My Pilgrimage to Jerusalem / Mое паломничество в Иерусалим
*** This Ebook is bilingual English/Russian***

There are few figures in history to whom so much research, literary biographies, memoirs, novels and films have been devoted than the Siberian "wise man” Grigory Rasputin (1872-1916). Hundreds of books have been written about Rasputin, but very few people know that Rasputin had a book of his own. My pilgrimage to Jerusalem was published only once in Petrograd in 1915 in a print run of only 50 copies. The book was intended for the sovereign Nikolai II, to whom Rasputin had become close as a healer of the Tsarevich, the Tsar’s son Alexey, who famously suffered from hemophilia. The reasons for Rasputin's pilgrimage to the Holy Land stemmed from a growing dissatisfaction with his influence over the Tsar. Nikolai II proposed that Rasputin leave the capital for a few months, and so in March 1911, Rasputin and a group of Russian pilgrims journeyed out for Jerusalem. The existence of Rasputin's book first came to our attention through a passing mention of it in the memoirs of Liberty Publishing House's author Edward Topol. We located a rare facsimile copy of the book in the archives of the New York Public Library, and decided it was time and a worthy endeavor to reintroduce the work of the mysterious Rasputin. My Pilgrimage to Jerusalem is bilingual English/Russian.

Единственная книга, написанная самим Распутиным! Не много найдется в истории деятелей, кому было бы посвящено столько исследований, беллетризованных биографий, воспоминаний, романов и фильмов, как сибирскому «старцу» Григорию Распутину (1872–1916). Но о том, что у Распутина есть собственная книга, мало кто знает. Эту книгу вы держите сейчас в руках. Книга была издана всего лишь один раз в Петрограде в 1915 году тиражом в пятьдесят экземпляров. Она была предназначена государю Николаю II, вблизи которого Распутин появился как целитель цесареви
