Was Rasputin a holy man or a swindler?

He wasn't a swindler because he genuinely believed in his own shtick, however he was no holy man and probably would be committed to a psychiatric ward if he lived today.

I see a pattern many individual spiritualists are proned to make a harem, Ghengis khan was a leader in shamanism, and he was reputed to have over 3000 waifus. But serious ascetics will not do this but the real tricky part is not about how ascetic a monk can be to be true to his own doctrines, in India there are many devil worshippers who castrate themself as a token of devotion. There are also many demonic cultists who also practice asceticism. Rasputin certainly, was not the worst of religious hypocrites, he was just a prototype freelance pornstar who got distracted by religion, he should devote himself to women entirely and disown his religious affiliations. Like many japanese male pornstars, they profess in pleasing the women profilicly in mutual consent and nobody will blame them.

I sent you a comment, but I will just say that I don't know enough about him personally to hold a strong view either way. Sometimes what we know about certain people is what their enemies have written about them.

And now the main piece of that love mashine is exposed in a museum.
