We all were huddled around a table in the Yusupov palace discussing our plan for the final time. Many nobles were here: Grand Duke Dmitry Purishkevich, Prince Felix Yusupov, Lieutenant Sukhotin, Dr. Lazavert, and myself of course. He was one of the things that were ruining Russia. We called upon on the 16 in December, 1916. The plan was simple, tell him something we knew he wouldn't resist, and kill him when he comes. Finally the time came. We laced his cakes and red wine with cyanide, enough of it to kill five men. Supplying the poison was my job, one that was quite easy. He ate and drank the poison and we waited until the affects come in, he was not affected though! A couple hours later we talked to Felix, who was with Rasputin, and told him to shoot him. We heard a gun shot being fired so we all ran downstairs to find Rasputin lying on the floor dead.
We left his body there and decided to deal with it later. We went back later to find him still lying there. Felix went and felt the body and found it still warm. He shook him and nothing happened, second later though his eyelid fluttered open! He was still alive! He suddenly jumped up and charged at Felix who was able to regain control and through him off. Purishkevich ran up and saw him standing there and shot him three times in the back. They drug the body inside and laid it on a table. Felix was outraged by him still so he took a dumbbell and beat Rasputin until there was blood all over him. Amazingly, Rasputin was still alive! We bound him legs and arms together and rolled Rasputin into a rug. We threw him into a river and left, finally our deed was done. Later on in the day, we saw Rasputin’s body broken free of the bonds and out of the carpet floating in the water.
