An Ancient Baba Vanga Prophecy Returns to the Spotlight

Just days before the end of 2025, a prediction attributed to the Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga, whose real name was Vangelia Pandeva Gushterova, has once again gained traction across social media and international outlets.

The vision, linked to major geopolitical events, has resurfaced in a global context marked by military tensions and recent astronomical phenomena.

Interest in the prophecy was renewed following the close passage of the interstellar comet 3I Atlas on December 19—an event some interpreted as the symbolic fulfillment of one of the visions attributed to the so-called “Nostradamus of the Balkans.”

Baba Vanga is said to have warned that “a new light in the sky will appear during a major sporting event, and people around the world will see it.”

This phrase gained renewed attention after the observation of comet 3I Atlas, which passed near Earth and was visible from multiple regions of the world.

The event reignited interest in other predictions linked to the mystic, particularly those referencing dramatic shifts in the global order beginning in 2026.

Among the most discussed is the prophecy directly involving Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Russia’s Role in a New International Scenario

According to the revived prophecy, the year 2026 would be marked by extraordinary events affecting humanity on multiple levels. These include medical breakthroughs with ethical dilemmas, a possible first extraterrestrial contact, and a new large-scale international conflict.

Within this context, the prediction claims that Russia would become entangled in a global escalation stemming from a conflict in Asia.

The vision suggests that China would take control of Taiwan, intensifying confrontation with the United States and indirectly drawing the Kremlin into a broader conflict.

One of the most striking aspects of the prophecy is the personal fate Baba Vanga allegedly foresaw for Vladimir Putin.

According to this interpretation, the Russian leader would face a fatal outcome in 2026, with two possible scenarios.

The first points to the death of the Kremlin leader, while the second suggests a coup driven by opposition forces within Russia.

Both outcomes lead to the same result: Putin’s removal from power at a moment of extreme international tension.

Prior to either scenario, the prophecy claims the world would enter a period of instability, with conflicts escalating beyond the current Russia–Ukraine war.

A World in Crisis After the Russian Leader’s Exit

According to the vision attributed to Baba Vanga, Putin’s absence would shatter the balance achieved between Russia and the United States.

The stability that, according to the prophecy, had been established between Donald Trump and the Russian leader would collapse, pushing global conflict to a new level.

The scenario culminates in a prolonged international crisis, lasting until Taiwan complies with China’s demand for reintegration—keeping the world in a constant state of tension.

In recent days, China announced sanctions against U.S. defense companies following new arms sales to Taiwan, a geopolitical backdrop that many cite as lending renewed relevance to this ancient Baba Vanga prophecy in 2026.
