"I feel that life will go out before the first of January. I want to tell the Russian people, the Pope, Mother and children that they should take. If I am killed by common assassins and my co-brothers, the peasants, the king of Russia, you will not have to fear for their children. They will reign for many more centuries. But if I destroy the nobles, if they shed my blood, their hands are stained with the blood of my twenty-five years, and they will leave Russia. Brother will rise against brother. They will hate and kill each other, and twenty-five years, Russia will not rest. King of the Russian land, if you hear the sound of the bell that tells you that Gregory killed, know that one of your faked my death, and none of you, none of your children will not live more than two years. They will be killed ...
I will be killed. I am no longer among the living. Pray! Pray! Be strong. Think about your family blessed! »
In October 1917, shortly before the uprising, Matrona married officer Boris Soloviev - member rescue attempt of Nicholas II during his Siberian exile.
The family had two girls, named in honor of the grand duchesses - Tatiana and Maria. The latter was born in exile, where Boris Matrona and fled Russia.
Prague, Berlin, Paris ... Wanderings were long. In 1926, Boris died of tuberculosis and Marochko (affectionately called her father) was left with two children in her arms almost destitute. The restaurant, open her husband went bankrupt: they often dined in the debt of the poorest immigrants.
Marya goes to work as a dancer in a cabaret - finally something useful dance classes she took in Berlin, a ballerina of the Imperial Theatres Deviler.
During one of the performances she was approached by the manager of one of the English circus:
- Come into the cage with the lions - take on the job.
Matrona, crossing himself, entered.
Posters of the years, touting it as:
"Marie Rasputin, the daughter of a mad monk, famous for his exploits in Russia!».
They said that one of her famous "Rasputin" look is enough to stop any predator.
Soon young tamer American entrepreneurs interested in, and Marya, after moving to the United States, began to work in the circus Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey, as well as in a circus Gardner.
Arena also left only after her once wounded polar bear. Then, all the newspapers are talking about a mystical coincidence: the hide of a bear, which was killed Rasputin fell, too, was white.
Later Matrona moonlighted as a nanny, a nurse at the hospital, gave Russian lessons, met with the journalist who wrote a great book about his father called "Rasputin. Why? ", Repeatedly published in Russian.
G. Matrona died in 1977 in California of a heart attack on 80-year life. Grandchildren her and now live in the West. One of the granddaughters, Laurence Io-Soloviev, who lives in France but often in Russia.
Laurence Io-Soloveff (Laurence Huot-Solovieff) - granddaughter of G.Rasputina.
I - the daughter of Grigori Rasputin.
Matrona baptized, home called me Maria.
Father - Marochko. Now I'm 48 years old.
Almost as much as my father was,
when he led home a terrible man - Felix Yusupov.
I remember everything, and never tried to forget anything
of what was happening to me or my family
(no matter how it is calculated on the enemies).
I do not cling to memories, as do those,
who tend to relish their misery.
I just live by them.
I am very fond of his father.
As much as others hate it.
I have not the strength to make others love it.
I do this and do not seek, nor sought his father.
Like him, I want to just understand. But I'm afraid - and that too, when it comes to Rasputin.
