“Everyone discussed Rasputin’s mysterious disappearance. Some did not believe him to be dead, and said that all the rumors afloat were pure inventions; some, claiming to have it on the best authority, from eyewitnesses even, declared that the streets had been assassinated during an orgy at the gypsies’; others stated that Rasputin’s murder had taken place at the Moika. Although no one thought I had taken an active part in the assassination, they were all convinced that I knew the particulars and hoped that, if enough questions were fired at me, I would give myself away. But I managed to look unconcerned, and took part sincerely in the general rejoicing.”-Prince Felix Youssoupoff, Lost Splendor -- source link
