Coming up this week, a double episode looking at the eccentric, charismatic and opportunistic figure that was\u2026. Grigori Rasputin. Born a peasant in the Siberian wilderness, Rasputin expertly grasped opportunity to become one of, if not the, most powerful man in Russia.

In this double episode, I\u2019ll explore Rasputin\u2019s life, how he rose to power and prominence by being in the right place at the right time, and how his life was cut short by those who feared that the master opportunist had gone one step too far and burned one bridge too many.

Part 1 will be released on Monday September 9. Part 2 will be released on Thursday September 12.

The Risktory Podcast is created, written and produced by Jacinthe A Galpin.
