Rasputin Распутин Raspoutine
French Movie Poster
Rasputin is a 2011 Franco-Russian television movie directed by Josée Dayan. As an itinerant preacher and healer, the Siberian peasant Rasputin travels through the Russian Empire. When even the pious Tsarina Alexandra invited him to court, his work aroused the disfavor of the Russian generals. With the entry into the war in 1914, Rasputin's influence became ever more dangerous.
The following weapons were used in the film Rasputin :
