Blind mystic Baba Vanga who ‘predicted 9/11’ also claimed Putin will be ‘lord of the world’ in haunting prophecy
A BLIND mystic who is said to have predicted 9/11 and Russia's invasion of Ukraine claimed Putin will become "lord of the world".
Baba Vanga, known as the "Nostradamus of the Balkans", died 25 years ago - but is believed to have possessed an uncanny knack for predicting major world events.
It has been suggested that she believed Russia will dominate the world after a meeting in 1979 with writer Valentin Sidorov.
reports that during the interview, Vanga said: “All will thaw, as if ice, only one remain untouched - Vladimir’s glory, glory of Russia.
"Too much it is brought in a victim. Nobody can stop Russia.
"All will be removed by her from the way and not only will be kept, but also becomes the lord of the world."

She also made a chilling prophecy about the use of nuclear weapons and World War 3, it is claimed.
The psychic grew up on a farm in what is now Macedonia and was blinded after being dragged into a tornado as a child.
Believers say the freak cyclone is responsible for her second sight.
During her lifetime, it is claimed she predicted the Covid-19 pandemic, the September 11 attack in 2001, the death of Princess Diana and the Chernobyl disaster.

She first shot to prominence after reportedly accurately predicting the sinking of the Kursk in 2000.
She claimed that in August 1999, "Kursk will be covered with water and the whole world will weep over it."
The Russian nuclear sub sank 12 months after the date Vanga allegedly predicted, killing all onboard.
And in 1989, she apparently said: “Horror, horror!
"The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds.
"The wolves will be howling in a bush, and innocent blood will be gushing.”
Some say this relates to the attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York.
Experts who have researched her prophecies say 68 per cent are accurate - while her followers say 85 per cent are correct.
Among her incorrect predictions were that the 45th president of the US would be faced with a crisis which would "bring the country down".
Donald Trump certainly faced some huge challenges while in office, but America is still very much standing.
The jury is still out on some of her other claims.

Vanga believed humankind will make its first contact with alien life forms who will arrive in asteroids.
But the extraterrestrials will not come in peace - and instead, she said: “Alien ships will attack Earth and they will bomb cities and take people captive."
