Since his death, it's stated that the famous Russian philosopher's penis has been handed down through generations. Since his assassination in 1916 many people have claimed to be the owner of Gregori Rasputin's dick in a jar and it is currently on display at a museum in St. Petersberg, Russia.


While some say it's unlikely to be his real penis, it's alleged that a maid came into possession of his member after his death and that he may have been castrated by his assassins.


Another story claims that one of his many consorts dismembered him after his autopsy. Whatever the story is, people claimed for years that the holy man's schlong was making the rounds long after his death.



The story goes that it turned up in Paris in 1920 where a group of Russian ex-patriates was worshiping it as a fertility idol. After finding out about the strange cult, Maria Rasputin, the philosopher's daughter, put a stop to it. She demanded the member be returned back to its rightful spot between the monk's legs.


However, in 1994 doctor Michael Augustine acquired the penis after purchasing some of Rasputin's belongings from a Russian doctor who had collaborated with Maria Rasputin on a hagiography and had inherited some of her belongings after her death in 1977, which the mystic's penis was part of.



Augustine later sold everything at an auction where tests were done on the alleged 11-inch member, which they claimed was actually a sea cucumber the entire time.


While most gave up the speculation that Rasputin's penis was floating in a jar, a Russian doctor named Igor Knyazkin came into ownership of the object and put it on display at a museum of erotica which opened in 2004 to show off his collection of 15,000 sex objects he had collected over the years.


And there it remains on display for the world. While no tests have been done again, it stands as an homage to the Russian philosopher and the infamous existence that surrounds him.


The most common speculation most professionals have made is that it's most likely the severed appendage of a horse.
