Unfortunately there isn’t actually much evidence for this being true, just some stories told by Russian soldiers who already hated and feared the guy. There were a lot of myths around the whole thing that mostly seem to be bs.
Basically “oooh big magician guy … scary, woooo… did you know the youngest daughter survived too?”
That said, I do not believe they attempted any window-hurling, that probably would have been a good test for magical powers.
No way, that would be ridiculous - instead they fall out of the next window down, which is like a totally different window. Possibly somehow along the way they also manage to shoot themselves in the back of the head, before falling out of the next window or down a flight of stairs. It’s still a “suicide” though, if you know what’s good for you (and your family).
Did it ever happen that the same person accidentally fell out of the window multiple times in a row until they got it right?
Well, they tried to kill Rasputin a bunch of times, but never succeeded. I don’t know if they tried the window thing.
