You’ve probably heard of a fugitive Russian psychic named Karazhaev, but have you ever seen him? Currently on Russia’s wanted list, the elusive psychic is wanted on drug possession and theft charges. You may have even seen him as a magician in the popular reality show “Battle of the Psychics.” But is he a real psychic? We have all wondered about this, and are now more aware than ever about the dangers of contacting a shady psychic.
Anatoly Kashpirovsky
Anatoly Kashpirovsky is a renowned Russian psychic who has been active on the media for over two decades. He was also a successful political candidate in the 1990s, when he ran for deputy in the State Duma. However, in 1995, he resigned from the Liberal Democratic Party. This move was accompanied by a subtext that he had to step down from his position because the entire Duma was united in opposition to him and they were afraid of the influence he might have on their political agenda.
After receiving an honorary doctorate in psychology, Kashpirovsky worked as a psychotherapist at a mental hospital. He eventually quit his job and became a psychic, claiming to have the power to cure the nation of any affliction. In fact, he even helped the Soviet weightlifting team dominate at the 1988 Olympics. His popularity with the audience was so widespread that he was hired as a psychotherapist by an all-Soviet weightlifting team, allowing him to combine his professional and psychic abilities.
However, some psychologists believe Kashpirovsky’s comeback is more than a coincidence. They say the return of Kashpirovsky may be a political maneuver, aimed at appeasing the Russian public, and diverting attention from the rising levels of state brutality and falling living standards. This return may be a double-edged sword, but in any case, Kashpirovsky is making history.
The Russian emigrant community was outraged when an elderly pensioner’s life was at stake because of an outbreak of the coronavirus. The pensioner was bombarded with hundreds of messages asking for the psychic’s help. Although Kashpirovsky initially ignored the requests to save him, he later recovered from the virus, despite the coronavirus.
The Soviet ekstrasensy were a cultural phenomenon. Both Western and Soviet newspapers grappled with the proliferation of the paranormal. Argumenty i Fakty even published articles encouraging people to exercise caution when engaging with psychics. However, the widespread popularity of parapsychology in Russia did not dampen its growth. Kashpirovsky and his followers did not suffer from these issues, and they even claimed that their own lives were saved from the chaos.
Psychic healers are often associated with political campaigns. In the Perestroika era, a prominent Russian psychic healer, Anatoly Kashpirovsky, was active in political campaigns. A former psychiatric hospital employee, Kashpirovsky was famous in the Soviet Union and performed healing sessions for patients in Moscow. During the Perestroika era, Kashpirovsky was invited to a popular television program, Vzglyad.
While a controversial figure in Russia, Kashpirovsky made waves worldwide for his healing abilities. His televised seances earned him an election to parliament in 1993. He incorporated a new healing technique, where he claimed to cure hemorrhoids by pressing a portion of the affected part to a TV screen during a seance. This practice enraged many and has caused a backlash in the past.
Nina Kulagina
In the 1970s, Russian psychic Nina Kulagina was testing her abilities on animals. A scientist set up an experiment to see if she could move inanimate objects. In her first test, she controlled the heart rate of a frog. Using intense will power, she made the heart beat faster and then stopped it. Scientists were surprised by her abilities and wanted to know more. They were able to observe Kulagina’s abilities in action in Leningrad.
Many people were skeptical about her abilities, but she remained defiant, claiming to be able to see things in people’s pockets. Another reported occurrence was that she could tell when a person was sick by analyzing images in the person’s mind. This led to a dispute with Dr. Zverev, who later reported that Kulagina had used her powers on soldiers. According to Russian psychic Nina Kulagina, her ability to see inanimate objects was a result of paranormal exertions.
A group of researchers investigating psychic phenomena in Russia contacted Kulagina to test her abilities. They were impressed by her ability to move objects. According to McGary, Kulagina was able to “make objects move across the table.”
In the early 1960s, Vasiliev conducted tests on Nina Kulagina and her ability to move objects. During one of these tests, Nina Kulagina caused a compass needle to spin. She was also able to move matchboxes without touching them. Her ability was filmed and presented to the first Moscow parapsychology conference. She was hailed as the most successful subject in the experiment.
Her powers were widely acclaimed after her best-selling book appeared in the 1970s. She appeared on numerous famous videos in the late 1960s and was mentioned in a 1978 U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency report. Many magicians have claimed that her feats could only be performed by a master manipulator. The Russian psychic Nina Kulagina made quite a splash after being published in her book, and her abilities continue to amaze.
In the recent Stanger Things season four trailer, the show hints at the existence of a Russian Psychic, Nina Kulagina. The series’ title “The Nina Project” hints at a mysterious connection between her and the Cold War. Kulagina’s biography on Wikipedia is available in 16 different languages, including English, French, Spanish, and Italian. It’s now the 25th most popular biography in the world.
Baba Vanga
The Russian psychic predicted many things, including the fall of the Soviet Union in 2001 and the political triumph of Boris Yeltsin. He also predicted the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the death of Princess Diana, as well as the collapse of the economy in Europe in 2010. He also predicted that the world would end in 2021, and the start of World War III in 2010.
Vanga is often mentioned in the yellow press for his predictions, many of which contradict one another. Vanga was not able to predict the death of Stalin, the Chernobyl nuclear accident, the 1996 presidential elections, the September 11 attacks, the World Chess Championship, or the USSR’s demise. He did, however, seem to predict that the USSR would return to power in the early 21st century and that Bulgaria would be included in the USSR. In addition, he predicted that a new generation would come into power in Russia.
Despite his blindness, Baba Vanga made some incredible predictions. He predicted that Russia would rule the world, and that Putin would become ‘Lord of the World.’ Other predictions are more hit-or-miss. In 1979, he predicted that Russia would become a superpower and would conquer the planet. In addition to that, he predicted that China would be the next superpower and that Venus would be the site of a new type of energy. However, he has not been able to connect these predictions with current events in Ukraine.
Many of Baba Vanga’s predictions have come true. In his lifetime, he made many predictions that have come true. Some of these predictions include the attack of the locusts in different countries, the devastation of a tsunami, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Baba Vanga’s predictions aren’t exactly fun to read, but many followers are convinced that she knew about events such as 9/11.
Some critics of the alleged Russian psychic claim that his work was faked. However, one Russian journalist who wrote a book on Vanga’s work says he was deceived by a Bulgarian magazine. The journalist was unaware of the connection between the two men, but later revealed that the alleged psychic predicted Philipp’s recovery and his great future. In fact, his vision is now understood as Philipp performing on a microphone at the music Olympus.
One of the most popular Russian psychics, Baba Vanga has predicted the future of the world. She believes that her power to foresee the future is a supernatural ability. She made hundreds of predictions about events in the future, including the use of nuclear weapons in World War 3. A year later, Baba Vanga’s prediction of the Kursk sinking in 2000 came true. That happened exactly one year later. Baba Vanga also predicted that aliens would send an asteroid called ‘Oumuamua’ to Earth to look for life, and that we would spend more time in front of screens.
