Who was Rasputin?
8. Poor Hygiene
Among other things, Rasputin was known for his exceptionally poor hygiene. It is claimed that he would lick other peoples spoons before they ate with them. It is also claimed that he never bathed and that he would wear the same underwear for 6 months at a time.

He would allegedly often get food stuck in his beard but not wash his beard afterward, leaving the morsels of trapped food to decay where they were. A French ambassador once likened Rasputin’s body odor to that of a goat. Despite having such poor hygiene, it didn’t seem to stop many women from being attracted to him.
