Two Dangerous Men

Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin came from solid peasant stock, but drunkenness, stealing and womanising were activities particularly enjoyed by the dissolute young man.

Rasputin became synonymous with power, debauchery and lust — his presence played a significant role in the increasing unpopularity of the Imperial couple. Rasputin was murdered by monarchists who hoped to save Tsarism by ending his sway over the royal family.


Donald John Trumputin was an American businessman, serial liar, and politician who attempted at the behest of Russia to destroy the world’s oldest democracy though appeals to xenophobia, racism and misogyny.

Trumputin regularly assaulted women and incited political violence; for years he refused to accept the legitimacy of America’s president. Trumputin lost the election of 2016 but continue as a political presence via his TV network until he succumbed to old age and Alzheimer’s disease.
