How much did this guy contribute/help the Soviet Revolution become a thing? Could it have happened without him? Or did he merely speed up the happening? Or is he just a meme tier charterer.
He sped it up.
The fault of the Russian Revolution wrests firstly on the predecessors of Nicholas II (mostly Alexander III and Nicholas I) who squandered opportunities to reform and create a sustainable modern constitutional monarchy. They also brainwashed Nicky (a man-child) into thinking he alone should rule and autocracy was necessary for the survival of Russian peoples. Nicholas II as a result constantly fucked up and blocked reformers at every turn and his stubbornness basically created a ticking time bomb that would destroy him at any moment (first in 1905, then in 1917 when it finished him off).
Rasputin did a lot of damage to the Monarchy's image among the commoners, who thought the Tsar was a "cuck" to put in modern terms for letting this guy hang around his wife and wield so much influence. He also caused domestic chaos among Russia's government through Empress Alexandra while Nicky was off losing WW1. But by this point (really by 1905) the monarchy had little chance of surviving anyway, and Rasputin was just a symptom of the disease. The urban working class and intelligentsia became fed up with the Tsar after 1905, the peasants during WW1.
Rapustin showed the nobles could care about commoners, so really he was an obstacle
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher, full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher women would desire

This basically.
The Revolutionaries couldn't get to Nicholas II directly, so they attacked Alexandra and by proxy Nicholas.
