Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how Raspoutine appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Samedi, 12 septembre [1914]. Raspoutine, guéri de sa blessure, vient de rentrer à Pétrograd. Il a facilement prouvé à l’Impératrice que sa guérison est un témoignage éclatant de la protection divine. Il ne parle de la guerre qu’en termes voilés, ambigus, apocalyptiques ; on en conclut qu’il la désapprouve et qu’il prévoit de grands malheurs.
