She foresaw the Chernobyl disaster, the collapse of the USSR and the death of the Kursk nuclear submarine. The famous Bulgarian clairvoyant Vanga was asked for help not only by artists or politicians, but also by representatives of the special services. It was believed that her prophecies almost always come true. Recently, a video with her forecast made in 1979, when she predicted the rise to power of Vladimir Putin and the associated strengthening of Russia's position in relation to other countries, scored millions of views on the Internet.
Predictions for the Tsar and the Fuhrer
Her full name is Gospel (translated from Greek - "good news"). She was born in 1911 in the family of a poor Bulgarian peasant. At the age of 12, the girl lost her eyesight: after a strong hurricane, Vangu was found unconscious, covered with branches and stones, and her eyes were clogged with sand.
Later, the future fortune teller studied at an institution for the blind, where she gained skills in housekeeping and reading using Braille.
The prophetic abilities of the girl fully manifested themselves during the Second World War, when she began to accurately predict the location of the missing or the burial of the dead. The fame of the fortuneteller quickly spread throughout the country. In 1942, the Tsar of Bulgaria Boris III and a certain high-ranking German with short mustache met her. According to many researchers, it was Adolf Hitler, who was fond of paranormal phenomena and it was at this time that he visited Bulgaria and Greece in search of traces of the Holy Grail. According to another point of view, Hitler did not meet with the soothsayer, but sent his representative to her, perhaps even a double.
The clairvoyant predicted to Tsar Boris III that he would lose power over his state. And to a high-ranking German, who was accompanied by numerous guards, Wanga said that Germany should leave the Soviet Union alone, otherwise it would lose the war.
In response, this man, Hitler or his representative, began to ridicule the clairvoyant, saying that a real soothsayer cannot live in such poverty and that her prophecies are unlikely to come true. Vanga asked that one of his entourage go to a house on a nearby street - there, after a while, a mare will foal. The soothsayer described in detail what the newborn foal will be like.

The Germans visited the said house. Everything happened there exactly as Wanga said. However, as you know, the Fuhrer did not believe her prediction about the fate of Germany.
The pop king with an iron stick
After the war, Wanga received many visitors, helping them to identify illnesses or find missing relatives, as well as predicting their future. She herself could not accurately explain the manifestation of the gift, saying only that all the information she was prompted by some invisible creatures living around. The women who helped her (in particular, her niece Krasimira Stoyanova) were sure that Vanga communicated with the souls of the dead, from whom she received all the necessary information. After each clairvoyance session, the woman felt a breakdown, she needed time to recover.
In 1967, the Bulgarian authorities formalized Vanga as a civil servant. She began to receive an official salary of 200 leva per month, and uniform tariffs were established for visitors: 10 leva for citizens of socialist states and 50 dollars for residents of Western countries. Before that, the healer accepted everyone free of charge, however, she did not refuse gifts that could be presented to her - but she did not insist on them either.
It is known that Vanga dreamed of visiting Paris, but the Bulgarian government forbade her to travel abroad - she was a source of, albeit not too large, but stable state income, which no one was going to give up.
The story has repeatedly appeared in the media about how in 1971 the singer Bedros Kirkorov brought his four-year-old son Philip to Vanga. The boy was very ill, and his father wanted to know the exact diagnosis. Wanga said that Philip will soon recover, and predicted a brilliant career for him, explaining that in the future she sees him with a metal stick surrounded by admiring people. Later, Philip's parents realized that the soothsayer called the microphone with an iron stick, and admiring people were the audience. At the same time, Wanga predicted that Philip, at the age of 27, would marry a woman whose name begins with the letter "A", and at 44 he would have a daughter (this really happened - from a surrogate mother).
In 20 years, Kursk will be under water …
Vanga was able to predict many events: the death of Stalin, the victory of Boris Yeltsin in the presidential election, the September 11 attacks in New York, and even the fact that a black man will become the 44th US president.
In 1980, the soothsayer announced that in 20 years Kursk would be under water and the whole world would mourn it. Then these words seemed ridiculous - how can a large city, located far from the sea, suddenly find itself under water? And only in August 2000 the prophecy acquired its terrible meaning - when the nuclear submarine "Kursk" perished.
Many of Vanga's predictions were related to the Soviet Union and Russia. In particular, she repeatedly spoke about the collapse of the USSR - and the revival of a new Russia. According to the clairvoyant, 2012 will be the most difficult year for this country, after which it will begin the path to better life and spiritual enlightenment of all mankind. This will be facilitated by the convergence of three great countries: China, India and Russia.
The fortuneteller claimed that her conversations with the spirits predicted strength and prosperity for our country, moreover, Russia is the only state capable of uniting the rest of the peoples of the world.
Glory to Vladimir
The clairvoyant made a prophecy related to the activities of Vladimir Putin in 1979. At the same time, the Soviet writer Valentin Sidorov was present, and Vanga's assistant Vitka Petrovsky made the recording on camera. Thus, in addition to eyewitness accounts, we have documentary footage that speaks of this forecast.
The words of the prediction were approximately the following: what was united will crumble to pieces, and it will be next to Russia. Everything will melt like ice, but the glory of Vladimir will remain. Now Russia is called the Soviet Union, and the time will come - and we will call it in the old way, as under Sergius of Radonezh. There will be many casualties on the way to Russia's revival, but no one can stop this country. Even America recognizes her spiritual superiority. And this will happen earlier than 60 years from now.
At the end of her prophecy, Wanga drew a large circle with her hands and said:
- Russia will again become a great empire, but above all an empire of the spirit.
Of course, at that time, the record of such a prophecy could not become publicly available - the mention of the inevitable collapse of the USSR was too obvious. The words of the clairvoyant, whose predictions were famous for their accuracy, were passed from mouth to mouth and discussed in a narrow circle of people who trust each other.
If everything looked clear with the fate of the USSR in Vanga's words, then the mention of the name Vladimir raised questions - after all, then no one knew that there would be a presidential office in Russia, and even more so which particular person would take it. There were versions that we are talking about the teachings of Lenin or about Christian morality, the spread of which was initiated by Prince Vladimir. But even then, most researchers were inclined to think that we are talking about the coming reign of a politician with that name: after all, the fortuneteller made it clear that the forecast concerns our future state and, therefore, the person who will head it.
In addition, Valentin Sidorov, in his book "Lyudmila and Vanga", recalls some details of the prophecy that did not appear on the film. In particular, they talked about the possibility of a nuclear war. And Wanga said that there would be no such war, that the old leaders would peacefully retire, and new ones would come to replace them, and a strong ruler would appear in Russia.
Comparing these words with the statement about the future glory of Vladimir, we can conclude that it was undoubtedly about the current President of the Russian Federation.
America's unenviable fate
Shortly before her death, in 1996, Vanga made another famous prophecy about Russia. It was published in the press from the words of the then-vice-president of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Yuri Sakharnov, who visited the fortuneteller (Duma newspaper, August 12, 1996). In addition, the clairvoyant, who was diagnosed with breast cancer, instructed the already mentioned assistant Vitka Petrovski to write down everything she said, with the condition that these records will be made public no earlier than 2010. Petrovsky's notes coincide with Sakharnov's memories - this confirms the fact that the prediction was indeed made.
Vanga said that a new leader will appear in Russia, he will rule for a very long time. Our country will begin to rebuild the former Soviet Union, but in a different form. The Slavic states, which for a while turn away from Russia, will later join her again. Russia will not deviate from the path of reforms that will lead to an increase in its strength and prosperity. As for other great countries, China and India will closely cooperate with Russia, and the United States will cease to exist as a single state in the future.
Thus, according to Vanga's predictions, Vladimir Putin should lead Russia to glory and prosperity, as well as unite all Slavic peoples. The forecast is undoubtedly favorable for the inhabitants of our country - even more so? that the clairvoyant was very rarely wrong.
