September 21 is the International Day of Peace and the day of general ceasefire and renunciation of violence. But today there are almost four dozen hot spots recorded in the world. Where and for what humanity is fighting today - in the material TUT.BY.

Gradation of conflicts:

Low intensity armed conflict- confrontation for religious, ethnic, political and other reasons. It is characterized by a low level of attacks and victims - less than 50 per year.

Medium-intensity armed conflict- occasional terrorist attacks and military operations using weapons. It is characterized by an average level of victims - up to 500 per year.

High intensity armed conflict- constant hostilities using conventional weapons and weapons of mass destruction (with the exception of nuclear weapons); involving foreign states and coalitions. Such conflicts are often accompanied by massive and numerous terrorist attacks. It is characterized by a high level of victims - from 500 per year or more.

Europe, Russia and Transcaucasia

Conflict in Donbass

Status: regular clashes between separatists and the Ukrainian military, despite the ceasefire

Start: year 2014

Death toll: from April 2014 to August 2017 - more than 10 thousand people

The armed conflict in Donbass began in the spring of 2014. Pro-Russian activists, inspired by Russia's annexation of Crimea and dissatisfied with the new government in Kyiv, proclaimed the creation of the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics. After the new Ukrainian authorities attempted to suppress protests by force in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, a full-scale armed conflict began, which has been dragging on for three years.

The situation in Donbass is not off the world agenda, as Kyiv accuses Moscow of helping the self-proclaimed republics, including through direct military intervention. The West supports these accusations, Moscow consistently denies them.

The conflict moved from the active phase to the medium-intensity phase after the launch of "" and the beginning.

But in the east of Ukraine they are still shooting, people are dying on both sides.

Caucasus and Nagorno-Karabakh

There are two other pockets of instability in the region that are classified as armed conflicts.

The war in the early 1990s between Azerbaijan and Armenia led to the formation of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (). The last time large-scale military actions were recorded here, about 200 people died on both sides. But local armed clashes in which Azerbaijanis and Armenians die.

Despite all the efforts of Russia, the situation in the Caucasus remains extremely difficult: counter-terrorism operations are constantly being carried out in Dagestan, Chechnya and Ingushetia, Russian special services report on the liquidation of gangs and terrorist cells, but the flow of reports does not decrease.

Middle East and North Africa

The entire region was shocked in 2011 by "". From then to the present, Syria, Libya, Yemen and Egypt have been hot spots in the region. In addition, the armed confrontation in Iraq and Turkey has been going on for many years.

War in Syria

Status: constant hostilities

Start: 2011

Death toll: from March 2011 to August 2017 - from 330,000 to

After the US invasion in 2003 and the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime, Iraq began a civil war and rebellion against the coalition government. And in 2014, part of the country was captured by Islamic State militants. Now a motley company is fighting the terrorists: the Iraqi army with the support of US troops, the Kurds, local Sunni tribes and Shiite militias. This summer, the largest city that was under the control of ISIS, there is currently a struggle for control of Anbar province.

Radical Islamist groups are fighting Baghdad not only on the battlefield - in Iraq constantly with numerous casualties.

Libya

Status: regular clashes between different factions

Start: 2011

Exacerbation: year 2014

Death toll: from February 2011 to August 2017 - t 15,000 to 30,000

The conflict in Libya also began with the Arab Spring. In 2011, protesters against the Gaddafi regime were supported by airstrikes by the United States and NATO. The revolution won, Muammar Gaddafi was killed by a crowd, but the conflict did not die down. In 2014, a new civil war broke out in Libya, and since then dual power has reigned in the country - in the east of the country, in the city of Tobruk, a parliament elected by the people sits, and in the west, in the capital of Tripoli, the Government of National Accord, formed with the support of the UN and Europe, is ruled by Faez. Sarraj. In addition, there is a third force - the Libyan national army, which is fighting the militants of the Islamic State and other radical groups. The situation is complicated by the civil strife of local tribes.

Yemen

Status: regular missile and air strikes, clashes between different factions

Start: year 2014

Death toll: from February 2011 to September 2017 - more than 10 thousand people

Yemen is another country whose conflict dates back to the Arab Spring in 2011. President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who ruled Yemen for 33 years, transferred his powers to the country's Vice President Abd Rabbo Mansour al-Hadi, who won early elections a year later. However, he failed to retain power in the country: in 2014, a civil war broke out between Shiite rebels (Houthis) and the Sunni government. Al-Hadi was supported by Saudi Arabia, which, together with other Sunni monarchies and with the consent of the United States, is helping with both ground operations and air strikes. Former President Saleh, who is supported by some Shiite rebels and Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, also joined the fight.

The armed confrontation between the Turkish government and the fighters of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, who are fighting for the creation of Kurdish autonomy within Turkey, has continued from 1984 to the present. In the last two years, the conflict has escalated: Turkish authorities accused the Kurds of several crimes, after which they carried out purges.

The Knife Intifada and Lebanon

There are several other hot spots in the region that military experts classify as low-intensity “armed conflicts.”

First of all, this is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the next escalation of which was called “”. Between 2015 and 2016, there were more than 250 attacks by Islamic radicals armed with bladed weapons against Israelis. As a result, 36 Israelis, 5 foreigners and 246 Palestinians were killed. Attacks with knives and screwdrivers have died down this year, but armed attacks continue: in July, three Arabs attacked an Israeli police officer on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Another smoldering hot spot is Lebanon. The smoldering conflict in Lebanon is at a low level of intensity only due to the authorities' emphasized neutrality regarding the civil war in Syria and the related conflict in Lebanon between Sunnis and Shiites. Lebanese Shiites and the Hezbollah group support the pro-Assad coalition, Sunnis oppose it, and radical Islamist groups oppose the Lebanese authorities. Armed clashes and terrorist attacks occur from time to time: the largest of them in recent times was the double terrorist attack in Beirut in 2015, which resulted in...

Asia and Pacific

Afghanistan

Status: constant terrorist attacks and armed clashes

Beginning of the conflict: 1978

Escalation of the conflict: year 2001

Death toll: from 2001 to August 2017 - more than 150,000 people

Doctors at a hospital in Kabul examine a boy injured in a terrorist attack on September 15, 2017. On this day in Kabul, a booby-trapped tanker was blown up at a checkpoint leading to the diplomatic quarter.

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, NATO and the United States military contingent entered Afghanistan. The Taliban regime was overthrown, but a military conflict began in the country: the Afghan government, with the support of NATO and US forces, is fighting the Taliban and Islamist groups associated with Al-Qaeda and IS.

Despite the fact that 13 thousand NATO and US troops still remain in Afghanistan and there are now discussions about whether to do so, terrorist activity in the country remains high: dozens of people die in the republic every month.

The smoldering Kashmir conflict and the internal problems of India and Pakistan

In 1947, two states were formed on the territory of former British India - India and Pakistan. The partition took place along religious lines: provinces with a predominantly Muslim population went to Pakistan, and provinces with a Hindu majority to India. But not everywhere: despite the fact that the majority of the population of Kashmir were Muslims, this region was annexed to India.

Residents of Kashmir province stand on the rubble of three houses destroyed by an artillery strike by the Pakistani military. This strike was carried out in response to the shelling of Pakistani territories by Indian troops, who, in turn, responded to an attack by militants who, in their opinion, arrived from Pakistan. Photo: Reuters

Since then Kashmir- a disputed territory between the two countries and the cause of three Indo-Pakistani wars and several smaller military conflicts. According to various sources, over the past 70 years it has claimed about 50 thousand lives. In April 2017, the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research published an annual report that identified the Kashmir conflict as one that could trigger a military conflict involving the use of nuclear weapons. Both India and Pakistan are members of the “club of nuclear powers” ​​with an arsenal of several dozen nuclear warheads.

In addition to the general conflict, each country has several hot spots with varying degrees of intensity, all of which are recognized by the international community as military conflicts.

There are three of them in Pakistan: separatist movements in the western province Balochistan, the fight against the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan group in an unrecognized state Waziristan and clashes between Pakistani security forces and various militant groups in the semi-autonomous region " Federally Administered Tribal Areas"(FATA). Radicals from these regions attack government buildings, law enforcement officers and carry out terrorist attacks.

There are four hotspots in India. In three Indian states - Assam, Nagaland and Manipur Due to religious and ethnic clashes, nationalist and separatist movements are strong and do not disdain terrorist attacks and hostage-taking.

And in 20 of the 28 Indian states there are Naxalites - Maoist militant groups who demand the creation of free self-governing zones, where they (of course!) will build the most real and correct communism. Naxalites practice attacks on officials and government troops and carry out more than half of the terrorist attacks in India. The country's authorities have officially declared the Naxalites terrorists and call them the main internal threat to the country's security.

Myanmar

Recently, the media, which usually does not pay attention to third world countries, has focused attention.

In this country, in August, the religious-ethnic conflict between the residents of the Rakhine state - Arakanese Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims - escalated. Hundreds of separatists from the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ASRA) attacked 30 police strongholds, killing 15 police and military personnel. After this, the troops began an anti-terrorist operation: in just one week, the military killed 370 Rohingya separatists, and 17 local residents were also reported accidentally killed. How many people died in Myanmar in September is still unknown. Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh, creating a humanitarian crisis.

Southern Thailand

A number of radical Islamic organizations advocate the independence of the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat from Thailand and demand either the creation of an independent Islamic state or the inclusion of the provinces in Malaysia.

Bangkok is responding to the demands of the Islamists, supported by attacks and attacks, with counter-terrorism operations and suppression of local unrest. Over 13 years of escalating conflict, more than 6,000 people have died.

Uyghur conflict

The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR, abbreviated Chinese name for Xinjiang) is located in northwestern China. It occupies a sixth of the territory of all of China, and the majority of its inhabitants are Uyghurs - a Muslim people, whose representatives are not always enthusiastic about the national policies of the country's communist leadership. In Beijing, Xinjiang is perceived as a region of “three hostile forces” - terrorism, religious extremism and separatism.

The Chinese authorities have reason for this - the active terrorist group “East Turkestan Islamic Movement,” whose goal is to create an Islamic state in China, is responsible for unrest and terrorist attacks in Xinjiang: over the past 10 years, more than 1,000 people have died in the region.

Now the conflict is characterized as sluggish, but Beijing has already been threatened with an escalation of the situation after the Chinese authorities introduced a ban on wearing beards, hijabs, and performing marriage and mourning ceremonies according to religious customs instead of secular ones. In addition, Uyghurs were urged to sell alcohol and tobacco in stores and not to publicly celebrate religious holidays.

Armed conflict in the Philippines

For more than four decades in the Philippines, the conflict has continued between Manila and armed groups of Muslim separatists in the south of the country, which traditionally advocate the creation of an independent Islamic state. The situation worsened after the position of the Islamic State in the Middle East significantly weakened: many Islamists flocked to Southeast Asia. Two major factions, Abu Sayyaf and Maute, pledged allegiance to IS and captured the city of Marawi on the Philippine island of Mindanao in May. Government troops still cannot drive the militants out of the city. Also, radical Islamists stage armed attacks not only in the south, but also.

According to the latest data, from May to September this year in the Philippines, a total of 45 civilians and 136 soldiers and police were killed as a result of terrorist actions.

North and South America

Mexico

In 2016, Mexico had the second highest death toll on the list of states where armed conflict continues, behind only Syria. The nuance is that officially there is no war on Mexican territory, but for more than ten years there has been a battle between the country’s authorities and drug cartels. The latter are still fighting among themselves, and for good reason—income from drug sales in the United States alone amounts to up to $64 billion a year. And drug cartels receive about $30 billion a year from selling drugs to Europe.

The international community calls this confrontation in Mexico an armed conflict with a high degree of intensity, and justifiably: even in the most “peaceful” year of 2014, more than 14 thousand people died, and in total since 2006, more than 106,000 people have become victims of the “drug war”.

"Northern Triangle"

Drugs come to Mexico from South America. All transit routes pass through the three countries of the Northern Triangle in Central America: Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

The Northern Triangle is one of the most violent regions in the world, where powerful transnational criminal organizations have flourished, many with ties to Mexican drug transit countries; local organized crime groups; gangs like the 18th Street Gang (M-18) and the Pandillas street gangs. All these groups and clans are constantly waging war among themselves for the redistribution of spheres of influence.

The governments of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala have declared war on both organized and street crime. This decision was warmly supported in the United States, where 8.5% of the Northern Triangle population has immigrated in recent years due to high levels of violence and corruption.

The countries of the Northern Triangle are also recognized as participants in armed conflict with a high degree of intensity.

Colombia

The confrontation between the Colombian authorities and the left-wing extremist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) lasted more than 50 years. Over these years, about 220 thousand people died, about 7 million lost their homes. In 2016, an agreement was signed between the Colombian authorities and the FARC. Rebels from the National Liberation Army of Colombia (ELN) refused to join the agreement, which, together with the problem of large-scale drug trafficking, leaves the military conflict in the country at “medium intensity” status.

Africa: Sub-Saharan

IN Somalia Lawlessness has reigned for more than 20 years: neither the government, nor UN peacekeepers, nor the military intervention of neighboring countries can stop the anarchy. The radical Islamist group Al-Shabaab is active in Somalia, and the coastal areas have begun to make money from piracy.

Radical Islamists terrorize and Nigeria. Boko Haram militants control approximately 20% of the territory in the north of the country. They are fought by the Nigerian army, which is assisted by military personnel from neighboring Cameroon, Chad and Niger.

Besides the jihadists, there is another conflict zone in the country in the Niger Delta. For more than 20 years, Nigerian government troops and mercenaries of oil companies, on the one hand, and ethnic groups of Ogoni, Igbo and Ijaw, on the other, have been trying to establish control over the oil-bearing areas for more than 20 years, with varying success.

In another country, the youngest recognized state in the world - South Sudan, — the civil war began two years after gaining independence, in 2013, and despite the presence of a 12,000-strong UN peacekeeping force. Formally, it is between government troops and the rebels, but in essence it is between representatives of the dominant Dinka ethnic group (President Salva Kiir is one of them) and the Nuer tribe, from which Vice President Riek Machar comes.

Uneasy in Sudan. In the Darfur region in the west of the country, an interethnic conflict has been ongoing since 2003, resulting in an armed confrontation between the central government, the informal pro-government Arab Janjaweed armed groups and local rebel groups. According to various estimates, as a result of the Darfur conflict, from 200 to 400 thousand people died, 2.5 million people became refugees.

Armed conflict in Mali erupted between government forces, Tuaregs, various separatist groups and radical Islamists in early 2012. The starting point of events was a military coup, as a result of which the then current head of state, Amadou Toure, was overthrown. To maintain order in the country, UN peacekeepers and a French contingent are present, but despite this, hostage-takings are constantly taking place in Mali.

In the eastern provinces Democratic Republic of the Congo, despite all the efforts of the authorities and peacekeepers, the situation has remained tense for many years. Various Islamist and Christian groups, armed formations of local tribes and gangs from neighboring states operate in the country. All of them are attracted by colossal reserves of rich minerals: gold, diamonds, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, more than half of the world's proven reserves of uranium. According to the UN Panel of Experts on the DRC, illegal gold mining “clearly remains the main source of funding for armed groups.”

IN Central African Republic (CAR) Muslim rebels overthrew a Christian president in 2013, sparking sectarian strife in the country. Since 2014, there has been a UN peacekeeping mission in the country.

World War III refers to a global military conflict. Today questions like “Will there be a Third World War and when will it start?” are no longer fantastic inventions, but very real fears of citizens. In addition, now, given the growing tension on the world stage, such questions are more relevant than ever.

All the conditions in the world lead to a new extensive war. It would seem that in our time no one will ever utter the words “Third World War”, because this very concept seems to have been erased with the liquidation of the “evil empire”. And, it seems, there is no one with whom to wage a continental struggle (as it was in the Second World War) or a nuclear one (it is assumed that this is how the Third will take place).

Someone thinks in images and imagines the Third World War like this: trenches, cracks in the black, incinerated earth, the “enemy” somewhere beyond the horizon... These ideas are copied and formulated on the basis of many films and stories about the terrible and so distant war of our fathers and grandfathers. This is the Great Patriotic War. Or World War II. But World War III will be different.

Many are confident that a future war is already underway. The media, at least, daily and tirelessly, with the importunity of a boring fly, tell us about this. The so-called information battle. So who are we fighting with and why? History repeats itself, bringing into the world a new global conflict over the right to own land. However, now this land, in addition to population and territories, must have another important quality: resources.

Gas, coal, oil. These raw materials are the engine of all the economies of the world. And the central protagonists in a future war, as experts believe, will be “sworn friends” - two powers that have every opportunity to mutually destroy each other and the entire planet using their stockpiles of nuclear weapons.

Where can we expect war?

One should not think that the threat should come from Europe. She is busy with deep introspection and eliminating “economic fleas.” Europe does not pose any danger to Russia. The true enemy will come from afar, he will come from overseas. It is unlikely that anyone will be surprised by the assumption, because since the time of the Fulton speech in 1946, the future enemy has been clearly defined and his name is no secret to anyone in Russia.

It would seem, well, what does America care about us? What will Russia do wrong again? What benefits will the United States want to gain and what will it try to teach the “simple Russian peasant”? The answer is simple - the resources and, perhaps, the ambitions of an equally powerful country that does not tolerate competition.

We also cannot forget the “peacemaker” represented by the EU. Now this peacemaker is more like a provocateur who cheerfully dances to the tune of the United States. It’s as if a repeat of the USA’s cries are heard echoing from the countries of Europe - sanctions, sanctions, sanctions again and... The Third World War.

The global integration of societies and economies has led to the widespread and inevitability of a new war that will engulf the entire world. The ability to receive news virtually “first-hand”, online or through satellite television, has given humanity the amazing privilege of learning everything much faster than a dozen years ago.

It is worth noting, however, that the flow of information has completely discouraged people from critically evaluating and analyzing the events and facts provided. Indeed, for most users, a string of democratic revolutions, coups d'etat and local military skirmishes are simply scattered parts of world politics that will eventually become history.

But is it? This is a question that will remain unanswered. Whether we believe in Freemasons, “world puppeteers” and “almighty rulers of the entire planet,” whether we hope for the sanity and prudence of rulers in using or not using nuclear weapons - all this does not in any way affect the events taking place in the world.

It is quite possible that the Third World War is being fought only on computer monitors, televisions and in the headphones of radio fans. But it is a fact that it is already beginning, unleashing, as if in a spiral, a global conflict.

At the same time, armed conflicts of a local nature in different parts of the planet clearly tell us that the Third World War is just around the corner, the only question that remains is when it will start. It is also worth understanding that this will not simply be a military conflict on a global scale, but quite possibly a real nuclear war, the result of which could be the almost complete extinction of humanity.

According to the conspiracy theory, the Freemasons intend to reduce the number of people on the planet to 1 billion. According to members of the secret society, this is the number of residents that will be optimal for reasonable consumption and complete control of natural resources.

In any case, using biological weapons to reduce the population is too dangerous. We must not forget that substances can mutate and, quite possibly, the Masons themselves will not be able to protect themselves from their own “seeds of evil”, since they will not have a vaccine.

Thus, it is the nuclear Third World War that is the most considered by experts for the development of further events on the part of the Freemasons with their desire to establish a world order with total control.

World War III: clairvoyant predictions

In a world frozen on the threshold of something global and frightening, people listen to everything that gives even the slightest plausible picture of the future. It seems that a war that will engulf the countries is inevitable. Just look at the confrontation between different civilizations, radical ideologies and the threat of terrorism.

We should not forget about natural disasters and catastrophes that occurred due to the fault of humanity itself. They also provoked a struggle for necessary resources - energy sources and clean water.

Both today and many years ago, sages, scientists and amateurs tried to decipher ancient records, predictions and prophecies of famous psychics and sorcerers in order to find answers to many questions of interest to the people. The most important question to which we so want to find a reassuring answer is whether there will be a Third World War.

Hermit Kasyan predicted a tectonic catastrophe, after which people would pour into the remaining territories in hungry crowds, causing even greater destruction, bringing the final death of nations.

According to Alois Ilmayer at the very beginning of the Third World War, bacteriological and chemical weapons will be used, atomic missiles will be launched. The East will declare war on Europe. Diseases, as if from a cornucopia, will begin to fall on people, producing terrible, unprecedented epidemics. Due to the movement of tectonic plates, many areas will become uninhabitable and this will cause attacks by Muslims and Asians. The seer also says that Syria will be the key to either peace or the start of a world war.

Forest seer Mülhiazl, in turn, noted that the main sign of the coming war would be a “construction fever” - like bees in a hive, peoples would build huge honeycombs, filling the planet. It is quite possible that the prophet meant that humanity is preoccupied with the material side of life more than the spiritual.

The Great One wrote in his quatrains that the war would begin in the 21st century and would last for 27 years. This bloody and destructive war will come from the East.

The blind woman said that the global war would begin in Syria, spread to Europe and go further. A massive battle is coming between the Christian and Muslim worlds.

Grigory Rasputin spoke of three snakes that would bring great destruction. There have already been two world wars, which means that humanity faces new challenges.

The situation is truly threatening. But, despite the fact that the whole world is now wondering when there will be war, we must not forget that it has quite possibly already begun. And the war began in our souls. Nowadays, material wealth has been put in first place, not the laughter of a child or the smile of a mother.

Sincerely loving, sympathizing, helping has long become irrelevant. But if we begin to think more often about our own souls and the common good, perhaps we will be able to avoid a bloodbath.

Endless terrorist attacks, ongoing armed conflicts, and ongoing disagreements between Russia, the United States and the European Union indicate that peace on our planet is literally hanging by a thread. This situation is alarming for both politicians and ordinary people. It is no coincidence that the issue of starting the Third World War is being seriously discussed by the entire world community.

Expert opinion

Some political scientists believe that the mechanism of war was already launched several years ago. It all started in Ukraine, when a corrupt president was removed from office and the new government in the country was called illegitimate, and simply a junta. Then they announced to the whole world that it was fascist and they began to scare one sixth of the land with it. First mistrust and then outright enmity were sown in the minds of the people of the two fraternal peoples. A full-scale information war began, in which everything was subordinated to inciting hatred between people.

This confrontation was painful for the families, relatives, and friends of the two fraternal peoples. It has reached the point where politicians in the two countries are ready to pit brother against brother. The situation on the Internet also speaks to the danger of the situation. Various discussion platforms and forums have turned into real battlefields where everything is permitted.

If anyone still doubts the likelihood of war, they can simply go to any social network and see the intensity of discussions on topical topics, from information about oil prices to the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest.

If it is possible to quarrel two fraternal peoples who have shared grief and victory for more than 360 years, then what can we say about other countries. You can call any nation an enemy overnight by preparing timely information support in the media and the Internet. This is what happened with Turkey, for example.

Currently, Russia is testing new methods of war using the example of Crimea, Donbass, Ukraine, and Syria. Why deploy multimillion-dollar armies, transfer troops, if you can carry out a “successful information attack”, and to top it off, send a small contingent of “little green men”. Fortunately, there is already positive experience in Georgia, Crimea, Syria and the Donbass.

Some political observers believe that it all started in Iraq, when the United States decided to remove the allegedly undemocratic president and carried out Operation Desert Storm. As a result, the country's natural resources came under US control.

Having gained a little fat in the 2000s and having carried out a number of military operations, Russia decided not to give in and prove to the whole world that it had “rose from its knees.” Hence such “decisive” actions in Syria, Crimea and Donbass. In Syria, we protect the whole world from ISIS, in Crimea, Russians from Bandera, in Donbass, the Russian-speaking population from Ukrainian punitive forces.

In fact, an invisible confrontation has already begun between the United States and Russia. America does not want to share its dominance in the world with the Russian Federation. Direct proof of this is present-day Syria.

Tension in different parts of the world, where the interests of the two countries come into contact, will only increase.

There are experts who believe that tension with America is caused by the fact that the latter is aware of the loss of its leading position against the backdrop of a strengthening China and wants to destroy Russia in order to take possession of its natural resources. Various methods are being used to weaken the Russian Federation:

• EU sanctions;
• decline in oil prices;
• involvement of the Russian Federation in the arms race;
• support for protest sentiments in Russia.

America is doing everything to ensure that the situation of 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, is repeated.

War in Russia is inevitable in 2020

This point of view is shared by the American political analyst I. Hagopian. He posted his thoughts on this matter on the GlobalResears website. He noted that there are all signs of the US and Russia preparing for war. The author notes that America will be supported:

• NATO countries;
• Israel;
• Australia;
• all US satellites around the world.

Russia's allies include China and India. The expert believes that the United States is facing bankruptcy and will therefore make an attempt to seize the riches of the Russian Federation. He also emphasized that some states may disappear as a result of this conflict.

Former NATO leader A. Shirreff makes similar forecasts. For this purpose, he even wrote a book about the war with Russia. In it, he notes the inevitability of a military confrontation with America. According to the plot of the book, Russia is seizing the Baltic states. NATO countries are coming to its defense. As a result, World War III begins. On the one hand, the plot looks frivolous and implausible, but on the other hand, considering that the work was written by a retired general, the script looks quite plausible.

Who will win America or Russia

To answer this question it is necessary to compare the military power of the two powers:

Armament	Russia	USA
Active Army	1.4 million people	1.1 million people
Reserve	1.3 million people	2.4 million people
Airports and runways	1218	13513
Aircraft	3082	13683
Helicopters	1431	6225
Tanks	15500	8325
Armored vehicles	27607	25782
Self-propelled guns	5990	1934
Towed artillery	4625	1791
MLRS	4026	830
Ports and terminals	7	23
Warships	352	473
Aircraft carriers	1	10
Submarines	63	72
Attack ships	77	17
Budget	76 trillion	612 trillion

Success in war depends not only on superiority in weapons. As military expert J. Shields said, the Third World War will not be like the two previous wars. Combat operations will be carried out using computer technology. They will become more short-term, but the number of victims will be in the thousands. Nuclear weapons are unlikely to be used, but chemical and bacteriological weapons as an auxiliary means are not excluded.

Attacks will be launched not only on the battlefield, but also in:

• areas of communications;
• Internet;
• television;
• economics;
• finance;
• politics;
• space.

Something similar is now happening in Ukraine. The offensive is on all fronts. Blatant disinformation, hacker attacks on financial servers, sabotage in the economic field, discrediting politicians, diplomats, terrorist attacks, shutting down broadcast satellites and much more can cause irreparable damage to the enemy along with military operations at the front.

Psychic predictions

Throughout history there have been many prophets who predicted the end of humanity. One of them is Nostradamus. As for world wars, he accurately predicted the first two. Regarding the Third World War, he said that it would happen due to the fault of the Antichrist, who will stop at nothing and will be terribly merciless.

The next psychic whose prophecies came true is Vanga. She told future generations that World War III would begin with a small state in Asia. The fastest is Syria. The reason for military action will be an attack on four heads of state. The consequences of the war will be terrifying.

The famous psychic P. Globa also said his words regarding the Third World War. His forecasts can be called optimistic. He said that humanity will end World War III if it prevents military action in Iran.

The psychics listed above are not the only ones who predicted World War III. Similar predictions were made by:

• A. Ilmayer;
• Mulchiazl;
• Edgar Cayce;
• G. Rasputin;
• Bishop Anthony;
• Saint Hilarion and others

Carefully studying the geopolitical situation in the world today, one can often hear the opinion that the Third World War will begin in 2017. Some make the bold assumption that the war is already being waged and it is invisible, but effective. And it is not waged by the special services, but by the media, since the war is an information war. Which statement is true?

Will World War III start in 2017?

Political scientists around the world agree that at the current stage of development of statehood, many countries will not agree to a conscious armed conflict on a global scale, as this will entail great human losses. Instead, a return to the Cold War model, which was observed almost immediately after the end of World War II, is possible. Then the confrontation was between two superpowers: the USA and the USSR, which had enormous nuclear potential capable of destroying half the planet. Today the threat of a nuclear strike is not so great, and the public opinion on this matter is clear. However, the current adversaries - Russia and NATO - have something to shake each other down.

It is argued that the constant escalation of the situation, which will occur with the help of a variety of media, small clashes and major clashes in the territory of Third World countries, can lead to the declaration of war and its outbreak.

However, along with this, there is an opinion that World War 3 2017 is already underway, and it is the media that is leading it, providing citizens of different countries with a diverse version of some events, presenting them in a light favorable to one or another political force. This theory is supported by world news coverage and the economic and political situation in the world.

Possible causes of war

If the opinion about the possibility of starting a new world war is more or less clear: it will either happen or not, then the reasons for its start are not so clear. Thus, there are several possible causes of the Third World War:

• War on religious grounds: the constant clash between the Christian and Muslim worlds, which today, thanks to the capabilities of weapons, has reached a new level, can develop into a real military conflict, and then Europe will be overwhelmed not only by a wave of terrorist attacks, but also by real military attacks. If this scenario comes true, Europe will be destroyed, and the “center of the world” will be transferred to one of the Muslim countries, which will be the leader in this confrontation and lead the holy war against the infidels.
• A war between two super-states for the right to world influence and domination. Many still believe that the Cold War was never completed and the successors of the old political regimes only disguised the existing confrontation under imaginary friendship and now the real state of affairs is being revealed: there is no peacetime. Thus, the United States will enlist the support of the EU and Israel to oppose Russia’s alliance with China and India. With such a balance of power, many countries will enter into a “neighborhood conflict,” such as South and North Korea.
• War for resources. Researchers have been saying for years that the natural resources of our planet have been significantly depleted, and therefore the strongest influence on the economies of countries will be exerted by those who possess them. The most valuable resource today is oil, since it is not only a source of income for entire states and the basis of economies, but also an important component of the daily lives of citizens. It is believed that it will be the United States that will start the war, since its oil fields are almost depleted, and the country will face bankruptcy in the coming years. And then Russia will be in a defensive position and will act as a defender of the peoples and countries that the States will attack.
• War is a Masonic conspiracy. The existence of Freemasons, who rule the world like puppeteers, has long been debated. And many discussions have already been made about whether they really have such a huge influence as they are credited with. However, one of the reasons for the Third World War in 2017 is called a conspiracy by the brotherhood of masons, according to which in this way they intend to reduce the population of the Earth. The reason for this was the same lack of resources for so many people. That is, the fewer people left alive, the longer the necessary wealth of the planet will last. In addition, such a war is associated with the apocalypse, necessary to cleanse the earth of humanity mired in vices. Once cleansed, the survivors will build a new, enlightened society. Naturally, under the leadership of the Masons.

Of course, today it is too early to say which of the reasons will become the very trigger that served as the beginning of the global cataclysm. However, we should not forget that geopolitical prerequisites have existed for quite some time.

Possible scenario and outcome of World War 3 in 2017

Today the world is transparent thanks to new technologies: satellites that make it possible to take pictures of the planet’s surface from space, unmanned aircraft, surveillance cameras installed everywhere. All this, and even a photo of a fighter against the background of equipment posted on a social network, allows you to assess the approximate firepower of a potential enemy. And if you supplement this with intelligence data, you can get a more complete picture. In addition, some countries keep such information in the public domain, both for intimidation and for boasting.

It is based on the number of equipment and soldiers that forecasts are made about how the Third World War could develop in 2017.

Based on the available data, the NATO bloc significantly exceeds the Russian Federation in the number of weapons and soldiers. But the main feature of the bloc's troops is their location: they are scattered throughout the world, while Russia's military forces are concentrated on its territory.

It is also worth taking into account technological progress, which has improved weapons since their last use and now the distance between armies can be several tens of kilometers, and the destruction hundreds of times greater, since, for example, long-range missiles are capable of flying across entire continents to their target. In this case, it will not be possible to avoid civilian casualties. And this is the main reason why such a war scenario is denied by most politicians. The use of biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction is also considered unlikely.

Proponents of the Masonic conspiracy theory, who bet on 2017 and the Third World War, will not agree with them. In their opinion, this is exactly how events will develop, and if not at the beginning of the war, then quite soon the leadership of one of the parties in this war will come to this conclusion.

There are also several theories about how exactly the war will start. So, one of the main scenarios for today: Russia will attack the Baltic countries, and NATO will respond to this attack with an armed clash. It is believed that after this, Russia’s hands will be untied and it will be able, hiding behind the version of defense and response to the enemy’s aggressive actions, to launch a full-scale attack on European countries. According to supporters of this theory, Russia will win the war by establishing its dominance in the world for a long time. Not only the old world will be destroyed, but the USA, Canada, China, Korea and some countries in Africa and South America.

Another version says that the war will begin within Europe with protests by Muslims against governments, and Russia will enter into this confrontation much later, when it is necessary to contain the aggressor. According to this scenario, the Russian Federation will face defeat, but Muslim countries will strengthen and begin to gradually spread their influence over the entire territory of the planet.

One way or another, most researchers of this issue agree that war will be tantamount to war, and this is its main danger for humanity.

Prophecies about World War III

The theory that the Third World War will nevertheless begin in 2017 is supported not only by military-political forecasts and observations of the situation, but also by the predictions of authoritative clairvoyants of ancient and modern times. And, although this is not the most reliable source of information and predictions do not always come true, one cannot discount the words of Vanga or Nostradamus, whose warnings have been repeatedly confirmed by events in history.

Vanga's prediction

At the end of the last century, Vanga predicted a terrible war between nations in which everyone would participate. She spoke of great and widespread destruction that would entail many deaths, famine and devastation for many years. The cause of the war was supposed to be religion, and the starting point was the moment when people ceased to have compassion. Since the seer spoke in images, it is quite difficult to interpret her words, but researchers believe that she could be talking about the east and the terrorist organization ISIS, which has recently become more active.

However, Vanga never named exact dates, but mentioned this event that it would be witnessed by the children of the listeners, that is, presumably today’s youth.

Matrona of Moscow about the war in 2017

The blind seer saint also did not give exact dates, but we are inclined to believe that her last prophecy refers specifically to 2017. It said that everyone would die without war, and that war goes on without war. At one moment everyone will fall to the ground, and at dawn they will rise. And salvation awaits those who repented and managed to cleanse themselves before the Lord. Since Matrona was a deeply religious person, it is believed that this is how she predicted the Apocalypse.

There are also several other versions of interpretation. “War goes on without war” - refers to the concept of information war, when there is no destruction, but a clash of minds and opinions is already occurring. It is also believed that death without war could mean a collision with a cosmic body, or a global environmental disaster, or even the spread of a deadly disease.

Nostradamus's prediction

Nostradamus encrypted his predictions in quatrains - quatrains, the secret meaning of which has been sought for several hundred years. However, the interpretation is not always successful or has the same meaning. Thus, there are cases when more than one event is assumed under one quatrain. Skeptics argue that this happens because researchers simply “summary” the event that happened.

And meanwhile, Nostradamus prophesies the beginning of the conflict in France on the Rhone River in 2017, which could serve as the starting point for a global conflict. And for 2018, he gives an equally gloomy prediction, which is interpreted as a warning: a threat should be expected from Iran, and the United Nations will be the first to suffer, as the main one that can fight back and prevent further war.

Predictions of Pavel Globa about the World War

The famous astrologer claims that the war will not cross the border of cold confrontation and it will never come to real armed clashes, since countries will be too busy trying to maintain their economic well-being at the proper level. However, he predicts financial losses and periods of need for the USA and Russia. True, Russia will soon recover from the crisis thanks to energy resources and will be able to unite with several former Soviet republics.

Also, the world will be shaken by natural disasters, which will already cause large losses among the population of different countries, and this will most likely unite humanity around another, more important problem - survival in conditions of changing terrain, climate and depletion of natural resources.

Prediction by Malakhat Nazarova

Another modern prophetess believes that an armed conflict will never happen and for several reasons. According to her, 2017 is a turning point not only in the history of humanity, but also the universe as a whole. Despite the fact that the leap year is the previous one, 2017 should mark the end of another period of chaos caused by the change of the millennium. And how it will end depends entirely on those in power, since the chance to reach consensus and resolve all conflicts through compromise is still quite large.

Just like Globa, she predicts earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions and hurricanes that will cause the largest disasters on earth. This should unite enemies and distract from international political problems, as more pressing issues that require immediate solutions and joint efforts will come to the fore.

Most well-known in the past and modern predictors predict difficult and terrible times for the coming year. But at the same time, their prophecies indicate that the opportunity to avoid all the horrors of this terrible time is associated with the arrival of the Russian Tsar. It all depends on which path the Russian people choose. Will he accept a new worldview or will he adhere to the old vicious system that leads humanity to inevitable destruction?

PROPHECY OF ARCHPRIESTER NIKOLAY GURYANOV:

Father Nikolai, who will come after Yeltsin? What should we expect?

Afterwards there will be a military man.

Soon?

-...His power will be linear. But his age is short, and so is he. There will be persecution of the monks and the Church. The power will be the same as under the communists and the Politburo.

And after that there will be an Orthodox Tsar.

Will we survive, father?

Yes, you do.

PREDICTIONS OF SCHIARCHIMANDRITE CHRISTOPHOR THE ELDER OF TULA (1996):

Father said that the world is not moving towards salvation, but towards its imminent destruction. When Boris Yeltsin was still in power, the priest said: “He hasn’t done anything good, but he doesn’t touch the Church, and that’s the main thing. And after him there will be a young man who will completely confuse everything... Everything will be done cunningly and craftily... And then things will begin that only God will figure out. ...You’ll all return to manual labor.”

Note. Apparently the entire civilization with its technical progress will be destroyed, since instead of machines people will work manually.

VASILY NEMCHIN:

“After the reign of Mishka the Marked (Mikhail Gorbachev), a second titan “Giant” (Boris Yeltsin) will appear in Rus'. In the last years of his reign, the Giant (Boris Yeltsin) will wander through the labyrinth, and on his shoulders will sit a dwarf with a black face (Vladimir Putin). Titan (Boris Yeltsin) will leave in such a way that no one will expect it (the sudden and unexpected departure of Boris Yeltsin from the post of President of Russia at the end of 1999). A dwarf with a black face (Vladimir Putin) will be like a man with a helmet and visor, half bald, half hairy, his eyes cast green and swampy, with a long nose. He will be in power when his two A's come together, and will sit on two tables (two positions - President and Prime Minister). He will not be loved by the people, but will be able to rally great power around himself. And there will be blood associated with the fall of the green-eyed helmet-bearer. Then he (Vladimir Putin) will be thrown into the abyss.”

Note. A dwarf with a black face means a person who has black and bad thoughts displayed on his face, but will pretend to be a bright and good person.

A man with a helmet and visor means a man with hidden thoughts, who has plans that he hides from everyone, and who is prone to deceiving people.

Long-nosed means a person who directs all his efforts to ensure that no one says or does anything against him, and for this he sticks his long nose into all spheres of people’s lives.

The prophets talk about the return of communism under Putin (in terms of the fact that its methods will be similar to the methods of the communists) in its worst version with surveillance, imprisonment of innocents and protesters. The only difference is that the communists justified their methods by the national interests of the Soviet Union, while Putin and his entourage act in the interests of transnational corporations and outright enemies of Russia. The Kremlin's liberal leadership is alien to Russia's national interests. Putin’s dictatorship is still relatively soft, but it will be much worse in the future (for example, the so-called repressive package of Yarovaya laws, sent to the State Duma from the table of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation). The prophets directly said about Putin that “the beast will awaken in him.” And this is logical, because when the economy reaches its complete collapse, as a result of which the people are impoverished (freezing pensions and salaries, curtailing social programs), in order to stay in power the ruler turns into a dictator. The indignation of the people by the mediocrity of the ruler can only be suppressed by force. Moreover, the use of force against the people is justified by the use of force for the benefit of the people and for the sake of saving the country. In fact, the country must be saved from the dictator himself, because nothing can harm the country more than the mediocrity of the dictator.

ELDER MONK JOSEPH (JUNGER) (2002):

“The Lord will so blind their minds that they will destroy each other with gluttony. The Lord will allow this on purpose to carry out a great cleansing. As for the one who rules the country, he will not be around for long, and what is happening now will not be for long, and then immediately there will be war. ...There will be a big massacre. Only about 600 million people will die...”

PREDICTIONS OF SCHEMONK JOHN FROM THE VILLAGE OF NIKOLSKOYE:

“There will be a great famine. There will be no electricity, no water, no gas. Only those who grow their own food will have a chance to survive. China will go to war against us and occupy all of Siberia to the Urals. The Japanese will rule the Far East. Russia will begin to be torn apart. A terrible war will begin... Russia will remain within the borders of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. ...The authorities will literally go wild. There will be such a famine that those who have received the “seal” will eat the dead. And most importantly, pray and hurry up to change your life so as not to live in sin, since there is absolutely no time left...”

THE LAST PROPHECY OF THE MATRONA OF MOSCOW:

“In 2017, humanity will perish. Pray, bad times are coming, pray. The end is near. Do less everyday things. Turn to God, save your soul. You don't know what awaits you. Such sorrows await you that you don’t know what awaits you... There will be many victims, all the dead will lie on the earth...”

PROPHECIES OF SCHIARCHIMANDRITE SERAPHIM:

“...The collapse of Russia, despite the apparent strength and rigidity of power, will happen very quickly. First, the Slavic peoples will separate... After this, the central power in Russia will begin to weaken even more, so that autonomous republics and regions will separate. Further collapse will occur: the authorities of the Center will cease to actually recognize individual regions that try to live independently, and will no longer pay attention to Decrees from Moscow. ...The country will lose its main deposits of raw materials... The Lord will allow the loss of the vast lands given to Russia, because we ourselves could not use them worthily, but only polluted them, spoiled them... The Slavic peoples have a common destiny...”

PELAGIA RYAZAN (1966):

“There will be great sorrow when the servants of the Antichrist will deprive believers of food, work, pensions... There will be groaning, crying and much more... Many will die... There will be a terrible famine... There will be no food, there will be no water, unspeakable heat, stings from animals at every step strangled people will hang... The Russian people will be strangled by all means. There will be so many suicides in our country. There's more to come. Hunger, and in hunger – cannibalism! War... Terrible troubles will befall Russia, many cities will be destroyed by the Lord Himself, although all churches will be opened. This power will change... These communists will come back!.. Whether a capitalist or a communist, everyone cares about themselves... Only the Tsar cares about the people. God will choose him! And almost the entire people, a corrupt people now, will choose the Antichrist for themselves!.. There is no need to save money, they will be lost... Many people will not bear this, because of the loss of their money they will hang themselves and commit suicide... There will be even greater persecution of our Faith... They will even take taxes from icons!.. All evil spirits will take up arms against Russia, against true Orthodoxy. ...The Antichrist will come to power in Russia and begin the persecution of Orthodoxy. And then the Lord will reveal his Tsar in Russia. He will be of the royal family and will be a strong defender of our Faith!.. Many people from all over the earth will gather to serve this King.”

PROPHECIES OF ELDER MACARIA (1993):

“... The Lord does not promise anything good, we will not get anything... War, everyone will be in war... many people will be killed... The dead are properly laid out, but we will have to go head over heels. There will be no one to bury, so they will dump them in a hole and bury them... A bad life will come... There will be a great famine, there will be no bread - we will divide the crust in half... There will be a crop failure... There will be a big uprising. It's bad that we lived to see the end of the world. Now there is a little left... They will start to persecute, take away... First they will take away the books, and then the icons. The icons will be taken away... no one will give a piece of bread.”

REVEREND LAVRENTY OF CHERNIGOV:

“...There will be such a worldwide war that no one will remain anywhere, except in the gorge... Christians will be killed or exiled to desert places... This disaster will last three and a half years.”

REVEREND KUKSHA OF ODESSA (1964):

“Terrible disasters are coming to the earth: fire, famine, death and destruction, and who can avert them! And this time is very close, do not listen to anyone if they say that there will be peace, no, there will be no peace, there will be war. And then a terrible famine will begin. And where will everything go immediately? There will be nothing to eat, and people will die from famine. People will be sent to the east, but not a single soul will return back, they will all die there. There will be a terrible death from the famine, and whoever remains alive will die from the pestilence. This contagious disease has no cure. It is not in vain that the holy prophet Ezra said: woe, woe for you, our land, one grief will pass, a second, a third will come, etc.

REVEREND THEODOSIUS (KASHIN), ELDER OF JERUSALEM (1948):

“Was there a war (World War II). There will be a war. It will start from the east. And then from all sides, like locusts, enemies will crawl towards Russia. This will be war!..”

BLESSED KIEV ELDER NUN ALPIA:

“This will not be a war, but the execution of peoples for their rotten state. Dead bodies will lie in mountains, no one will undertake to bury them... People will run from place to place.”

ELDER ANTONY:

“...The cities will present a terrifying sight. Even those that escape complete destruction, deprived of water and electricity, heat and food supply, they will resemble huge stone coffins, so many people will die. The gangs will endlessly commit their atrocities; even moving around the city during the day will be dangerous. At night, people will gather in large groups in order to try to survive together until the morning. The sunrise, alas, will herald not the joy of a new day, but the grief of having to live this day. There is no need to think that peace and prosperity will reign in the countryside. Poisoned, disfigured, incinerated by drought or flooded with rainfall fields will not produce the required harvest. There will be an unprecedented loss of livestock and people, unable to bury the animals, will leave them to decompose, poisoning the air. The peasants will suffer from attacks by townspeople who, in search of food, will disperse to the villages, ready to kill a person for a piece of bread. Yes, for this piece, which now cannot go down their throats without seasonings and sauces, blood will flow. Cannibalism will become commonplace. By accepting the seal of the Antichrist, humanity will erase all boundaries of morality. For villagers, night is also a period of special fear, because this time will be with the most brutal robberies. And you need to not only survive, but also preserve your property for work, otherwise you also risk starvation. The people themselves, as in the city, will also be hunted. From the outside it will seem that the antediluvian times have returned. Every large city is an outrage against nature, and it will become a source of disaster for people. First a source of misfortune, and then a common grave for those who lived in it. China will overwhelm most of Russia. All lands beyond and after the mountains will be yellow. The yellow invasion is not the only one. There will be a black invasion - hungry Africans stricken with incurable diseases will fill our cities and towns... Lately, everyone and everything will be in evil. Banks will burst to bring people to their knees. And they will burst overnight... And during the day it will be dangerous to be on the street because of gangs of robbers. They will die like urban stray animals - without confession, without Communion, without funeral services, even without coffins. It won’t be so easy to even bury bodies in a cemetery; corpses will lie in houses for days until relatives and friends can Prophecies for 2017.

Negotiate with the bandits controlling the resting places. Therefore, as always in difficult times, graves will begin to appear in courtyards and squares, wherever possible. They will be buried there secretly, trying to hide the grave, because crowds of the most fallen cannibals - scavengers - will wander in the city at night in the hope of profiting from carrion... The cattle will disappear, there will also not be enough food or water for their life. The rivers will either dry up or turn into sewers, emitting a deadly miasma. The same will happen with lakes and ponds... Inland seas will also die, and it will be impossible to live near them. Rotting floating fish, sea animals, and hydrogen sulfide rising from the bottom will bring unexpected death to the residents of the coast. So much for hunger. It is always terrible, but the earth has never seen anything like this - there will be no bread, no water, no Gospel love and compassion. This will be the sad result of human excess, following one’s passions. The recent famine will be even worse - hope for the best will disappear. Previously, people knew that if they could somehow hold on by the grace of God, they would see that they would come away from the new harvest and regain their strength. Now this will not happen, faith in God will disappear, and faith in the best will disappear. They will rely only on their own strength, to survive at the expense of their neighbors. Just as in besieged Leningrad, bandits pulled out bread cards from people, or took them by force, dooming a person, and sometimes an entire family, to starvation, so now they will steal and take away food. And kill. Siberia will be completely yellow. Far East by Japanese. And for Siberia, for its oil and gas, gold, etc., all the battles will not even be with ours, but with the Americans... The whole south will burn, Slavic blood will be shed! “Everyone, do you hear, Father, everyone will have to endure moral, spiritual and physical torment during these years.”

PROPHECY OF SAINT MALACHI:

This Irish priest made a list of all future popes since 1143. Under Benedict XVI (he is now the current Pope of Rome - the 111th on the list), whom the predictor calls by name, the world will face a catastrophe. After which the throne will be taken by the next 112th Peter of Rome or Peter II, under whom the end of the world will come. That is, under the current Pope, the world will face a gigantic catastrophe, and under the next Pope, the end of the world will come.

Note. What can save Russia and the world from these terrible prophecies? Almost all prophets claim that these prophecies can only be changed by the Tsar in Russia. Only God will give such an opportunity to the King.

SAINT THEOPHANES OF POLTAVA (1930):

“The Monarchy and Autocratic power will be restored in Russia. The Lord has pre-elected the future Tsar... God Himself will place a strong Tsar on the Throne.”

Archpriest NIKOLAY GURYANOV (2002):

“After the war... there will be an Orthodox Tsar.”

BASILY THE BLESSED:

“Russia will live a whole century without a Tsar.”

Note. In 2017 it will be one hundred years since the overthrow of the Tsar, which means that this year there will be a Tsar in Russia.

PROPHECIES OF THE SEER VASILY NEMCHIN:

“The Tsar in Russia... will be a sage and esotericist, possessing secret knowledge.”

Also prophesied about the return of the Tsar to Russia were Michel Nostradamus (see the article “Nostradamus’s Message to the Russian People”), Ragno Nero, Monk Abel, Lavrenty Chernigovsky and many others.

The meaning of all prophecies boils down to the fact that in 2016–2017 Russia will be on the verge of revolution, since due to the incompetent policies of the Russian leadership, the Russian economy will collapse and the people will sharply become impoverished. The first symptoms can be observed now. There will be mass rallies related to demands for Putin's resignation as President. The people will be faced with a choice: either a revolution with the inevitable horrors of a long civil war, or the Tsar. If Putin peacefully transfers power to the Tsar, then there will be no civil war. And with this Russia will be saved.

But there is another problem. It is unlikely that the world government will come to terms with the arrival of the Russian Tsar. Putin, who faithfully served the interests of oligarchic (i.e., Western) capital and was a fanatical champion of Western liberal ideology, fully suited the West, despite external criticism against him. It is quite logical that, taking advantage of the difficult internal situation in Russia, in the fall of 2017 the West will unleash a third world war, which, as indicated in the prophecies, will last three and a half years and end in February-March 2021. If by the spring of 2017 there is a Tsar in Russia, then we will survive. If there is no Tsar, there will be a revolution and a civil war, and then a third world war (after all, the West does not need any Russia, neither communist nor liberal). Almost no one will be able to survive this massacre.

Both the prophets of the past and modern predictors warn that Russia and the World have a chance to survive only if there is a Tsar in Russia in 2017!!! Any other outcome means death, both for Russia and for the rest of the World. In 2016–2017, it will be decided whether there will be a Tsar in Rus', and whether Russia will exist at all. Each of us will have to make a choice.
