House 64 on Gorokhovaya Street is known to anyone interested in the history of St. Petersburg, although it is rarely mentioned in guidebooks. The building was built in the first years of the XX century and did not stand out from others. Grigory Rasputin lived in it, whose life is covered with secrets and all sorts of speculations.

Police agents began to periodically visit Grigory Rasputin's home to expose him. Moreover, they were working undercover, as they say now. Any janitor, doorman, or even a cook could be agents of the secret police, but none of them managed to bring Rasputin out of the blue. After a little while, society was divided into those who worshiped him, considering him a holy old man, and those who hated him with every fiber of their soul.

Over time, the personality of Rasputin became so popular and significant that this extraordinary person began to be called nothing more than “tsar over tsar”, thereby emphasizing the fact that he has a huge influence on the emperor, his family and the state as a whole. Under pressure from public opinion, the apartment on Gorokhovaya Street became known as the “Star Chamber”.

Today, you can get there with a tour and not only learn more about the private life of this extraordinary person, but also personally prove or disprove rumors that the house is still wandering around the house Rasputina.
