In today's episode, we're putting Gregori Rasputin, the Mad Monk of Russia, on blast for being ridiculously hard to kill, among other things. Thank you to Defy the Mall for the use of their song The Keeper of Histories for the intro and outro of our program.

As always, you can contact me at [email protected] or @historyonblast on twitter. Thank you. I'm looking for user submissions of weird history stories from your area! If you've got something, let me know because I want to hear it.
