Maria Rasputin, Rasputin's daughter, fled east to Vladivostok after her father's death, and was arrested by the Whites before eventually leaving Russia.

She worked as a cabaret dancer in France, then for the Busch Circus and in one season, she became a lion tamer. She was eventually mauled by a bear and thus left the circus, finding work as a riveter in the US during WWII, before eventually retiring in LA where she eventually died.

Also Rasputin has his willie at three places. No one knows for sure which one is real of two of them, the third one, kept as a relic by some noblewomen, was found to be a well preserved sea cucumber. Maybe none, as it was simply just buried with its owner.

He had a family before his carreer started. In English literature he is often called a monk, but that is a little mistranslation. The Russian term ,,starets" is for wise, elder monks, but also for wandering holy men travelling across the land (common in the pre-1917 Russia), Rasputin was the latter. Staretses typically did not have a family, that is true.

And he didn't have the reputation of being particularly abstinent... ;)
