Comrades,
Dec 30th 2016 is the 100th anniversary of the death/departure of Grigori Rasputin, known as the "Jesus of Siberia' to his followers or scorned as the mad monk who quickened the fall of the Romanov dynasty. IMO, or rather as my own fascination(actually literary aspiration), he could be Jesus who failed his second coming to save the world from a world war after Lucifer tempted him with the vision of the 20th century sex liberation to come and rewarded him with the prodigious sex prowess he was so famous for. Mind you, Jesus, as in his first coming was also subjected to Lucifer's temptation and as a human,he had his free will to choose though he didn't succumb at the mountain top then.
There has been a number of movies with Rasputin as the main theme or one of the characters, mostly played by seasoned actors like Christopher Lee, Alan Rickman. My favorite is Tom Baker(a Dr. Who actor)who really has good facial resemblance of Rasputin.
Seems some yankie evangelists claim Donald Trump is the reincarnation of Jesus, well, I keep my eyes open.
Common Attributes of Rasputin and Jesus:
1)Both were healers,had visions, could perform 'miracles' and were called messiah by their followers
2)both were hard to kill. Rasputin survived eating chocolate cakes laced with enough cyanide to kill a horse, gun shots, stabbing, castration and finally died drowned in icy river.  -------Tom Baker, Alan Rickman, Christopher Lee as Rasputin and the real Rasputin(in B&W)
