3. Praskovya Dubrovina

In 1886, Rasputin travelled to the Russian town of Abalak. It was here that he met Praskovya Fedorovna Dubrovina, a peasant girl who lived in the town. The two courted each other for several months before eventually getting married in February 1887. Rasputin was 18 at the time they got married. It is thought that the couple had seven children together.

As was typical for poor people in Russia at the time, however, most of these children died before they would reach adulthood. The three children that did survive were name Dmitry, Maria, and Varvara. It is thought that Praskovya died around June 1936.
