Russian Prophecies

[Ashot]

But the lives of people and the fortune of nations are very different stories. While the fortune of a person is his or her own affair, those of countries, and of the world, are the problems of mankind. Philosophers, astrologers, and fortune-tellers have been giveing advice on these matters through the ages. Yes, people may have different attitudes to prophecies, but regardless of one's opinions about them, one thing is for sure: they are fascinating.

 

One historical figure that has come to be synonymous with prophecies is Nostradamus, whose name happens to be one of the most frequently searched on the Internet. His "Centuries" are said to have prophesied the burning and devastation of Moscow in 1571, Napoleon's defeat in 1812, the victory of communism in Russia and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union.

 

Recently, Russia pulled off a hat trick: hockey, football and Eurovision. The country was ecstatic and there was jubilation in the air. The press was obsessed about it, and still are. Among all the chaos I read the following comment on the Internet: When the Northern Empire wins on Ice and Grass and its Clown sings his song, Red Clouds will cover the Sky and the Apocalypse will come. This grim prophecy was said to have been one of the Bulgarian prophetess Vanga's predictions, and that made me think about Russia's future. Sear­ching for some evidence to substantiate the claim, I found out the passage was a harmless joke. Still, there are lots of prophecies about Russia that make people sit up and pay attention.

 

Vanga was born at the turn of the 20th century and died 12 years ago at the age of 84. Her gift of prophesy made her popular, and soon politicians visited her to have their fortunes told.

 

Among her most shocking predictions is what she had predicted in 1980: In August of 1999 or 2000, Kursk will be covered with water and the whole world will be weeping over it. Twenty years later, the nuclear submarine "Kursk" perished in an accident.

 

In January 1988 she said: We are witnessing events of paramount significance. Two big leaders shake hands. But we have to wait for a long time before the Eighth one will come forth and sign a final peace agreement on Earth. The first part of the prediction made reference to Gorbachev and Reagan, and the second to the fact that Russia joined the Group of Seven, now the G-8.

 

In the same way, she predicted some other events of world history. In 1989: The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel bird. The wolves will howl in the bush, and innocent blood will flow. It happened as predicted: The "Twin" towers of the World Trade Center in New York collapsed apparently because two commercial planes - "steel birds" - were flown into them. She predicted lots of things - the Chernobyl disaster, Boris Yeltsin's election win and so on. It is even said that Adolf Hitler left a visit with her looking very upset.

 

One of the popular predictions about Russia is that when the permafrost thaws and the floods come, nothing will survive on Earth but Russia. The climate will change and Russia will occupy the best inhabitable zone. Plus, Russia is predicted to herald in world peace and flourish in the face of good fortune.

 

Vanga also once said: "Everything melts away like ice yet the glory of Vladimir, the glory of Russia are the only things that will remain. Russia will not only survive, it will dominate the world."

 

Russia is on a roll with assorted victories. Whether we can believe that Russia will initiate world peace, however, remains to be seen.

Yes! Of course that idiot Nostradamus, nostramoronus also prophesied that khash and khorovats, no, no not shashlik or borscht would be respectively the official breakfast and lunch dishes of the 2008 Olympics.

Or was it, hi Sip, the Mongolian Buffet?

Prophesies happen only when we bring it upon ourselves. They are worth less than the cost the clay and stone tablets they’re written on.

Let me be the next nostradumbus and predict that the khash pot will boil over, flood the entire area and the khorovats fire will consume the region.

Don’t forget that nostradumbus also prophesied that the “YELLOW (Chinese) sun will rise from the EAST” . It would have been a prophesy if he had said the “pale" sun will rise from the WEST! :goof: and more How about if he had said that the “ice will come from Africa, rather than from Siberia”?

What a moron

Where and how that idiot prophesy that the (yellow) Chinese will host and dominate the 2008 Olympics?

I can also prophesy that tomorrow the sun will rise from the east, that there will be more rain. Who told me that? My local weatherman prophet, that the cold will come from the north , my apologies to our brothers in Canada, and that the heat will come from the south, once again to our brothers in Syunik.and Sudan .

Do you want to learn more about “prophesies’? Read that “Book of Comics”, also know as the Bible, beginning with Isaiah and ending with Malachi, not to forget that other cannabis laden idiot John of the Revelations who saw fiery chariots up in the sky. If he were alive today he would be in the “chemical detox rehab” ward.

Speaking of prophesies and astrology. How many of us read their horoscope first thing in the morning to see if they would not be killed in an auto accident pulling out of their driveway

I don’t know about her.

In the month of February 1989 I wrote a letter to the editor wondering(a public matter), on the aftermath of the devastatingly tragic Earthquake, if Leninakan would be renamed Gorbachevakan, Kirovakan would be renamed Vladadzor?

See what happened.

Gumri and Vanadzor. Of course, in those day even I could not imagine "karagagakukumangabububakh" would be renamed ARTSAKH.

If I had lived 2000 years ago my Book would also be among the “prophets”!!
