The rapidly developing events of this year: the magnificent Winter Olympics, the unconditional victory of Russian athletes at it, the return of Crimea to Russia, the victory of our hockey players at the World Championships, made many people in our country and abroad take a different look at one sixth of the land. Interestingly, the famous predictors of the past have long spoken about the future of Russia, which will change the whole world - and their predictions are simply amazing...

Great Hyperboreans

Even the Roman physician and astrologer Paracelsus in his Oracles said: “There is one people that Herodotus called the Hyperboreans - the progenitors of all peoples and all earthly civilizations. The current name of the original land of this ancient people is Muscovy.

Hyperborea in their turbulent future history will know a lot - both a terrible decline with a great variety of all sorts of disasters and a powerful great flourishing with a great variety of all kinds of blessings, which will come at the beginning of the XXI century.

The famous American clairvoyant of the 20th century, Jane Dixon, said: “Natural cataclysms of the beginning of the 21st century and all the global disasters they caused will affect Russia the least, and they will affect Russian Siberia even less. Russia will have the opportunity for rapid and powerful development. The hopes of the world and its revival will come precisely from Russia.”

At the end of the 20th century, the Italian sorceress Mavis stated:

“Russia has a very interesting future, which absolutely no one in the world expects from Russia. It is the Russians who will initiate the rebirth of the whole world. And no one imagines how deep these changes will be in the whole wide world, caused precisely by Russia. In Russia, even the deepest province will come to life, a lot of new cities will appear and grow on the very periphery ...

Russia will reach such a uniquely high level of development, which is not now and even by that time will not be in even the most developed state in the world. Then all other countries will follow Russia. The former current Western path of development of earthly civilization will very soon replace the new one, and precisely the Russian path.

Here is such a rare unanimity among predictors from different countries and times ... And this is only a part of such predictions!

Russia is the savior of the world

We already wrote about the forecasts of the famous American predictor Edgar Cayce in the article "". But let us briefly recall some of them:

Casey argued that the US and Europe are facing major changes:

“The earth will be split in the western part of America. Most of Japan must sink into the sea. The upper part of Europe will be changed in the blink of an eye. There will be changes in the Arctic and in the Antarctic, which will lead to volcanic eruptions in hot areas, and there will be a pole shift - such that the cold or subtropical climate will become more tropical, and moss and ferns will grow there.

In addition to natural disasters, Casey also predicted spiritual catastrophes, the destruction of the old world order.

However, according to Casey’s forecasts, it is Russia that is destined for the role of the savior of the new world: “The mission of the Slavic peoples is to change the essence of human relationships, free them from selfishness and gross material passions, restore them on a new basis - on love, trust and wisdom.”

“From Russia will come hope for the world; but not from communism or Bolshevism, no, but from a free Russia. Each person will then live for his brother.”

Casey argued that it was Russia that would lead a new civilization, the center of which would be Siberia and the Far East. Note that he was not alone in saying that Siberia and the East would be the center of the new world.

It is interesting that, indeed, the development of these Russian regions is now proceeding at a high speed, significant funds are being invested there. In the Amur Region, the construction of a new grandiose Vostochny cosmodrome has even begun, from which it is planned to launch launches into near and far space.

Vanga about Russia

The most famous soothsayer Vanga, of course, also did not ignore the future of Russia. In 1979, the Soviet writer Valentin Sidorov visited Bulgaria, where he talked a lot with Vanga, about which he later wrote the book “Lyudmila and Vangelia”. Lyudmila is Lyudmila Zhivkova, the daughter of Todor Zhivkov, who translated the words of Vanga for the Soviet writer and was herself fond of unusual and mystical practices.

In this book, Sidorov cited many of Vanga's statements. Here is what the soothsayer said, for example, about our astronauts. She claimed that they were on a mission of the utmost importance. The missiles they fly clear the space above Russia and sanctify it. Baba Vanga considered Yuri Gagarin a saint. “After he took a fiery death, he became an initiate,” she said. - He is now in his celestial body. His soul is alive and shines like a star over Russia.”

Vanga, according to Sidorov, argued that the main protector and patron of Russia was Saint Sergei (Radonezh). "He is a great prophet and not just a saint, but the main Russian saint." The Bulgarian clairvoyant said that she "hears" his words.

So, Saint Sergei once told her: “There is no such force that could break Russia. Russia will develop, grow, and become stronger.”

Ruler of the whole world

Once Vanga described in great detail the upcoming events that await our country. “Everything will melt like ice; only one thing will remain untouched - the glory of Vladimir, the glory of Russia.

Two points are interesting here - a surprisingly mild and snowless winter this year in many regions, which is a consequence of global warming confirmed by scientists - "everything will melt."

And the fact that in 1979 Valentin Sidorov in his book argued that under Vladimir Vanga means Prince Vladimir, who baptized Russia. It was only after Vladimir Putin became president of Russia that this prediction took on a new meaning.

Vanga developed her idea: “Too many sacrifices have been made. No one can stop Russia already. Everything will be swept away from its path and will not only be preserved, but will also become the ruler of the whole world.

In the word "lord" Vanga put not a political, but a spiritual meaning. She claimed that "the old Russia will return." However, by the word "old" Vanga did not mean a return to the pre-revolutionary order. For example, she spoke unflatteringly about Nicholas II:

"Bad person. He destroyed people, and because of him a great many people were destroyed.

The concept of "old Russia" meant for her a return to spiritual principles. “Now you are called the Union, and then you will be called, as under St. Sergei, Rus.” This is Russia, which is destined to undergo a fiery baptism, and should become, in the words of Vanga, "the ruler of the whole world."

“As an eagle, Russia will soar above the earth and will overshadow the whole earth with its wings. Its spiritual primacy is recognized by everyone, including America.”

But this will happen far from immediately - in sixty years (from 1979). This, according to Vanga, will be preceded by the rapprochement of the three countries. At one point, she said, China, India and Moscow would converge.

Interestingly, just the other day, a landmark contract was signed between China and Russia, which implies long-term cooperation in various industries between our countries.

Less well known is the fact that Russia and India are also negotiating close cooperation - for example, Russia intends to take part in the construction of a gas pipeline to India and other large projects, in addition, the visa regime between our countries is being simplified. So, perhaps, the prosperity of Russia, which various predictors talked about, is just around the corner.

Over the centuries-old history of Russia, many things were predicted for her: from complete collapse to endless prosperity. Predictions were given by professional soothsayers, politicians, and monks.

Nostradamus

Nostradamus has never been to Russia, but he began to make predictions about Russia practically in synchrony. So, he managed to predict some events from the reign of Ivan the Terrible.

First of all, concerning reforms and changes, which were promoted by Archpriest Sylvester (79th quatrain of the 5th century):

Russian faith will be streamlined
With the advent of the great legislator.
The meek priest will ascend and disturb the strong.
However, the monarch will not use his advice for long.

In 1560, Tsarina Anastasia died, which caused a deep psychological break in the Tsar's soul. The Livonian War was lost, Ivan IV married again. Nostradamus writes:

Seven wives and a son died or were killed by a cruel monarch,
There is bloodshed all around, there is no limit to great atrocities.
The fifth wife will be thrown into the lake,
But the eighth will give birth to a son and miraculously survive.

Nostradamus also predicted the events of the church schism of the 17th century. In the 96th quatrain of the 1st century, he wrote:

The one who will be entrusted to remake
Temples and ceremonies, changed for a whim,
Will harm both priests and laity.
Then he himself will be in disgrace.

Peter I not only reformed the entire system of state administration, Peter's reforms became a kind of apocalypse for the "Russian antiquity". Michel Nostradamus predicted in the 59th quatrain of the 1st century:

Exiles expelled from the island
With the advent of a more merciless sovereign
They will be killed and burned in flames.
The rebellious city by the sea is destroyed.

The youngest daughter of Peter I, Elizabeth, arrested the infant Ivan VI and his mother, Anna Leopoldovna. For the royal family, a journey of torment began, which ended in death. Nostradamus foresaw the fall of the power of the infant Ivan Antonovich and dedicated the 52nd quatrain of the 6th century to this event:

Instead of the great one who was doomed,
His daughter will appear, escaped from the dungeon,
The baby will rule for twelve months.
Then he will fall into the fortress, where he will be slaughtered.

According to researchers, Nostradamus also predicted the events of the middle of the 20th century. Quatrain 80, centurion 4 speaks of the beginning of World War II:

The big river has a big ditch, the earth is thrown out,
Fifteen parts divided by water,
The city is taken, fire, blood, screams, battle,
Most of the population in a skirmish.

Only in 1940 did the war started by Hitler become a world war. This year, German troops broke through the Maginot defense line in 15 places - “divided into fifteen parts by water” - and captured not only Paris (“the city is taken”), but the whole country.

Paracelsus

The doctor, alchemist and astrologer Philip Aureol Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim, known to the whole world as Paracelsus, in one of his books "Oracles", containing 300 pages and many prophecies for the whole world until the end of the III millennium, made several sensational predictions about Russia.

Paracelsus traveled a lot in the East, visited Tibet (so biographers think - there is a ten-year period in his life, information about which is not available).

Returning from Tibet, he uttered the first prophecy about Muscovy, as we were then called in the world: “A new huge state will appear on the big mainland. It will occupy almost half of the Earth. This state will exist for a century and it will happen in 400 years.”

He supposedly wrote this in 1522. If you add 400 to 1522, you get 1922 - the year the USSR was founded.

At the beginning of the 16th century, Paracelsus went through Russia to Constantinople. He walked across the Don, because then this path was considered the shortest. There are no facts about what he saw and heard, but after staying in our country, the predictor entrusted Russia with a great mission - the salvation of all mankind. “Muscovy will rise above all states. Not with her hand, but with her soul, she will save the world.”

True, this salvation will happen at the end of the 22nd century. It was then, according to Paracelsus, that terrible events would occur on earth: “The East will rise up against the West, and hundreds of fiery arrows will be released in the East. They will fall and a pillar of fire will rise. It will burn everything in its path."

Researchers of ancient texts are sure that Paracelsus foreshadowed the Third World War between the countries of the West and the East, during which rockets with nuclear warheads will be used: “People will be covered with deep ulcers and scabs. Their souls will rise up. The third part will die.

Paracelsus seemed to know what the consequences of atomic explosions were: he colorfully and terribly wrote that food and water on Earth would be poisoned.

But Russia will save itself and help the whole world to be reborn: “However, some people will be able to be saved. And the ancient people who live in Muscovy will help them in this. In Muscovy, which no one has ever thought of as a country in which something great can happen, great prosperity will shine upon the humiliated and outcast. They will conquer the sun."

Paracelsus wrote: “There is one people that Herodotus calls the Hyperboreans. The current name of this people is Muscovy. You cannot trust their terrible decline, which will last for many centuries. The Hyperboreans will experience both a strong decline and a huge flourishing (...) The Banner of the Cross will be hoisted on one of the mountain peaks of this country.

In addition to the fact that Paracelsus here speaks of difficult times for Russia related to territorial disputes, there is another version of this prediction of Paracelsus: perhaps the second coming of the Savior will happen in the Urals.

“In the very country of the Hyperboreans, which no one ever thought of as a country in which something great could happen, the Great Cross, the Divine light from the mountain of the country of the Hyperboreans, will shine over the humiliated and outcast, and all the inhabitants of the earth will see it.”

Paracelsus believed that this should happen 500 years after his death. Why? After all, Christianity came to Russia much earlier. The golden age, which will bring happiness to all living, according to the ancient predictor, will last from 2041 to 2091. What it will be - many of us have a chance to see with our own eyes.

Abel

During the reign of Catherine II, a seer monk lived in the Solovetsky Monastery, his name was Abel. Abel began to prophesy about the death of the Empress. For his predictions, Abel was imprisoned in the Shlisselburg fortress "under the strongest guard."

After the death of Catherine, who died in strict accordance with the prophecy of Abel, the monk was amnestied by Paul I himself.

The emperor wished to meet with the elder and listen to new forecasts from him. Abel described in detail the death of the emperor, and at the same time the unenviable future of the Romanov dynasty.

“Your reign will be short, and I see your sinful, fierce end. On Sophronius of Jerusalem from unfaithful servants you will accept a martyr's death, in your bedchamber you will be strangled by the villains whom you warm on your royal chest. On Holy Saturday they will bury you… These villains, trying to justify their great sin of regicide, will proclaim you insane, will revile your good memory… But the Russian people with their true soul will understand and appreciate you and will carry their sorrows to your tomb, asking for your intercession and softening the hearts of the unrighteous and cruel. The number of your years is like the count of letters.

The prediction that the Russian people will appreciate Paul I has not yet come true. If a survey were conducted today about the attitude of Russians towards past autocrats, then Pavel would certainly be one of the outsiders.

Abel was released in peace to the Nevsky Monastery for a new monastic vows. It was there, at the second tonsure, that he received the name Abel. But the prophet did not sit in the capital's monastery. Already a year after the conversation with Pavel, he appears in Moscow, where he gives predictions to local aristocrats and wealthy merchants for money.

Having earned some money, the monk goes to the Valaam Monastery. But even there, Abel does not live in peace: he again takes up the pen and writes books of predictions, where he reveals the imminent death of the emperor.

Abel is brought to St. Petersburg in shackles and locked up in the Peter and Paul Fortress - "for disturbing the peace of mind of His Majesty."

Immediately after the death of Paul I, Abel was again released from prison. This time, Alexander I becomes the liberator. The new emperor warily sends the monk to the Solovetsky Monastery, without the right to leave the walls of the monastery. There, Abel writes another book in which he predicts the capture of Moscow by Napoleon in 1812 and the burning of the city.

The prediction reaches the king and he orders to calm the imagination of Abel in the Solovetsky prison. “The Frenchman will burn Moscow under Him, and He will take Paris from him and call him Blessed. But secret grief will become unbearable to Him, and the royal crown will seem heavy to Him. He will be righteous in the sight of God: he will be a white monk in the world. I saw above the Russian land the star of the great saint of God. It burns, it flares up. This ascetic will transform the whole fate of Alexandrov ... ".

According to legend, Alexander I did not die in Taganrog, but turned into the elder Fyodor Kuzmich and went wandering around Russia.

When in 1812 the Russian army surrenders Moscow to the French, and Belokamennaya, as the monk predicted, almost burns to the ground, the impressed Alexander I orders: “Let Abel out of the Solovetsky Monastery, give him a passport to all Russian cities and monasteries, provide him with money and clothes ".

Once free, Abel decided not to annoy the royal family anymore, but went on a trip to the Holy places: he visited Athos, Jerusalem, Constantinople. Then he settled in the Trinity-Sergeeva Lavra. For some time he behaves quietly, until, after the accession of Nicholas I, he breaks through again.

The new emperor did not like to stand on ceremony, so “for humility” he sent the monk into confinement in the Suzdal Spaso-Efimov Monastery, where in 1841 Abel reposed to the Lord. “The beginning of the reign of your son Nicholas will begin with a fight, with a Voltairian rebellion. This will be an evil seed, a destructive seed for Russia. If it were not for the grace of God that covers Russia, then ... About a hundred years later, the House of the Most Holy Theotokos will become impoverished, the Russian State will turn into an abomination of desolation.

Grigory Rasputin

Grigory Rasputin was one of the most mysterious personalities in Russian history, and his clairvoyance became a byword during the life of the "old man". He foresaw the death of the royal family long before it happened. Here is what he wrote: “Every time I hug the tsar and mother, and the girls, and the prince, I shudder with horror, as if I were hugging the dead ... And then I pray for these people, because in Russia they need more than anyone. And I pray for the Romanov family, because the shadow of a long eclipse falls on them.

Rasputin predicted the coming of a new government in Russia: “Darkness will fall on Petersburg. When his name is changed, then the empire will end."

He foresaw the "old man" and his own death. He said that if he was killed not by "simple robbers", but by the nobles - "relatives of the king", then the future of Russia and the royal family would be terrible. “The nobles will flee the country, and the king’s relatives will not survive in two years, and the brothers will rise up against the brothers and will kill each other.”

Rasputin also had man-made predictions. For example this. Researchers believe that here Rasputin is talking about nuclear power plants.
“Towers will be built all over the world ... they will be castles of death. Some of these castles will fall, and rotten blood will flow out of these wounds, which will infect the earth and sky. Because clots of infected blood, like predators, will fall on our heads. And many clots will fall to the ground, and the land where they fall will become desolate for seven generations.”

The death of an empire

It must be said that the fall of the monarchy in Russia and the death of the Romanov dynasty were predicted more than once. When Alexandra Fedorovna (wife of Nicholas II) visited the Tithes Monastery in Novgorod in 1916, the old woman Maria, holding out her hands to her, said: “Here comes the Martyr - Queen Alexandra.”

The already mentioned Rasputin also spoke about the tragic end of the last royal family, but even earlier such predictions were made by the Monk Seraphim of Sarov.

It is known that on March 2, 1855, the wife of Alexander II, Maria Alexandrovna, retold the prophecy of Seraphim of Sarov about the death of the last emperor and his family to her maid of honor Anna Tyutcheva.

The empress herself learned about the prediction from Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich, to whom the elder told his revelations.

Nicholas II, apparently, knew the prophecy of Abel, since, according to the testimony of those close to him, he repeatedly said: "Until 1918, I was not afraid of anything."

The collapse of the USSR

The disappearance from the political map of the Soviet Union was predicted by a variety of people - clairvoyants, holy elders, politicians and scientists. For example, academician A. D. Sakharov warned in 1989 that if the situation in the country is not corrected, this is fraught with separatism and the collapse of the Union. A little earlier, in 1985, Academician Viktor Gelovani predicted the country's development situation for the coming years using computer modeling.

The analysis data identified two main paths - a technological one that promises a powerful industrial and economic breakthrough, and a losing model that could lead to the collapse of the USSR by 1991. It worked out as always.

Edgar Cayce in 1944 predicted the fall of the USSR in a somewhat veiled form. “The 20th century will not have time to end before the collapse of communism will come,” said the soothsayer. “The Communists will lose their power there.”

Edgar Cayce

Let's stick with Casey. It can be called one of the most successful predictors of the 20th century.

Being an excellent doctor, a great soothsayer and a world-famous person, Edgar gave out all his advice, diagnoses and methods of treatment in a state of trance, but he himself did not remember anything from what was said. FROM

Cayce made many prophecies, he predicted both world wars, the rise of China, the discovery of the Qumran scrolls, and much more. He planned his reincarnation for the year 2100.

Many of Casey's predictions also applied to Russia. According to Casey, our country is destined for a great mission: “From Russia will come hope for the world; but not from communism or Bolshevism, no, but from a free Russia. Each person will then live for his fellow man.”

Casey spoke: (reading 3976-10, February 8, 1932). “There is great hope for the world in the religious development of Russia. The people or group of peoples that will be closest in relations with Russia will be able to live better, gradually changing the conditions of life around the world.

On November 29, 1932, Casey said: “Changes are coming, you can be sure there will be an evolution or a revolution in the ideas of religious thought. The foundations for this for the whole world will eventually come from Russia; it will not be communism, but what Christ taught - his kind of communism.

Casey argued that Russia would be the new center of the world. Moreover, at the same time, the Americans and Russia will be friends: “Hope for the world will again come from Russia. Guided by what? Friendship with the people, on whose money it is written: "In God we believe."

"Incessantly crazy girl

Shouted: - Troy clearly see the fallen dust!

But clairvoyants, however, as well as eyewitnesses

Throughout the ages, people have been burned at the stake.”

V.S. Vysotsky, "The Song of Things Cassandra"

Thank God, now is not the time of Troy, and no one burns witches at the stake. In our present time, there are plenty of people who see the future. But do we want to hear them? Here's the question...

Isn't it easier to take the position of the "ostrich" and not know anything in advance? After all, you can't run away from fate...
Or is it still better to know, at least approximately, what lies ahead, and take your own life path, finally turning away from someone else's? At least we have the opportunity to try to do it. As they say, forewarned is forearmed.

Great Foretellers

Nostradamus

The quatrains of Michel Nostradamus can be interpreted, of course, as you please. In the days of the medieval Inquisition, a poor French doctor, in order not to get on that fire, had to veil his predictions. Therefore, we will not find any references to the exact events from him.
And yet, smart people have deciphered what can please us.

For example, Genetic Engineering until the middle of the 21st century will develop by leaps and bounds. What will it give us? Hope. In my opinion, this is the most precious thing that can be given to humanity.
By 2035, doctors will treat malignant oncological diseases at any stage.
HIV-infected people can calm down a little - they will finally find cure for AIDS.
A pill will be invented that can recognize viruses at a distance. That is, we say goodbye to all colds.

Sick people can only wish patience and wait for this wonderful moment.

Vanga

When the question concerns predictions, how can one do without the great Vanga ?! In 2046, she promised us that any organs would be grown, like cucumbers in garden beds. So, there will be no problems with transplantation. And what? Very convenient: something hurts - quickly changed the old organ to a new one and live on!

China will become the world power in the near future. Well, it's enough just to be a seer to predict it.

The polar ice is melting. The level of the World Ocean is rising. We are already seeing this trend.

Our parents witnessed the first manned space flight. And you and I can become not just eyewitnesses of flights to Venus, but also direct participants in travels to the planet of beauty! By the way, according to scientists, it is Venus that is the most adapted planet for human habitation. So let's get ready!

Her more interesting predictions concern subsequent centuries and end in 5079, in which Vanga promises us the end of the world. Well, let's hope we don't live to see that.

Edgar Cayce

Let's read what the most famous "sleeping" predictor of the 20th century, Edgar Cayce, tells us. His predictions, alas, are not as rosy as those of the Bulgarian clairvoyant. According to Casey, our Earth is waiting for endless earthquakes and cataclysms. They will be of such magnitude that they will destroy the continents and radically change the globe. Somehow, everything is unhappy with the American soothsayer. He'd better sleep, by God!

But if you dig, you can find good news here. For example, in his book Memoirs, Casey writes: “The mission of the Slavic peoples is to change the essence of human relationships, free them from selfishness and gross material passions, restore them on a new basis - on love, trust and wisdom ...” So, Slavs, head up!

Great science fiction

What A. Belyaev, I. Efremov, E. Wells, J. Verne and many others wrote about in their magnificent novels is already becoming a reality. Before we have time to look back, Belyaev's Head of Professor Dowell or Wells's The Island of Doctor Moreau will enter our lives and become something ordinary. I generally keep quiet about the Julvernian submarines, they have been in our lives for a long time. And K. Tsiolkovsky, with three classes of education? The then secular society laughed at his ideas about creating space rockets. Fucked up. So don't be surprised if homemade nanofactories become a necessity. They will be able to provide us with everything we need, producing food, clothing and medicine, literally, from waste products.

Biorobots can join habitual pets. These new family members will be able to do all the housework for us, 24 hours a day. By the way, these same robots are able to replace us at work. So, gentlemen, scientists, please be careful! In addition, the world is already saturated with all sorts of technical bells and whistles. So it is not surprising if, at one fine moment, machines will rise up against their creators. Well, nothing, at that moment we will already be on Venus!

As Ivan Vasilyevich said from the famous film: "I am tormented by vague doubts." So I ask myself the question: I wonder if the writers were so cool that they accurately predicted the future in their books? Or, do scientists use the ideas of science fiction writers?

Wait and see. But let's not forget that the future, regardless of any predictions, will be a direct consequence of our thoughts, words and deeds today.

“Everything that really exists exists within the framework of the present” - these words belong to Boris Pasternak. However, history knows people who are endowed with a special gift, who see future events that are tens or even hundreds of years away from the date of prediction.

STAR WOLF

There are legends that the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which occurred on April 26, 1986 and became the largest man-made disaster in the history of mankind, was predicted by many clairvoyants. But the earliest prediction, perhaps, refers to biblical times. In "The Revelation of St. John the Theologian" there are the following words: "The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a lamp, and fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of this star is Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many of the people died from the waters, because they became bitter.” Common wormwood has popular names - Chernobyl, Chernobyl.

ALMOST - DOES NOT COUNT

German philosopher and theologian of the 13th century. Albert the Great von Bolstedt predicted that "Three times Germany will be on the verge of victory in a period equal to 700 years, she will almost take over the world three times." For the first time, Germany tried to fight for world domination back in the 16th century. Then Charles V of Habsburg took the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, at the same time he was the Spanish king. The second futile attempt was made by the Hohenzollern dynasty at the beginning of the 20th century, the third by the Nazis at the end of the first half of the 20th century. Thus, in 700 years, Germany was indeed on the verge of a coveted victory three times.

THE YOUNG LION WILL OVERCOME THE OLD

In 1558, the first part of Nostradamus' book "Predictions" dedicated to King Henry II was published. It was written: "The young lion will overcome the old one on the battlefield in a single duel, he will gouge out his eyes in a golden cage." On April 13, 1559, at the feast dedicated to the signing of peace between France and Spain, Henry II was seriously wounded in a knightly duel with the captain of the Scottish Guard, Count Gabriel Montgomery. A sharp piece of Montgomery's wooden spear fell into the slit of the king's helmet and pierced his eye, causing Henry II to fall from his horse. Ten days later he died.

YOU WILL BECOME THE EMPRESS

In 1794, Josephine de Beauharnais and her friend looked into the salon of a young but already very popular fortune teller, Marie Lenormand. Josephine laughed at the news that she would become empress. Lenormand's next visitor was a short man in military uniform. The soothsayer predicted six high posts and the title of emperor to him, saying that fate would be favorable to him only up to 40 years, until he leaves his life partner sent by providence. Two years later, Napoleon and Josephine got married, in 1804 Bonaparte proclaimed himself emperor, and five years later he divorced her... The 1812 campaign ended in a fiasco with Napoleon's previously invincible army.

FEAR THE WHITE HORSE

An old German fortuneteller who lived in St. Petersburg, in front of witnesses, told the young Alexander Pushkin “an early receipt of money, an unexpected offer, fame and reverence for his compatriots, two exiles” and that “he will live a long time, if at the age of 37 he does not happen to no harm to him from a white horse, or from a white head, or from a white man. Upon returning home, Alexander found a letter with money (an old debt of a lyceum comrade). A few days later, he received an offer from General Orlov regarding a promotion. Almost two decades later, when Pushkin was 37 years old, he was mortally wounded in a duel with Georges Dantes, who had a white horse.

PETERSBURG WILL NOT RENT

The St. Petersburg archives contain a record dated 1913, made by a certain Anna Vrubova, a student of the clairvoyant and miracle worker Grigory Rasputin: . And then he turned to me and said: “I know, I know, Petersburg will be surrounded, they will starve! Lord, how many people will die, and all because of this little thing! But they will not see Petersburg! Nakos, we’ll lie down starving to death, but we won’t let go! ” Then he calmed down and asked for tea, and when asked when everything would happen, he answered: “From my death - the 25th year.”
Rasputin died in 1916, and a quarter of a century later, fascist Germany invaded the USSR and encircled the blockade of Leningrad.

Yoongi's HORRIBLE DEATH

In 1838, Edgar Allan Poe wrote the book The Tale of the Adventures of Arthur Gordon Pym. In it, three sailors drifting on a lifeboat in the South Seas, mad with hunger, eat their friend, cabin boy Richard Parker. 46 years later, the tragedy described by Poe was repeated in life. After the schooner "Lace" was wrecked and all opportunities to satisfy hunger were exhausted, several starving sailors ate a cabin boy named Richard Parker. Parents who named their child Richard Parker, apparently, were not familiar with Poe's work, otherwise they would have thought well before giving such a name to their newborn son.

I SEE TANKS

Another prophecy related to the Second World War was made by Wolf Messing, a brilliant telepath and clairvoyant, whose fame thundered all over the world. In 1937, at a speech in one of the theaters in Warsaw, he said: "If Hitler goes to war in the East, he will die." And in the winter of 1940, in the hall of the NKVD club, when asked what he thought about the Soviet-German pact, he answered: "I see tanks with red stars on the streets of Berlin." A year and a half before the invasion of the USSR by German troops, Messing foresaw the victory of the Soviet people in the bloodiest war in the history of mankind.

The Futility of the Titanic

In 1898, the London journalist Morgan Robertson published a small edition of the novel Futility, which tells about the tragic voyage of the huge transatlantic liner Titan. On a cold April night, the ship collided with an iceberg and sank, taking over a thousand lives with it. Robertson's violent fantasy turned out to be a nightmarish prophecy: on the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic, the largest and most luxurious liner of that time, perished in the Atlantic under similar circumstances. Moreover, the Titanic and its literary predecessor had nearly identical specifications.

WORDS OF VANGI

The blind clairvoyant Vanga amazed her contemporaries with her gift. In 1989, she predicted: “The American brothers will fall, pecked by iron birds. The wolves will howl from the bush, and innocent blood will flow like a river. On September 11, 2001, after an air attack by terrorists in New York, the skyscrapers of the World Trade Center, called the twins, collapsed. The President of the United States at that time was George W. Bush (from the English bush - a bush), and the military campaign unleashed by his administration in the Middle East, according to various estimates, claimed up to a million lives.

Prophecies were made by many: saints, scientists, writers, mediums. Some of the predictions came true, others did not, but many more turned out to be fabricated.

The fall of the monarchy in Russia

The death of the Romanov dynasty was predicted repeatedly. When Alexandra Fedorovna (wife of Nicholas II) visited the Tithes Monastery in Novgorod in 1916, the old woman Maria, holding out her hands to her, said: “Here comes the Martyr - Queen Alexandra.” Rasputin spoke about the tragic end of the last royal family, but even earlier such predictions were made by St. Seraphim of Sarov.

It is known that on March 2, 1855, the wife of Alexander II, Maria Alexandrovna, retold the prophecy of Seraphim of Sarov about the death of the last emperor and his family to her maid of honor Anna Tyutcheva. The empress herself learned about the prediction from Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich, to whom the elder told his revelations.
The most mysterious story about the prediction of the death of the last king is associated with the monk Abel (1757-1841). According to legend, in 1801 the monk told his prophecies to Emperor Paul I, who "sealed" the secret in a chest and ordered it to be opened only after 100 years. Nicholas II, apparently, knew the prophecy not only about his tragic fate, but also about its timing, since, according to the testimony of those close to him, he repeatedly said: "Until 1918, I was not afraid of anything."

metropolis

Jules Verne (1828-1905) was not a soothsayer, but in his novels he surprisingly foresaw the scientific and technological development of mankind. Contrary to popular belief, his most striking prediction was not a submarine - when the author began writing the novel "20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" in France, the first mechanical underwater vehicle had already been launched, and not a manned flight to the moon - it was first described by English in the early 17th century priest Francis Godwin.

In Paris in the Twentieth Century (1863), Jules Verne prophetically foresaw the city of the future. The novel, which at one time the publishers considered too implausible, describes a modern metropolis with skyscrapers and a wide network of banks, with electric trains rushing at high speeds and cars with internal combustion engines. This is a kind of novel warning about the danger of worshiping cars and money, fraught with the threat of moral degradation.

atomic weapons

A worthy successor to the amazing insights of Jules Verne was Herbert Wells (1866-1946). So, despite the ridicule of "custom physicists", he predicted the appearance of a laser and a rocket engine. His description of aircraft capable of carrying up to 2,000 people and flying non-stop around the world is likely to become a reality in the near future.

But H. G. Wells' most interesting revelation came in The World Set Free (1914), in which he predicts the coming of the "atomic bomb." Moreover, the writer warns mankind against the use of this deadly weapon: “To this day, the battlefields of that crazy era contain radioactive substances and are centers of the most harmful radiation.”

The Second World War

The most global war that affected the world in the middle of the 20th century was predicted by many. Researchers find one of the first prophecies of a terrible war in the quatrains of Michel Nostradamus, which allegorically speaks of the rise and fall of Hitler, the opening of the Second Front and the liberation of Europe.
However, if Nostradamus today is almost a mythical person, then Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) is quite real. It is known that Casey gave out his predictions in a dream, but when he woke up, he did not remember anything about them: the stenographer kept everything. In a similar way, he predicted with amazing accuracy the dates of the beginning and end of the Second World War (however, as well as the First), the defeat of the Germans at the Kursk Bulge, and the final victory of the Soviet Union.

The collapse of the USSR

The disappearance from the political map of the Soviet Union was predicted by a variety of people - clairvoyants, holy elders, politicians and scientists. For example, academician A. D. Sakharov warned in 1989 that if the situation in the country is not corrected, this is fraught with separatism and the collapse of the Union.

A little earlier, in 1985, Academician Viktor Gelovani predicted the country's development situation for the coming years using computer modeling. The analysis data identified two main paths - a technological one that promises a powerful industrial and economic breakthrough, and a losing model that could lead to the collapse of the USSR by 1991. It worked out as always.
Edgar Cayce, mentioned in 1944, predicted the fall of the USSR in a somewhat veiled form. “The 20th century will not have time to end before the collapse of communism will come,” said the soothsayer. “The Communists will lose their power there.” And he promised a severe crisis to Russia freed from communism.

Robotization

The term "robot" came into our everyday life thanks to Karl Capek (1890-1938). His play R. U.R." (1920) tells about the creation of intelligent machines based on human-found protoplasm. Of course, the creatures that were born in the imagination of the Czech writer are still out of the realm of science fiction, but the problems that affect humanity in connection with the introduction of artificial intelligence are relevant now: “The creation of the human mind has finally escaped from the power of man and began to live according to its own laws,” Capek warns.

Social networks

Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) wrote his famous work, the anti-utopia Fahrenheit 451, in 1953, but the problems voiced in it became relevant only with the onset of the 21st century. The American science fiction writer was alarmed that people are gradually moving away from each other, losing living human contact - they become victims of consumption and technology. In the novel, he writes about "television walls", where the characters can communicate with each other from a distance using huge screens. In 2004, the creators of Facebook called the "wall" a communication node for sending and receiving messages.
