Rasputin’s Penis: Hoax or Not?
The Russian Museum of Erotica, newly opened in St. Petersburg, has been crowing about its acquisition of the penis of Rasputin (the mad mystic and lover of the wife of the Russian Tsar). A photo accompanying the many news reports about this unusual exhibit shows an attractive young woman staring rather in awe at the huge, grotesque thing as it floats in formaldehyde (there's another picture here). It definitely looks like a penis, but is it Rasputin's penis (which, according to legend, was 13 inches long)?As it turns out, Rasputin's penis has had a rather colorful history since its separation from his body. Here are some of the highlights. In 1916 Rasputin and his penis parted ways due to the machinations of a murdering gang of angry nobles. But, according to rumor, a maid found the bodiless member at the crime scene and saved it. During the 1920s a group of Russian women living in Paris acquired it (or acquired something that they believed to be his penis) and worshipped it as a kind of holy relic, while keeping it inside a wooden casket. Rasputin's daughter, Marie, didn't like the idea of her Dad's penis hanging out with these women, so she demanded the thing back. And it presumably stayed with her until she died in California in 1977. It then disappeared for a while until it came into the possession of Michael Augustine, who found it tucked away in a velvet pouch along with some of Marie Rasputin's manuscripts that he bought at a lot sale. Augustine sold the well-travelled penis to Bonham's auction house who then discovered (surprise, surprise!) that what they had bought was not a penis, but instead a sea cucumber.
That's where events stood in 1994. Now, ten years later the Russian Museum of Erotica is claiming that they have Rasputin's penis. Igor Knyazkin, the director of the Museum, claims that he bought it from a French antiquarian for $8,000. Which just begs the question: where did this French antiquarian get the penis from? One might also wonder why the Museum's penis is preserved in fluid, whereas all early accounts of Rasputin's penis describe it as dried out.

Man, to mr random two comments above me, you need to calm down. Very good facts though, I knew it was clearly a penis but wasn't quite sure if it was a human's or a horses but I'm no penis expert so you can't blame me. Thank god to having the cockolagist though, a seemingly experienced and well educated man in the anatomy of mamal penises we now know who to turn to if we're curious of looks, size, girth, or even taste differences in the penises of various species. watever, this comment is three years late anyways, but i'll still enjoy the article and laugh at the humiliating dumb arrogance of others.

Rasputin's penis in Russian museum picture hoax or not make up your own mind
Posted by ron in london uk on Sat Nov 14, 2009 at 04:15 PM
I was a student in st.petrsburg in russia, when in 1997 on a trip to one of the museums our russian teacher showed us the preserved 12" penis of rasputin , so this story of an erotic museum opened in 2004 having it is news to me. It was already in one of the museums when I was at uni

^Bullshit, dimithri. Somebody lied to you. Or you're lying to us. Take your pick.

That thing, what ever it really is, it's highly unlikely that it is Rasputin's, even if it is a dick. Also, about a quarter of it appears to be "guts". What would normally be the internalized portion of the cock. Thus, making it's true length nothing impressive. Again, assuming it's even a human dick as all.
I really believe it's just a ploy to get national attention focused on this little erotic museum.

Yeah...I don't bother you all...if God has created someone's dick big and long enough before why we don't accept that was a Rasputin's dick...you tell me? Rasputin was God's creature too with some plus tools within his body!?????

"Is this really that hard?" lol
Actually, after all that time, I'm not so sure any usable DNA could be had from that soggy old thing. It could be broken down by now.

how many long the rushputin's penis
Posted by jhone in bangladesh on Fri Feb 19, 2010 at 07:40 AM
There's some pecker-lengthening surgery that involves cutting a tendon that ordinarily holds the last 1-2" inside. There's obviously nothing left of Rasputin's "inside" anymore. .
Posted by French maid costume in US on Fri Mar 26, 2010 at 10:56 PM
personally I think it looks rather small...
Posted by Felix in UK on Mon May 03, 2010 at 10:23 AM
Tut-Tut Felix! jealousy in a man is SO unattractive...when I last saw yours there was no comparison ... have you had surgery?
Posted by EveUK in London on Wed May 26, 2010 at 12:35 PM
People are really arguing over a penis. Wow. Internet Fight!!!
Either way it is not real. So it's over.

Any woman in this fake world wants to see how the male organ was...........she has to visit Athen's museum and stay in front of a marble statue.

There's a penis named Elmo that belongs to a penis museum in Iceland. This photo of Rasputin's dick doesn't look anything like Elmo or any other Human dick. The one in the jar, claiming to be Rasputin's is way too tapered. Aren't most Human penises more cylindrical, with the sides parallel? Sure, the heads are tapered or cone-shaped. But aren't the shafts or bodies of the penis about the same diameter the whole length?
The one in the jar looks bogus.

The one in the jar looks bogus.
Too bad the museum isn't in St. Petersburg, FLORIDA!
Posted by Peter Meder in St. Petersburg, FL on Sat Sep 25, 2010 at 10:26 PM
right, in the jar that penis must be soft becuase having a boner while detached from your body but be impossible. so i 13 inch flaccid penis...
yer right!

Posted by vink on Sun Nov 14, 2010 at 04:56 PM
it's not a penis it's a dead midget baby,
but it is frequently mistaken for that, and for
a Canaanite
