Marjane Satrapi says
There is but only anecdotal evidence…but even that sort of evidence becomes futile if not investigated.
Desert Wisdom says
Rasputin was not someone holy, although he did perform healings, he was given supernatural powers early in his youth (where he got them from I do not know) and showed interest in the monastic life, he then joined the cult of Flagellants who thought the only way to reach God was through sinful actions, and the only reason why the Russian Orthodox Church didn't excommunicate him was because of his close relationship to the Tsar and his wife.
P.S. What kind of proof would you like? A video? This was in the late 1800's…..

There is none–that's why he was regarded as a fraud then and now.
