- Daughter of Grigori Efimovich Rasputin (1872-1916).
- Sister of Dmitri Rasputin (1897-1937), Maria Rasputin (1899-1977).
- In 1925, she left Tyumen for Moscow. Through working at her office job, Varvara had contracted a bad case of tuberculosis, which was then succeeded by typhus. The work environment was unsafe, unhygienic, and located in a damp basement. Eventually the Typhus overtook her, and Varvara died alone in Moscow in 1925. No family member was there with her.
- Aunt of Maria B Solovieff (1922-1976).
- The Soviet government renovated part of the cemetery in 1927 to make space for the burials of high-status politicians. While doing this, they uprooted thousands of bodies, and Varvara's was one of them. It is unknown what happened to these bodies that were relocated.
- Life for Varvara changed on Dec. 30, 1916, when several jealous noblemen (led by Prince Felix Yusupov) brutally murdered Grigori Rasputin. Following their father's death, the two girls moved in with their French teacher and were granted 60,000 rubles by the Romanovs. In 1917, their mother and brother returned to Pokrovskoe, and the girls stayed in St. Petersburg.
