The Vengeance of Rasputin’s Daughter – A Dark Retelling of the Romanovs’ Fall

Once shrouded in the silence of forgotten history, one girl’s darkness reawakened the truth.

In the chilling depths of the Russian winter, hidden between the lines of textbooks and shrouded in mystery, lies a tale few dare speak aloud. The story doesn’t begin with Anastasia, nor with the fall of the Romanovs—but with a daughter, abandoned at birth, who grew up nursing a fury colder than the Siberian wind.

I discovered it by accident. A torn page from a diary, tucked into a hollowed-out book in my grandmother’s attic, and scrawled in faded ink that carried the weight of generations. That diary revealed the true fate of the Romanovs—a tale the history books lied about.

June 20, 1918

Last night, I slept soundly. As strange as it sounds, there’s comfort in revenge. I dreamt of my father—Grigori Rasputin—and I know he would be proud. Where he failed to bring down the Romanovs, I succeeded. I did what even bullets had feared.

They never saw it coming. After years in exile, I returned—disguised as a seamstress in service of Grand Duchess Anastasia. I gained their trust, smiling with poisoned politeness, and waited patiently for the perfect moment.

And then, I struck.

They were lured quietly into the meat cellar, a grim place dripping with fresh blood from pigs hanging above. It was symbolic, really—the mixing of royal blood with the blood of the beasts. Poetic justice. And it began with Anastasia.

I chanted the Song of Chernobog, the dark god whose power had merged with mine. A lullaby of pain. She screamed until her voice was raw, tears of crimson leaking from her eyes, her limbs convulsing in agony. And one by one, I brought the rest of her siblings into the same nightmare.

Then came Mother.

“Why are you doing this?” she whispered, her voice barely more than a gasp.

“Because you left me to rot,” I replied bitterly. “You abandoned me, pretended I was dead, and let the world believe it. But I am Rasputin’s daughter—and this is my retribution.”

She winced, but I had no mercy left.

I turned to the Tsar, Nikolai, who backed away, trying to appear brave.

“Are you afraid, dearest Nikolai?” I asked mockingly.

“Just get it over with,” he said coldly.

But I wasn’t going to grant him such ease.

I changed the melody of my spell, watched his skin turn ashen, his breath slow until his cheeks hollowed. He sagged to the floor like a forgotten statue of power, his eyes wide with dread.

“What more could you possibly do to me?” he croaked.

I smiled. “I’m going to let you live—just long enough to feel the despair you gave my father.”

Days passed. When I returned, my mother was shivering in her cell, her hunger overriding her pride.

“Eat it,” I ordered, handing her a bowl of steaming stew.

She devoured it.

“Did you enjoy it?”

“Yes… thank you.”

“I’m glad,” I whispered. “Because you just ate your family.”

Her face paled as the words hit. She screamed and vomited, but I had sealed the stew with an enchantment. It would stay within her—a final torment.

For the next twelve hours, the only sounds echoing through the palace were my chant and her shrieks. And I smiled.

History remembers the Romanovs as victims of revolution. But I know the truth. The last heir of Rasputin rose not in madness, but in justice. My love for my father was dark—but it was strong. And through that love, I changed history.

Forever.

Moral of the Story:

Hatred born from abandonment can twist even the purest love into something monstrous. True strength lies in forgiveness, not vengeance.
