Rasputin (Anastasia)

Next Door Villain

What would you sell your soul for? Apparently Rasputin sold his soul in order to… take out an entire royal family (kind of intense). We try to understand Rasputin from the 1997 animated film, Anastasia. Does your mouth randomly fall off your body like Rasputin’s? I hope not. We also talk: Some history about the real life Rasputin, being in limbo, and more. At the end, Tiana shares her poem written from Rasputin’s perspective - it's like a letter to Bartok, the random albino bat. 

Things Mentioned:
Rasputin: Faith, Power, and the Twilight of the Romanovs by Douglas Smith
The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A. Singer
