The legend of Rasputin’s penis has grown far beyond the jar it is pickled in. After being separated from his body, it was venerated as a fertility talisman, cured impotence, and used in secret rituals. But is this pickled dick really the mystical manhood of Russia’s mad monk?
Quick facts
- Rasputin was murdered on December 30, 1916
- Legend says Prince Felix Yusupov cut off Rasputin’s penis and tossed it away
- The severed penis was taken to Paris where it was worshipped and used for weird cult rituals
- The current owner of the penis bought it for $8,000
- It now resides in the Museum of Erotica in St. Petersburg
- The size of the pickled penis is 12 inches
- It’s probably just a cow penis
Mad Monk in the streets, legend in the sheets
Grigori Rasputin, the Russian “Mad Monk” who served the Romanov family and indulged in legendary debauchery, was rumored to be pretty stellar in bed. So much so, in fact, that one woman claimed to find it so intense and pleasurable that she fainted.
According to the 1978 song by euro disco group Boney M, obviously a trusted source of historical accuracy, Rasputin was “Russia’s greatest love machine.”
It is only natural, then, that after he was allegedly poisoned, beaten, shot, and drowned on December 30th, 1916, Rasputin’s infamous instrument of love would linger on.
The question is, does the mystical genitalia of the scandalous holy man simply exist in legend, or is it really still hanging around?
Don’t lose your head
Mistaken Member
The first phallic object believed to be Rasputin’s penis turned out to be a sea cucumber.
It’s an easy mistake to make – the unfortunately schlong-shaped invertebrates do bear an uncanny resemblance to male genitalia.
But there is another, less sea creature-like contender for the title.
This 12-inch pickled phallus on display at the Museum of Erotica in St. Petersburg, Russia is, according to its owner Dr. Igor Knyazkin, the true mythical member of Rasputin.
This one, like the well-endowed echinoderm before it, is said to have magical properties – such as the ability to cure impotence just by looking at it.
But is it really the fabled Rasputin penis?
Penis Worship
According to rumor, Rasputin’s johnson (cut me some slack, it’s hard finding different words for the male sex organ without sounding like cheap paperback erotica) developed its own cult following in the years after it was said to have been separated from its owner.
Legend says that in the 1920s, Rasputin’s daughter Maria (then a circus performer who later tamed lions with the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus) discovered a group of women in Paris that had been venerating her father’s penis. They believed it could bestow fertility, and they even handed out small pieces of it to those in need.
“And then there is the business of Rasputin’s member, supposedly cut off by [Prince Felix] Yusupov and then gathered up and saved by one of Yusupov’s servants, a secret follower of the starets,” historian Douglas Smith writes in his book Rasputin: Faith, Power, and the Twilight of the Romanovs. “Sometime later, according to this bizarre tale, the severed penis ended up in Paris where a few of his surviving votaries kept it preserved in an icebox, taking it out only for their strange sacred rites. From there, after further adventures, it made its way to the collection of Russia’s first museum of erotica in Petersburg, a hideous hunk of graying flesh suspended in a jar of formaldehyde.”
Dr. Knyazkin says he bought the penis in a wooden casket from two French antique dealers in 2000 for $8,000.
According to these dealers, the organ was cut off and taken to France by a fanatical follower.
Maria eventually discovered it and took possession of it. But when she needed money in the 1970s, Maria supposedly sold it.
As Smith notes, however, according to 1917 accounts by Dmitry Kosorotov, who performed the autopsy on Rasputin after his badly mutilated body was dragged out of the Malaya Nevka River, Rasputin’s genitals were entirely intact and undamaged.
“I am 99 per cent sure it is real,” Knyazkin told the media after he purchased the pickled penis.
Rasputin expert Eduard Radzinsky wasn’t so sure.
“Stories about Rasputin’s penis started almost immediately after his death,” Radzinsky said. “They are all myths and legends.”
That begs a follow-up question:
If Rasputin really did take his manhood to the grave with him, then whose penis is floating in the jar at the Museum of Erotica?
Well, it hasn’t been tested so no one knows for sure, but some suspect it’s not even human. The general consensus, it seems, is that this 12-inch masterpiece of mystic man meat is actually bovine.

I challenge him to a sword fight
No one going to bother with a DNA test? Even if they don’t have HIS dna, they can rule out the bovine theory.
Yes, but how big was it. Like in Imperial Units, how many? Bigger than me?
And the “historical Boney M account” goes on to say:
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
You’re a great example to others.
So majestic!
