemen. Their first attempt to poison him with cyanide-laced cake and wine failed as his physiology withstood the poison, he was shot in the forehead and his corpse was diposed in the Malaya Nevka River.

However current paranormal scholars believe he is still alive and well, living in the shadows.

"JACK THE RIPPER" (Active 1888)

Another vampire serial killer is said to have haunted Victorian England. Although not even the name "Jack the Ripper" is for certain the methods of murder and removal of internal organs point to the suspect or suspects being of vampiric nature.

Never identified.

PETER KÜRTEN (1883-1931)

Maybe not one of the deadliest but probably most heinous vamprire serial killers, Peter Kürten was a man who truly earned his titles. Such charming nicknames as "The Düsseldorf Monster" and "The King of Sexual Perverts". Kürten went on a spree of arsons, homicides and molestations in the year 1929 before he was apprehended.

Peter was executed via beheading in 1931 on accounts of nine cases of murder and seven cases of attempted murder. His head was split in two (possibly to avoid biting post-decapitation) and mummified. In the late 1940s the head was moved to the US and now resides in Wisconsin.

KAREN SABNOCK (1912-Present)

The matriarch of a vampire clan which migrated to America after years of vampires confining themselves to Europe. At her arrival in the 1950s she fell in love with the suburban lifestyle that had been established post war. Her clan has grown strong over the years acting as a haven for vampirekind in the American Northeast...well as long as they conform to the standards of it.

She governs the coven as a sort of omnipotent wine aunt and is currently on the lookout for another vampiric bride, having set her eyes on the human wife of one of her clansmen.

BILLIAM FREDERICK SUBURBS (1914-2012)

A prominent social figure and progenitor of the Karen's suburban vampire community. He was the classic sitcom family man father of three living with his wife...until she killed him and their children after discovering they had killed a man to drink his blood in front of her.

Since his demise the clan has been on the hunt for his spouse Marsha.

Hey, umm, feel free to ignore of this is a stupid question, bit why do some people call the Grishaverse “Gregverse”? I’ve seen it used a lot and I can’t figure out why.

Hi, don't be afraid to ask anything. I might be a bit slooooower to answer, but without questions we never learn. ;)

Once upon a time LB (or her publishers) claimed Ravka is inspired by tsarist Russia and so it its language. Unfortunatelly it also drew people interested in such setting, or even familiar with Russian culture, and those pointed out certain inconsistencies in language, naming customs, or the tiny little detail LB decided to call her "not-magicians" by diminutive of an actual name- Grigori (Григорий). Name corresponding with English Gregory, therefore Grisha could be translated as "Greg".

It's a lovely summary of the whole world and the author's approach to its alleged inspiration. It's supposed to look and sound cool and fresh, but you shouldn't look too deeply into it. Therefore Gregverse is often used in slightly derogatory sense by people openly criticising it.

Another funny detail I realized while writing this- Grigori- or Grisha if we want- was the first name of an infamous holy man/charaltan and reputed miracle-worker you'll probably know from certain Boney M song and several Western works of fiction- Grigori Yefimovich Ra-Ra-Rasputin...

The real czar

He had seen this before, the way people shouted with hatred in the streets or the media of other nations criticizing them. Dmitry knew he was different when he first gained the awareness that every child at one point has, where memories are stored and words accumulate in the chest. First there were visions, where he saw himself with a beautiful wife and many daughters whom he loved with all his heart, the few times when he looked in the mirror he could feel the beard stinging on his face.

Maybe the world preferred him this way, maybe he was not destined to live in any of the planes far away from life, not even hell so he could rest in peace despite receiving an eternal punishment. Dmitry raised his gaze to the mirror, the drops running down his face to let him know that what he sees is real, that his eyes do not deceive him like other times. Sharing souls was strange, even he couldn't that he inhabited another soul inside him, but rather another old-fashioned thought that he himself could criticize in a way.

Somehow the pain in the back of his neck never went away in the times when the stress was enough.

When he met Vladimir he saw greatness, the same way that priest once looked at him, with those eyes full of desire for something some mortals only wished for in their deepest thoughts. He remembered his name, Grigory Yefimovich, a bearded man who claimed to have knowledge in the dark arts. Many called him nowadays simply Rasputin; he used to call him a traitor, but that was something that made his mouth fill with a sour taste. With this new President, a tyrant he himself could recognize, it was different. The man pretended to be loyal as a dog, worthy of a spy who played on the trust of the weakest.

Dmitry touched the fingertips of his left hand, the only thing he could recognize about the new developments was the music, Pink Floyd became his favorite band along with Deep Purple which made it a delightful waltz to his ears. Those kinds of things along with the new clothes were the kind of things that made him happy. He paused the computer player with discomfort, in five minutes Vladimir should arrive.

Sometimes he missed being part of the monarchy, even though he was considered the worst there was in Russia, he wasn't that bad with what little he could remember. He loved his wife, he did his best to stop the officers from killing his daughters, but that sort of thing was simply impossible to do. Dmitry frowned, remembering how the queen of england had sent to investigate his remains, some good thing he could do for the dead who didn't get justice.

But he was also at fault, he was inefficient and allowed people to reveal themselves in the same way it happens now. He sighed, remembering the past would not bring him back, in the same way, those who did not know their history were doomed to repeat it. The door opened, the man's face was handsome and that fire burning in his stomach was annoying, too much to make him tense in his seat as he pointed to the chair in front of him.

His relationship with Vladimir was more complicated than it seemed.

You mentioned Rasputin‘s brother drowning himself? I don’t think I ever heard of him having siblings. What happened to them?

In the context, it was "he, himself, drowned". I'm not saying he committed suicide or anything, sorry if it wasn't worded well, let's be careful with that.

A quick research on the english wikipedia page of Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin tells us he had seven siblings, who all died in infancy and early childhood. Another source, which I won't reveal because I'm mysterious, but you can find rather easily, states their names were Agrippina, Andrei, Andrey, (one of the Andres is the one who drowned, most probably the second as the first must have been dead very early in order for his name to be reused for the next child), Evdokiya, Glikeriya, Maria and Tikhon.

Rumors are there was a ninth child (seven siblings + grigori = 8) who was named Feodosya and who lived long enough to have children, who would have all been godchildren of Grigori. However, thanks to both the people who wanted to soil his reputation and to the communist revolution, most records of that time were lost, so it's very hard to say more about it.

What I did find was that she died at age 25, in 1900, five years after her wedding, and had two children, who were Rasputin's godchildren. It is unknown what their names, gender or age of death were. It is entirely possible they survived to adulthood and then had children in their turn. After all, flowers are put on Feodosya's tomb, if not regularly, at least sometimes, and if her branch of the family had died, it would have been weird.

Now, if we were to extrapolate the names and gender of her children I'd say she is still from a generation of people who would give to their children the name of the children's godparent of the same sex. So if one of them was a boy, his name would be Grigori.

However in the Orthodox church, only one godparent is the norm, which could imply Feodosya's kids were both male. Now, obviously, she could have been so close to her brother she would have named him godfather of her children even if they were girls, and I'm not, myself, orthodox, so I don't want to advance some explanation or supposition that would be uncorrect, such as pretending that the sole godparent is always the same sex as the child (which I know is absolutely false). So I'll leave it at that.
