In the photo: Julia Vorobyova with her granddaughter.
The X-ray woman Yulia Vorobyova was called the "Donetsk miracle". Its phenomenon was studied by scientists and parapsychologists of all-Union and world congresses. She diagnosed members of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, cosmonauts, French President Mitterrand, Mother Teresa, Pope, famous writers and actors from all over the world. Legends were made about her. Poems and novels were dedicated to her. Dozens of books have been written about her talent. Many years have passed since then. Today Yulia Vorobyova does not communicate with the press, she quietly lives in the suburbs of Donetsk on a modest disabled pension
On March 3, 1978, at the Donetsk mine named after Petrovsky, the crane operator Yulia Vorobyova took over her shift, got into the cab, and pressed the buttons. And suddenly … a crack, a flash, a dull blow - a discharge of 380 volts, experts will later estimate.
Vorobyova died on the spot. Her body was taken to the morgue. Two days after the tragedy, trainee students led by the course curator came to the hospital morgue. “Cut off the little toe,” the course leader pointed to the corpse of the crane operator to one of the guys. In a moment, blood gushed from the severed little finger …
On the same day, all of Donetsk was discussing a fresh sensation: a woman who died from an electric shock came to life. Vorobyova spent almost a year in hospitals. And when I went out for the first time, I almost lost my mind. She saw the organs of passers-by as if on an X-ray machine.
Since then, a new life has begun for Yulia Fedorovna.
It was examined by scientists from all over the world, it “scanned” Yuri Andropov, Boris Yeltsin, Mikhail Gorbachev and Viktor Chernomyrdin, the entire composition of the Soviet Politburo and the first cosmonaut corps. She made diagnoses to Soviet pop stars, film and theater actors. The woman has never been wrong in her predictions.
“Doctors are powerless in my case. Anesthesia does not take me"
Promotional video:
- I'm tired of communicating with people, I don't want more. And I can't. How much energy has given to people over all these years. No wonder they say: you burn yourself, shining on others. After all, I have not dealt with treatment for a long time, I limit myself to diagnostics. Earlier, after each publication, a live queue lined up at my entrance. They came from all over the world! The police were guarding the entrance. But they did not visit me with a sore throat, but with much more serious diseases. The scientists who examined me claimed that during the "viewing" of a person, the work of all organs was inhibited, only the brain and heart functioned. As I “look” at the patient, I immediately feel bad. The research institute revealed that after scanning the patient by me, then for 8 hours, all areas were abundantly supplied with blood. But it is knownthat most of our diseases are due to circulatory disorders. What can I say, she was young, everything seemed curious to me, I didn't think about my health … According to scientists, I have electromagnetic radiation of the millimeter range. I see what ultrasound does not show.
When did you first realize that something was wrong with you?
- After I woke up in the morgue, I was transferred to the traumatology clinic. A woman was lying next to me in the room. Once her relatives visited her. After they left, I burst out: "You will have a funeral soon." And she herself was frightened for what she said. How could I blurt out that? The woman's father passed away the next day. This was the first bell … And when I went out into the street, I looked around - and I felt bad: I saw the organs of passers-by.
It turns out, in addition to the fact that you can see through the internal organs of a person, you can predict some events?
- I didn't do it on purpose. For example, at first I was huddled with my husband and three children in a small “kopeck piece”. In 1984 I was told to see our fellow countryman, cosmonaut Beregovoy, at home. Before his visit, I was visited by the head of the Donetsk administration and was horrified at the conditions in which I live. A couple of days later we were given a new 3-room apartment. And on the eve of the housewarming, I dreamed about our move - I saw the same apartment, house, district. Here's how to explain it? Yes, there are a million such cases. Recently I come to visit my daughter. The whole family is crawling on the carpet, looking for a lost needle. I just looked at the floor and immediately found it. As if someone tells me. I can even read thoughts. Recently in a store I turned to a man: "What do you think of $ 600?" Togo already winced: "I was underpaid for my injuries." And recently I received a call from the Malakhov Plus program. I refused to participate in the program, but by phone I told the presenter about his stomach problems and added which shirt he was wearing at the moment.
Have you conducted more serious experiments in this area?
- It was in France. Serious scientists from different countries put experiments on me. They put 4 photographs in front of me. I had to trace the fate of the person depicted on each card. On the first I saw a man with a cigar. “This man died of AIDS three months ago,” I said. The members of the commission nodded their heads. The second card showed a girl. "She will paint," clicked in my head. That girl grew up and became a cartoonist. The next picture is a woman in a white coat. I immediately saw that the lady was not a doctor, an actress. And again to the point. The last photo shows the face of a smiling boy 6-7 years old. "This baby was born with a developmental abnormality in the upper and lower extremities." And then they stopped asking me questions. That boy was disabled since childhood, was born without arms and legs. Later I found outthat all these cards were scanned - and copies of the photographs should not provide information.
The Japanese conducted experiments. They put a dozen people on crutches in front of me. It was necessary to determine which of them had a false plaster cast. I also had to scan the stomach contents of people. Moreover, it was necessary not only to find out what this or that comrade ate, but what color the plum was eaten or what drink was drunk.
Could you think that this gift will bring you such fame?
- What are you talking about ?! At first, the doctors generally said that I would live no more than three weeks. How shook me! 380 volts! Three days in the morgue. The blood curdled. Such things do not pass without a trace. For 32 years my legs have ached terribly. I am in hellish pain - the soul parted with the body! My circulation is impaired. I have to wear rubber galoshes both in winter and in summer - nothing else fits.
As they say, a shoemaker without boots …
- Doctors in my case are powerless. I was sent for examination to Germany. The doctors threw up their hands: “You cannot be repaired. You can die from painful shock on the table. After all, anesthesia does not work on me. Here the tooth broke, but I cannot go to the doctor - I have no strength to endure the pain. I remember once the ophthalmologist Svyatoslav Fedorov became interested in me. He examined my vision. So his equipment diagnosed that I was blind. Rather, one eye does not see at all, and the other - only 0.003 percent.
Have you gone to doctors who have the same abilities as yours?
- One such healer came to our city. I went, I thought maybe I could help with my legs. He started looking at me: "You have appendicitis." I was surprised because my appendix was excised in 1972. In general, we did not reach my feet like that …
For seven years I served the Ninth Directorate of the KGB
- It is known that there are many charlatans among healers …
“There have always been charlatans. Remember people who did the most difficult operations with their hands? So it was a dramatization, nothing more. And today's battles of psychics are just a show. But now people believe everything. There used to be more skeptics. I had to go through the most difficult tests to prove my worth. In 1993 I was sent to Switzerland for the World Congress of Parapsychologists. There gathered the world's luminaries in the area of anomalous phenomena. The hall accommodated about 7 thousand spectators. A famous sorceress was followed by a 20-meter train, she had a crown on her head. The participants in the experiment had to diagnose the man, determine what was wrong with him. Each of us went on stage and made different assumptions. Nobody noticed, not even the lady with the crown, that the patient's heart is on the right side. I said about it. Explainedthat he has a narrowing of the mitral valve to 2 millimeters. I won first place, received an honorary diploma, and I was invited to Bern to audition for parliament. And later in one of the Swiss cities a monument was erected to me - a sculpture of a woman who “looks” at a girl.
Is it true that you had to revive a person?
- In 1987, I was asked to see the 8-month-old son of a high-ranking official from the Central Committee of Georgia. The boy got into a car accident, fell into a coma. I arrived in Tbilisi. I looked at the child and found a blood clot that prevented the child from living. I worked on that patient for 40 minutes. As a result, the child opened his blood-soaked eyes. Now he is 23 years old, he lives in Russia, he gave many interviews about this. But we never met again. After that incident, the Georgian leadership offered me to stay in Tbilisi. Allocated an apartment in a prestigious area, a summer house on the seashore. But I didn't take advantage of the benefits. It was somehow inconvenient …
You still worked with astronauts?
- The head physician of the Star City Sergey Ponomarev gave me the following recommendation: "No ultrasound can be compared with Vorobyova." For three years, I examined all the astronauts before the flight. After that I was made an honorary citizen of Star City.
You worked at secret facilities … So you gave a nondisclosure agreement?
- I did not give any subscriptions, everything was in words. I kept my promises. For 20 years no one knew about my secret work. But now the time has passed … I was invited to government dachas, for seven years I served the Ninth Directorate of the KGB.
Well, and Yuri Andropov himself was "watched"?
- Andropov, I looked at his state dacha. It was a short conversation. I don’t want to talk about it. What for? I always move away from this topic. This period of my life is unpleasant for me. Even my heart starts to ache when I remember.
Do you have warm relations with any of the famous political figures?
- There could be no special communication with such people. I had 10-15 minutes for an audience. Only with Viktor Chernomyrdin did we find a common language. I arrived at his dacha at 5 pm. And stayed until 4 in the morning. And I am very grateful to the Minister of Defense of the USSR Dmitry Fedorovich Ustinov. Here is how it was. I was often asked to illegally see one of the patients of the Kremlin clinic. The names of the patients were not named. And at that time, very few people were shown on TV, I knew almost no one by sight. They gave me a pass, I went to the hospital - and there everything looked the same, in the same dressing gowns. And so they brought me to Ustinov. He had serious problems with his legs and blood vessels. I looked at it, anesthetized my knees with my hands. He told me about his children, and then I could not resist. Burst into tears. At that time, my son was sent to serve in Afghanistan,and I knew nothing about his fate. Ustinov frowned and said: "Your son will be home on October 16th." I later found out that I had spoken with the Minister of Defense. A month and a half has passed since our meeting. October 16 on the calendar. I already forgot to think about that conversation. And suddenly at 5 am the doorbell rang … The son returned …
But before serving members of the Politburo, you had to somehow prove yourself?
- The best recommendations were given to me by Yulian Semenov. Our meeting with the writer was organized by the head of the 9th department of the KGB at the Intourist hotel in Yalta. I remember we sat down opposite each other. He stripped to the waist. I started watching it. She told about his pressure, about the problematic right kidney … He grinned: they say, the doctors told you about me. And only when I told him about the scar below the waist, he tensed: "Nobody knew about it." Then I watched his daughters. She said that one of them had ingrown nails operated on. She also identified other diseases. Later, my words were confirmed by the diagnosticians of American clinics. After that, we became friends with Semenov. He even dedicated his novel Auction to me and set up an audience with Patriarch Pimen.
As far as I know, you also watched General Romanov?
- Yes, they took me to the Burdenko clinic. But with Romanov, there was initially a desperate situation. I watched Raisa Gorbachev and the Mitterrand couple. I talked with Emmanuel Vitorgan and Alla Balter, with Willie Tokarev and Igor Krutoy, Kostya Raikin and Petrosyan. Lord, to tell about everyone - and a week will not be enough.
With such acquaintances you should have become a millionaire
- What are we talking about! I even bought tickets to Moscow at my own expense. I never asked for money for the treatment. They will give - good, no - don't. Even now, when people ask me: "What do you need?" - I answer: "Yes, nothing." But I have nothing to heat the house for. On disability I get 210 hryvnia - that's 23 dollars. Plus, the minimum pension drips - 630 hryvnia - this is how much people who have never worked receive. And I have been treating people for so many years! Last year, Yushchenko's advisor came to me and promised to take care of an increase in my pension. Cheated. Forgot about me. Okay, the kids are helping. I myself would not have survived on these pennies. And I buried my husband long ago.
- In the 90s, many healers earned crazy money, collected stadiums, performed on TV, charged water …
- I was also offered to earn money in this way. Chumak offered to cooperate. But I can only watch a person individually. Kashpirovsky in one interview called me "freaked out". I'm not offended. I will tell you as a spirit: I bow before his gift. He is a man of the future. Kashpirovsky has a power that has not yet been studied, there is not even a conversation here. He's not a charlatan. I can't even compete with him. But he needs to keep himself under control. We must fight glory …
What can you say about the Bulgarian healer Vanga?
- I never got to Vanga. I had an invitation from both her and Rajiv Gandhi. I preferred a trip to India. What I want to say about Vanga … People come up with a lot. Journalists write about her to earn their living. It is known that the poor woman was simply exploited. She did not know Russian, worked from morning to night, and no one was interested - whether she was full or healthy. Rasul Gamzatov told me that Wanga advised him to hide the manuscripts in the country. He did just that. The manuscripts were all burned down. My friend recalled that huge queues lined up at the reception to Vanga. When she approached her, the healer muttered two words in Bulgarian and fell silent. My friend did not even have time to understand what Wanga said, as the command from her assistants came: "Next." Just the craftsmen were found in time,who have learned to do business with a healer.
Yulia Fedorovna, how did your colleagues treat you?
- Once the rector of the Donetsk Institute of Artificial Intelligence Anatoly Ivanovich Shevchenko invited me to speak before the luminaries in the field of anomalous phenomena. At the end of the event, a famous sorceress came up to me and whispered: "You will die soon, curse on you." Then an old man turned: "I will do so that paralyzes you." I barely made it home that day. I crawled to the bed, and my legs fell apart. All my life, while I was treating, I was persecuted. Nuns came to me, tore the doors off their hinges, and tore off my clothes. Once they almost doused me with acid, and miraculously escaped a car accident.
But your children and grandchildren probably don't need doctors?
- Baby, that's the trouble - I don't see my loved ones at all. This is not given to me. I talked with many elders, they told me that a real healer cannot see relatives. This is probably not necessary. Otherwise, you can go crazy. And I also can't see myself. It seems to me that I have no stomach, no liver, no heart.
Which of the patients was the most memorable?
- Once a married couple came to me who could not conceive a child. The reason could not be identified for many years. I looked at the man, it turned out that he had one hundred percent immobility of sperm due to a blow with a blunt object in the groin area. I processed it for him, and soon they had a son.
In the 80s, at the Institute of Traumatology, I met a woman. She lay motionless. We got to talking. It turned out that her husband had beaten her, there was a rupture of the seventh cervical vertebra. And now she has to spend the rest of her life in bed. I looked at it. I look, and she has a pinched nerve, there is no break. I advised her to have a good masseur. After a month and a half she was already in prison, and six months later she was discharged. It was the poetess Nadezhda Stashevskaya. During the Soviet era, doctors were often mistaken in their diagnosis.
For example, my friend Galina Radenko, a pediatrician from Makeyevka, was diagnosed with stomach cancer. After my scan, it turned out that she has a diaphragmatic hernia, which is causing terrible stomach pains. She was operated on. 24 years have passed since then. She is alive and well.
“There are frequent gatherings of X-ray people throughout the country. Have you been to at least one?
- No, I never went. And why? Now Russian newspapers write a lot about a 12-year-old girl from Mordovia, who diagnoses people. But for this you need to get a medical education. I have devoted many years to fully study human anatomy. Once a famous football player came to this girl. "Which knee is my injury?" - he asked. “Right,” the girl answered without hesitation. The man left. His knees were not injured. But recently this little girl and her mother were given an apartment in Moscow, they were assigned a personal attendant, and a 12-year-old child takes 50 thousand rubles for an appointment. Back in Soviet times, I begged for a room in the capital. They even took me to Chertanovskaya Street, showed me the alleged apartment, promised to draw up the documents. But it didn’t go further than talking … But I don’t know how to ask, to insist.
