St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow:

was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible, a deranged tyrant who threw cats and dogs from towers as a child. After the cathedral was built, Ivan had the architect blinded so that he could never create anything more beautiful.
 
Settle down, children, and Uncle Yerg will tell you the story of Rasputin.

The last tsar of Russia, Nikolai the Second, had a son, Alexei, who suffered haemophilia. This disease prevents the blood from clotting, so any slight bump or bruise can lead to life-threatening loss of blood. Doctors had no idea what to do for the boy, so his mother, the Tsarina, asked a friend to secure the services of a wandering mystic named Rasputin.

Rasputin was able to alleviate the symptoms of Alexei's disease. This was seen as miraculous, and as a result Rasputin became a trusted friend of the royal family. However, Rasputin quickly became a controversial figure. Despite his status as a holy man, he had gained a reputation for sexual impropriety (there were accusations that he raped a nun), and drunkenness (he once wet himself on a train, and on another occasion flashed diners at a Moscow restaurant). It was also rumoured that the wives of numerous Russian nobles were having affairs with Rasputin- including the Tsarina herself.

The first attempt on Rasputin's life was at the hands of a prostitute who stabbed him in the abdomen, leaving his entrails spilling from an apparently mortal wound. However, Rasputin recovered, demonstrating his impressive tenacity. Rasputin would prove to be incredibly resistant to mortality.

Rasputin was lured to the palace of a nobleman on the pretence that his wife would be having a party. Once there, the priest was fed poisoned wine and cakes. Rasputin consumed enough cyanide to kill five men without ill effect. Realising that Rasputin would live, the nobleman ran upstairs and grabbed a revolver, then shot Rasputin in the back. When he went to examine the corpse, Rasputin opened his eyes and strangled him, and was shot another three times. The nobles proceeded to beat him with blunt objects. Then, he was tied up, wrapped in a carpet, and thrown into the icy Volga river.

When Rasputin's body was found, it was no longer wrapped in carpet or tied up, and there was ice under his fingernails, indicating that, still alive, he fought free of his bonds, and tried to dig his way back up through the ice, before finally succumbing to drowning.
