A man with a hard spirit, rough, at times insane like Rasputin could love only a perfect, pure, crystalline Vodka; a cereal vodka to be drunk as cold as the Siberia in which he was born, a coherent vodka devoid of any edge, almost sharp.
Russian like the famous monk, his namesake, Rasputin is the most eclectic character who accompanies Corto Maltese in many of his adventures, from the first, a pirate in the Pacific, in the Caribbean in search of a submerged treasure, in Siberia on the threshold of the Russian Revolution, up to last in the mythical disappeared continent of MU.
