The black and white photographs taken when he was alive?
Those are very real. But the most famous photograph of Grigori Rasputin was taken after his death — the images of his manhood, which was famously enormous and supposedly removed after his assassination and preserved…
…and those photos are not real. As in, yes, Rasputin was a real person. He was a Russian mystic and faith healer and he had great influence on the Tsar’s wife and family. And yes, he had an enormous schlong. But no, the “preserved sausage” of Rasputin isn’t actually his, nor did it ever belong to any man — it is, in fact, a dehydrated seacucumber. It kind of looked like a dick so it was displayed in a museum in Moscow. But it isn’t human at all.
Also, they did an autopsy on Grigori Rasputin when he died. And he was entirely intact, no bodyparts were removed by his assassins. So the images of supposed mystic-dick-in-a-jar aren’t real. Rasputin went to the funeral pyre in his entirety and nothing remains of him but the stories of his legendary exploits. All the rest is shadows and dust.
