How did Rasputin die?
Grigori Rasputin
According to Rasputin's daughter, Maria, Rasputin did "look into" the Khlysty sect, but rejected it. One Khlyst practice was known as "rejoicing" (радение), a ritual which sought to overcome human sexual urges by engaging in group sexual activities so that, in consciously sinning together, the sin's power over the human was nullified.[50] Rasputin is said to have been particularly appalled by the belief that grace is found through self-flagellation.
