The first Russian museum of erotica is opening in St. Petersburg, Russian Nezavisimaya Gazeta daily reports. The museum is founded by Igor Knyazkin, the chief of the prostate research center of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.
Knyazkin told the newspaper that museums of sex and erotica exist in many European countries and he wanted Russia to be a civilized country with a view on the future and with correct views on erotica.
There is one exhibit in the museum which makes Knyazkin be especially proud of. This is the 30-centimeter preserved penis of Grigory Rasputin. “Having this exhibit, we can stop envying America, where Napoleon Bonaparte’s penis is now kept. ?Napoleon’s penis is but a small ”pod“ it cannot stand comparison to our organ of 30 centimeters?#148; the head of the museum said.
=> 이 박물관에는 크냐즈킨(박물관 지은 사람 이름)이 자랑스레 여기는 전시품이 하나 있다. 그것은 바로 그리고리 라스푸틴의 30센티미터에 달하는 물건이다. "이 전시품을 가짐으로 인해 우리는 나폴레옹의 물건을 소장하고 있는 미국을 더 이상 질투할 필요가 없게 됐어요. 조그만 번데기에 불과한 나폴레옹의 물건을 30센티미터 짜리와 비교할 수는 없지요(음화화화)."
Rasputin, nicknamed “Mad Monk” by historians was born in 1869 in Siberia, arrived in St. Petersburg in 1911 and within a few years had become one of the most influential men in government circles. His rise to preeminence was due to his close relationship with Nicholas II’s wife, Alexandra. The heir to the throne suffered from hemophaelia, and only Rasputin could stop the boy’s bleeding. Because of this, Alexandra believed he was a holy man sent to protect Alexis and she kept him close by at all times.
However, many historians point to the unusual cult that Rasputin practiced at the Emperors’ court — a strange mixture of Christianity and sexual practices. Many of the noble women were believed to be in sexual relations with Rasputin, possibly including the Empress.
At the end of 1916, a group of aristocrats decided that Rasputin’s influence had grown too great and that he had to be killed in order to save Russia. They lured him to the palace of one of the princes; fed him poisoned cakes and wine, shot him and then threw him into the frozen river.
=> 1916년 말에 한 그룹의 귀족들은 러시아를 구하기 위해선 지나치게 영향력이 커진 라스푸틴을 제거해야 한다고 결심했다. 그들은 라스푸틴을 한 황자의 궁에 유인한다음 독을 넣은 케익과 와인을 먹였으며 총으로 쏜 후 얼어 붙은 강물에 던져버렸다(역주- 여기서 강이란 상트페테르부르크사이를 흐르는 네바강을 말하는 것이오)
ps. 그리고 이 괴승은 자기랑 관계를 가진 여자들의 머리카락을 잘라서 보관했다 하더이다. 이 머리카락들이 담긴 상자를 1977년에 라스푸틴의 집을 철거할 때 땅에서 발견했다 하오.
