My take and theories (Destiny)

I interpreted it more as Rasputin emulating the Darkness, not joining it; after all, the writer says that IT is alone.

If I had to make conjecture, I'd say that Rasputin still wants to defeat the Darkness, but is no longer really concerned about anything else, such as the fate of humanity or the Traveller.

Upon review you might have a point. This passage especially:
"IT is alone and IT is strong and IT won. Even over the gardener and she held power beyond me but the gardener did not shrug and make herself alone. IT always wins."

Rasputin does seem to be drawing the conclusion that being alone is the key. However, this still does not reconcile how Rasputin, who acknowledges that the Darkness is well beyond his power, could hope to defeat him. And again, he doesn't claim to be able to defeat the Darkness or become more powerful, only to "Win".
