Throughout history, prominent figures have been targeted for assassination. And if it occurred during the 20th century, it's more than likely the CIA was involved somehow. But some historical figures were able to survive numerous assassination attempts, some through skill and others by dumb luck. Some survived dozens of assassination attempts while others survived hundreds.
Some people, like Rasputin, have gone down in history as being notoriously difficult to kill. But some of the numerous assassination attempts on his life might actually be a myth. It's suspected that Putin has also been the target of numerous assassination attempts, although clearly Putin himself has been much more successful.
