An interesting description I found:

-------------------------------------------------


A wide ear axis (1) stands for a strong dynamic energy (Destructiveness), which also is reflected in a strong vital energy. The tragical circumstances of Rasputin's death illustrate this: after resisting a strong dose of poison, he was shot several times by Prince Yussupov before being slain.
The front is wide and protruding (5): well developed Perceptive faculties, practical mind limited to tangible reality.
The skull becomes narrower towards the top, faculties like Ideality (2) and Spirituality (3) are notoriously absent. Low type without noble aspirations.
The upper back of the head is extremely narrow: the faculties of Conscientiousness and Cautiousness will therefore be very weak. Thus: an audacious person, scrupless, without any conscience.
The upper back of the head is very high (4): Self-esteem, reinforced by a strong Firmness
The skull is ogival shaped, rather than dome-shaped: absence of higher aspirations, low type. Whenever one comes into contact with individuals displaying this cranial configuration, caution should be taken!
The narrow and high back of the skull, as well as the wide ear axis are an atavistic reminder to the skulls of pre-historic humanoids.
This Phrenological description was adapted from Prof. Bouts' Psychognomy, with the kind permission of the author.

The question is if it is a pseudo-science or not

Gregori Rasputin, a Siberian peasant who claimed to have the power of healing and prediction, not only was able to help the tsar's hemophilic son, he was able to influence affairs of state by having the ear of Tsarina Aleksandra. Since Rasputin's influence over the royal couple was believed to be damaging to the Russian monarchy and to Russia, a group of aristocrats murdered Rasputin.

I would say pred. Nordid with Dinarid and Baltid/Osteuropid admixture.

[Gareth]

I heard he had syphilis (reason) which would explain why he grew that scary if you compare pictures.

[Bulair]

I guess he is pontic, at least from what I've read about this subrace.

Grigori Efimovich Rasputin (1869-1916)

Hard to say about a person from the black and white pic who has a beard and long hair... However, East Nordid is visible...
