Vanga's story and her predictions

If Vanga is right World War Three begins next year.

By Yannis Vaks

In 1923, in the village “New Selo” not far from the town “Petrich” 3 young girls were walking along the village road towards the stream when suddenly the sky turned black, the wind picked up and a frightening storm begun.

The girls were immobilised with fear, The wind knocked two of the girls onto the ground and blew one of them off her feet and into the sky. The two remaining girls were so frightened so they ran home and were so shocked by what had happened that they couldn’t speak - they came back without their cousin. When the storm calmed down, people went out to search for the12-year old and within an hour they had found her. She was lying in a field in shock with her eyes full of sand. Slowly Vanga went blind.

The first time I heard her name was in early childhood. Vanga is the most famous psychic in Russia and the former Soviet republics Ordinary people know who she is. If you ask someone: "Who is Nostradamus?" people will say “I don’t know. Who is he?”, but if you ask about Vanga – everyone will say “Oh yes, she’s the one who could see the future!”

After she went blind, Vanga started to see pictures in her head and they were terrible visions. It is said that her first prediction was about her mother. Little Vanga told her mother that her hand would be scalded and it actually happened. People began to tell each other about the wonderful little blind girl who could see the future. That’s how her story began.

What really impressed me was Vanga's prediction regarding Kursk. I heard about this prediction when I was younger. I was in Gagri on holiday and a news reader announced that the atomic submarine Kursk had sunk in the Barentsovo sea. I immediately remembered Vanga's old prediction:

"The Kursk won't stay up and it will go under the water."

Previously, people thought she had meant the Russian town "Kursk", which is situated near the Caucuses, deep in the interior on a Russian peninsula. How could Kursk go under water? The prediction was absurd. But when the disaster in Barentsovo sea was announced, we were quite shocked. Her prediction made sense.

The sinking of the Kursk was a national disaster. Everything had seemed all right with the nuclear submarine. Afterwards, reporters and sick minds begun to speculate about US involvement in the accident: an attack by a US submarine, about dangerous UFOs and so on and so forth.

But for me it seemed obvious that Vanga had somehow known that the Kursk would be sunk. She also mentioned that many people will be very shaken up by the news. This proved to be the case. The Russian government then spent a lot of money on salvaging the ship. However, at the last moment the submarine broke into two pieces, which meant that the authorities had to spend even more money on salvage.

Some of Vanga's predictions are stunning. She predicted that Kennedy would be assassinated four months before his death and that Apollo 11 would land on the moon.

What I also remember about Vanga is that lots of people were very happy when they could see her and to talk to her. Moreover, for every person who came to visit her, she had a little piece of advice - how to do the right thing, what to expect in the future. Even world leaders found their way to her house and visited her. These included: Stalin, Hitler, Brezhnev, Gorbachev, and many others The only topic she refused to talk about was the after life and the supernatural. She told Hitler when he would die.

But some of her predictions were also about the near future. One of them, frighteningly enough, is about the onset of World War III. She said: "It will begin in Hindustan in 2008." Many think when she said Hindustan she was referring perhaps to Georgia or the conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan. “When the Russian soldiers will enter this territory, terrible things will happen” she said. We all remember what happened in Georgia in autumn 2008.

What we can expect from this terrible future? Is Vanga right? We can only hope that for once Vanga is wrong. World War III is predicted by Vanga to begin in 2010. Next year. Unfortunately for us, a Russian scientist who has made an analysis of her predictions says that, statistically, Vanga is 80% correct.

Sceptically speaking, her words were quite confused, and different people could easily interpret her words differently. What else did she predict for our future? Among other things Vanga also said that the China would be the world leader from 2018.

Westerners are not familiar with Vanga’s predictions, though they are familiar with the predictions of Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce. Here are a few of Vanga's more shocking predictions for you:

2008 - Russian soldiers invade an eastern country setting off a chain of events leading to WWIII.

2010 - World War III breaks out.

2011 – after the radioactive fallout in the Northern Hemisphere not even an animal or plant will survive. Then Muslims will begin chemical war against the remaining Europeans.

2014 – the majority of the people will suffer from skin cancer and other skin diseases.

2016 – Europe almost depopulated (!)

2023 – The Earth’s orbit will change slightly.

    Vanga is the most famous psychic in Bulgaria,
    NOT Russia, she was born in a small Bulgarian village called Rupite,
    so please correct this.

  4. If you read what the writer says, and the writer is Russian, then you see that he knows full well that Vanga is Bulgarian. He's just saying that she's the most famour in Russia.

    Thanks for the clarification about Rupite.

Guardian: Kate Harding's reactionary censorious blog on CiF

It should go without saying... ....that we condemn the scummy prat who called Liskula Cohen : "a psychotic, lying, whoring ... skank" But I disagree with Kate Harding , (in my view a pseudo blogger), posting her blog in the Guardian attacking bloggers. It's a case of set a thief to catch a thief. The mainstream media is irritated by bloggers because they steal its thunder and so they comission people like Kate Harding , people with nothing to say for themselves, apparently, other than that they are feminists, to attack bloggers. I'm black. So I can legitimately attack "angry white old men". I'm a feminist, so I have carte blanche to call all anonymous bloggers "prats." Because yes, that is her erudite response to bloggers. No I don't say that the blogging medium can't be used to attack progressives in whatever context. Of course it can. But to applaud the censorship of a blogger by a billion dollar corporate like Google, and moreov...

The Guardian books bloggers' poetry anthology

There more to composing poetry online than this. ..isn't there? I don't really like conventional poetry of knowing. I love the poetry of words coming into being. The Guardian is going to publish a printable book online with our poems in it and the Irish poet, Billy Mills is getting it together with Sarah Crown, the literary editor. Good for them. Let's also remember that Carol Rumens got the ball rolling. Does Des feature in this anthology? Taboo-busting Steve Augustine decided not to join in. So what are we left with? In the anthology we will be left with a colourful swatch of well-meant, undeniably conventional, occasionally clever, verses - some of them. But there could be, there should be and there is a lot more to on-line poetry than this. Than agile monkeys, koalas and sad sloths climbing up word trees. Perhaps we should focus in on translation, because in translation there is a looseness of form and a dynamism such as, it seems, we can't easily encounter in our...

Guardian books blog fringe: Norman Mailer

FLASHING THE GUARDIAN -- A BOOKS BLOGGERS' REBELLION :  The unheroic censor with a death wish Part 1: In which Norman Mailer stars in an experiment in search engine optimisation By ACCIACCATURE 3 February 2009 When Norman Mailer died in 2007, informed opinion – in the blogosphere, people who had read at least two of his books – was split. The army of readers who saw him as one of the most despicable misogynists writing fiction in the 20th century was perfectly matched by warriors on the other side, who raged that the label wasn’t just unwarranted but tantamount to heinous calumny. Before commenters returned to bitching-as-usual, tempers were lost on literary sites all over the net in debating temperatures high enough to bring to mind tiles burning off space shuttles re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. After I'd agreed to a spontaneous suggestion by our good friend Sean Murray -- a pioneer and stalwart of the comments section of The Guardian’s books blog – that we re-...
