Funny, there's an interesting blog post (as Djchrismac noted) about this controversy. I was surprised when I read that "Rasputin was [supposedly] the reincarnation of Vlad III the Impaler (Dracula)".[1] If this is true, then David/Rasputin would have to be related to Princ Charles. Namely, according to his own words, "the genealogy shows that [Charles] descended from Vlad the Impaler",[2] and his "duty is to save the world".[3]

If you read the Wikipedia entry on
Rasputin, you can find additional similarities between the two of them:
It has been argued[6] that Rasputin helped to discredit the tsarist family, leading to the fall of the Romanov dynasty in February 1917.
This reminded me on the "gnostic Illuminati self-described Grand Master Alexander Romanoff" (spelled also Romanov), who appeared in a few videos with Benjamin Fulford, who in turn was interviewed by David a few times.
[...]was considered a "strannik" (or pilgrim) wandering from cloister to cloister. [...] His experience there, combined with a reported vision of the Virgin Mary on his return, turned him towards the life of a religious mystic and wanderer.
David, as a "Wanderer"?
He was regarded as a starets, an "elder", a title usually reserved for monk-confessors by those believing him to be a psychic and faith healer.
David as a psychic, who "healed" people with his "readings".
Rasputin was obsessed by religion and impressed many people with his knowledge and ability to explain the Bible in an uncomplicated way.
David, as a (devout?) follower of the Law of One (I hope it won't become a religion, if it hasn't already.). People like to read and listen to him explaining TLO - he presents it in a very attractive manner.
When he was around the age of eighteen, Rasputin spent three months in the famous Verkhoturye monastery, maybe as a penance for theft.
This reminded me on a passage from his book Wanderer Awakening, in which he mentioned that he wanted to enrol himself into a school of metaphysics, but at the end he was not admitted.
Not far from the monastery, Rasputin visited a holy man named Makariy, whose hut was situated nearby. Makariy had an enormous influence on Rasputin, and then later modelled himself largely on him.
Daniel, perhaps?
Rasputin gave up drinking alcohol and eating meat.
David did that after he quit smoking pot and getting more involved in metaphysical research.
In 1901, he left his home in Pokrovskoye to become a strannik (or pilgrim) [...]
If I remember it correctly, in search for answers, David left NY, moved to Kentucky, then Virginia Beach and finally to L.A.
Assassination attempt
According to David, his life was threatened after he started writing Financial Tyranny.
According to Rasputin's daughter, Maria, Rasputin did "look into" the Khlysty sect, but rejected it.
According to his Readings section (I can't find it in through the search engine), David was thinking about joining the Masons to find out what they are up to, but his readings advised him not to do it. He was also supposedly asked to join (or was offered a bribe by) the Illuminati, but he rejected them, if I'm not mistaken.
Rasputin’s murder was arranged by freemasons
[...]
He's supposed to be fighting them...
In addition to that, David has been promoting the work of certain Russian scientists since he started researching metaphysics, wrote about the New Kremlin (relying on Peter Beter's testimony), and appeared in a 6-hour Russian documentary in January 2013.
BTW, the Warner Brothers is going to make a
movie about Rasputin, with Di Caprio as the main actor.
