In this week’s episode, Kat and Nastia talk about arguably the most mysterious character in Russian history - Rasputin himself. Join in to learn how an illiterate peasant earned his name (yes, Rasputin is not his real name) and became an influential figure close to the royal family.

The word of the episode is muzhik (Russian: мужик) - a slang word for a male, man, dude.
