Appearance of the Dancer
Original
The dancer is a man wearing a traditional Russian costume. He has a beard, he is wearing a Papacha, a Russian cap. He also has a dark green jacket with a red scarf, violet pants, and black boots are also worn.
After the coach performs his Gold Move, an effect that overlaps frames of his silhouette is applied on him.

Trivia
General
- Rasputin is the first song by Boney M. in the series.
- The song is cut off right before the line "Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia’s greatest love machine, And so they shot him til' he was dead".
- This was probably caused by the fact that this lyric is inappropriate.
Routine
- In the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the color of the ground has been changed from white (as in Just Dance 3 on that console) to bluish in order to prevent the lyrics from blending into it.
- This makes Rasputin the only routine to receive graphical updates from Just Dance 3 to Just Dance: Greatest Hits.
- The coach resembles Grigori Rasputin, a Russian historical figure whose life is told in this song.
- The choreography is heavily inspired by the Kozachok, a traditional Ukrainian dance.
- As seen in a picture, the coach’s boots were initially green instead of black-green.
- One of the pictograms in the pre-remake version has a double-headed arrow. Unlike other songs from Just Dance 2 that were recycled for Just Dance 3, Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, Just Dance Now, or Just Dance Unlimited, this was not changed or replaced by a different pictogram in the latter two games.
- This also happens with Toxic and Mamasita.
- However, before the release of Just Dance 2020, all the pictograms were completely remade.
- This also happens with Toxic and Mamasita.
- In the Just Dance 2 menu icon, the coach’s face, cap and beard have a red outline.
- In Just Dance 2, the props on some pictograms are yellow instead of red.
- This was fixed on the Wii versions of Just Dance 3, Greatest Hits and Best Of, as well as in the remake.
- The background reappears in Spice Up Your Life.
- The coach is a returning dancer on four different songs throughout the series, namely Just Dance (as a stained window), Hungarian Dance No. 5 (P2), Y.M.C.A. (P1), and Sugar (P2).
- A picture of the routine appears in the background of the Tutorial mode from Just Dance Wii 2.
- On the Just Dance 2015 version of the avatar, the mouth is comparatively closer to the mustache.
- The coach makes a cameo appearance in the background of Uptown Funk.
- The remade coach presents slight differences between Just Dance Now and Just Dance Unlimited: in the former game, he is the same size as his original version and his glowing outline fades towards his feet; in the latter, he is slightly smaller, and his glow is thinner and does not fade.
- In addition, his color scheme and his textures are all retained from the original version in Just Dance Unlimited (as opposed to Just Dance Now, where he has been given several changes).
- As of, October 17, 2019, the pictograms and the album coach have been updated in Just Dance Unlimited.
- In All Stars Mode, the planet displays the Just Dance Now version of the coach, even though the video file is from the Just Dance Unlimited servers.
