Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov, Count Sumarokov-Elston
(Russian: Féliks Féliksovich Yusýpov Count Sumarokov-
Elston, [1] March 23, 1887, St Petersburg, Russian
Empire - September 27, 1967, Paris, France), was best
known for participating in the murder of Grigori Rasputin,
the faith healer who was said to have influenced decisions
of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsaritsa Alexandra Feodorovna.
Felix Yusupov was never punished for this murder, well-
known at the time, and a significant part of widespread
Rasputin imagery was created by his own publications which
demonized his victim.
