| ARTICLES RELATED TO Karel Roden | | | |  Karel Roden: Encyclopedia II - Hellboy - Character historyHellboy is a creature summoned in the final months of World War II by a fictional version of Grigori Rasputin, on a small island just off the coast of Scotland ('Tarmagent Island'), having been commissioned by the Nazis to change the tide of war ("Project Ragna Rok"). Hellboy appeared in a fireball in a ruined church in East Bromwich, England, December 23, 1944. He proved not to be a devil, but a little boy-like creature (with red skin, horns, a tail, and a large stone right hand)—hence the name given by Professor ...

| | | | Karel Roden: Encyclopedia II - Grigori Rasputin - Controversial activities and beliefs Rasputin in the meantime became a controversial figure, leading a scandalous personal life with his mostly female followers from Saint Petersburg high society. Furthermore, he was frequently seen picking up prostitutes, and drinking himself into a stupor, not arriving home until early in the morning. He was unsavory, ill-mannered, bathed infrequently, and often exhibited outrageous behavior in public.
While fascinated by him, the Saint Petersburg el ...

| | | | Karel Roden: Encyclopedia II - Hellboy - Publication history Hellboy debuted in 1993 in San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2 (Dark Horse Comics). Written and drawn by creator Mike Mignola, the stories have a flavor of supernatural adventure with a dark mood embodied by Mignola's unique sense of design (which may be characterized by Mignola's incisive line, and his distinctive balance of heavy shadows and pure colors).
Mignola's stories are heavily influenced by, and have been dedicated to, H. P. Lovecraft, Jack Kirby, Edgar Allan Poe, and other authors. Horror stories of the Weird Tal ...

| | | | Karel Roden: Encyclopedia II - Grigori Rasputin - Meaning of the name Rasputin The name Rasputin in Russian does not mean "licentious," as is often claimed. There is, however, a very similar Russian adjective rasputny (распу́тный) which does mean "licentious" and the corresponding noun rasputnik. There is no definite explanation of the origin of this not uncommon surname which does not have a "disgraceful" meaning, as the contemporary Russian writer Valentin Rasputin would be quick to explain. There are at least two options for the root of the word. One of them is "put' ," which me ...

Hellboy - Feature films.

| | | | Karel Roden: Encyclopedia II - Grigori Rasputin - The spirit of Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin After his death, his secretary Simonovich realized that Rasputin had moved a lot of money into his daughter Maria's account, and generally set all his affairs in order.
Weeks before he was assassinated in December 1916, according to his secretary Simanovich, Rasputin wrote the following:
"I write and leave behind me this letter at St. Petersburg. I feel that I shall leave life before January 1. I wish to make known to the Russian people, to Papa, to the Russian Mother and to the Children, to the land of Russia, what they must u ...

| | | | Karel Roden: Encyclopedia II - Grigori Rasputin - Assassination myths The legends recounting the death of Rasputin are perhaps even more bizarre than his strange life. Having decided that Rasputin's influence over the Tzarina made him too dangerous to the Empire, a group of nobles apparently lured Rasputin to the palace of their ringleader, Prince Felix Yusupov, where they served him cakes and red wine laced with measured amounts of cyanide. According to the legend, Rasputin was not affected . Determined to finish the job, Yusupov went upstairs, then came back down and shot him through the chest with a revolve ...

| | | | Karel Roden: Encyclopedia II - Grigori Rasputin - The latest forensic and historical evidence The details of the assassination given by Felix Yusupov have never stood up to close examination. The statement given to the Petrograd police on 16 December; the account he gave whilst in exile in the Crimea in 1917; his 1927 book, and the accounts given under oath to libel juries in 1934 and 1965. No two accounts were entirely identical. Until recently, lack of proof has ruled out any other credible evidence-based theories.
According to the unpublished 1916 autopsy report by Professor Kossorotov and subsequent reviews by Dr Vladimir ...

| | | | Karel Roden: Encyclopedia II - Grigori Rasputin - Prediction of disaster On the night of his murder, Rasputin said to Yussoupov, "The aristocrats can't get used to the idea that a humble peasant should be welcome at the Imperial Palace. They are consumed with envy and fury. But I'm not afraid of them. They can't do anything to me. I'm protected against ill fortune. There have been several attempts on my life but the Lord has always frustrated these plots. Disaster will come to anyone who lifts a finger against me."
Within three months Nicholas II and the Romanov dynasty were overthrown; within 19 months the Tsar and all his family had been executed. All three ...

| | | | Karel Roden: Encyclopedia II - Grigori Rasputin - Healer to the Tsarevich Rasputin was wandering as a pilgrim in Siberia when he heard reports of Tsarevich Alexei's hemophilia in 1904. The disease had been inherited from his great-grandmother (Queen Victoria). Rasputin was regarded as the last resort of the desperate Tsar and Tsarina. They had tried everywhere to find a cure for their son and in 1905 asked the charismatic peasant healer for help. He was said to possess the ability to heal through prayer, and he was indeed able to give the boy some relief. Skeptics have claimed that he did so by hypnosis, though du ...

| | | | Karel Roden: Encyclopedia II - Grigori Rasputin - Reputation The contemporary press, as well as sensationalist articles and books published in the 1920s and 1930s (one of them even by Yussoupov), turned the charismatic peasant into something of a 20th century folk myth. To Westerners, Rasputin became the embodiment of purported Russian backwardness, superstition, irrationality and licentiousness, and an object of sensational interest; to the Russian Communists, he represented all that was evil in the old regime and had been overcome in the revolution. Yet to some Russians, he remained a symbol of the ...
