The Moika / Yusupov Palace

The Moika / Yusupov Palace

 

 The Yusupov Palace is famous as the scene of the murder of Rasputin, the supposed miracle healer and adviser to the Tsar, by a group of young nobles in December 1916.  They found him hard to kill: they first fed him with the cakes laced with cyanide, which had no effect then shot him several times and finally threw him into a hole in the ice in a side canal off the Moika River. The murder is represented in a waxworks tableau in the cellars where it took place.
