Complete biography of Wanga

St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. Some still unconditionally believe in her gift of clairvoyance, others are looking for undeniable evidence and do not find, others only skeptically ask why, with her mysterious power, she failed to save from the death of her brother and husband. Nevertheless, the Vanga phenomenon still reports from both skeptics and believers over the minds, and scientists, journalists, biographers, and filmmakers try to explore her life.

The clairvoyant Wang childhood, youth, the Vangelia family was born in January of the year in the family of Bulgarian peasants Pande and the Paraskeva Surchevs according to other sources - Dimitov in the city of Strumitsa from the year this is the territory of Bulgaria, now - Northern Macedonia. The newborn was very weak. Relatives did not hope that she would survive, and were in no hurry to give her a name.

But still it was decided to follow the custom: the first person was asked for a name for a girl. He named the name of Andromach, but the woman in labor shall shake this option: it sounded too “in Greek”. In those years, anti -Greek moods increased among the Bulgarians who lived in modern Macedonia. Contrary to tradition, Paraskeva waited for the second traveler. The second name - Vangeelia Good news - liked the mother much more.

When the baby was getting stronger and the threat of life passed, she was called that. Wangelia was three years old when my mother died. Pande Surchev, a great patriot, proud of his nationality, who previously participated in the pro-Bulgarian revolutionary movements, at that time joined the Bulgarian army and went to the war. The girl remained in the care of the neighbors. Father returned alive from the front, but a new trouble was waiting for the family.

After the end of the First World War, Strumitsa departed to Yugoslavia. The new government arrested Panda, he was released, but lost all the property. The family fell into poverty for a long time. In the year, his father, along with Wangelia, moved to Novo-Selo, where he married a second time. The stepmother has always found work for the girl, but Vangelia always managed to cut off the time for games.

True, her games were somewhat strange: she herself hid the toys, and then, closing her eyes, she began to look for them blindly. In the same year, a tragedy occurred in Wangelia's life. She was carried away with a hurricane quite far from the house. They searched for the girl for a long time, and when they discovered, Vangelia's eyes were clutched by sand and hurt so much that she was afraid to open them and lay on the ground, closing her eyelids tightly.

Washing the eyes did not help. Parents were told that they need to do the operation, otherwise their daughter would blind. But the poor peasants did not have money. Having collected everything that they had, they were able to pay only partial treatment, and over time the girl was really blinded. There is another version of vange purchased by vanga. Allegedly, she was raped at the pasture and groaned her eyes.

This information was shared by the journalist Svyatoslav Todorkov, who allegedly found the information of the weather services, which agreed in those places not so strong winds as to take away the child so far. She found a police report, from which it followed that in the year, a blinded girl with traces of abuse on the body was found on the outskirts of the Novo-Selo community.

Vanga herself did not say anything then or then about the tragedy that happened to her, but, as it turned out later, she could not have children, which became another blow for the seer.

When Vangelia was 16 years old, his father took Vangeelia to the House of the Blind to the Serbian city of Zemun. There, she learned to cook and play the piano, read Braille and knit, do cleaning and much more that could be useful in life of a blind person. In total, Vanga spent three years in the house of the blind. All acquired skills were useful to her when the girl returned home and replaced her father and brothers the mistress of the house instead of her stepmother who died during childbirth.

She very cleverly managed with the household, looked after younger children, helped her father. Her knitted hats were bought by fellow villagers and rare drivers. Everyone in the village, as he could, helped the family, and soon Wangelia herself became an invaluable assistant for the villagers. Prophecies strange events began to occur with Wang at the end of the year. She somehow miraculously herself was herself from pleurisy, which earned, standing barefoot on the cement floor in the queue in the queue for payment for the poor.

Soon, the girl spoke of the “mysterious horseman”, after the appearance of which she allegedly began to have the gift of foresight. First, the inhabitants of the village, and then the surrounding villages reached for the newly -minted healer and clairvoyant. She deciphered dreams, treated herbs and infusions, supposedly began to hear the voices of the dead.

She herself believed that her gift is from God, because she was a deeply religious person. Soon, there was no end from visitors. Even the Bulgarian king Boris III visited it. Everyone wanted to know whether husbands, grooms, brothers from the war, where they are now, were not injured. And Vanga told in detail about her visions. There was one condition for prediction - the petitioner must oversleep the night on a piece of sugar and bring it to her.

The seer did not take money from people, but if someone brought products or clothes, she did not refuse.After the Second World War, the communist power tried to stop Vanga’s activity, but did not dare to use repression openly. In the middle of X, when she already lived in the village of Rupit, the situation has changed. Among its visitors, famous people were increasingly listed: politicians, artists, writers.

The Bulgarian authorities decided to streamline the activities of Wanga, and it began to be called a state -owned employee as a predictor. She was paid a monthly salary in dollars, assigned the cost of visits. Vanga’s confession visits for citizens from socialism were worth the leftist, for citizens from capitalism - $ 50. An assistant was attached to the prophetess who followed the order and was entering the reception to Vanga.

Many critics say that Vangelia Pandev Gusterov was only a successful commercial project of the Bulgarian government and did not possess any prophetic gift. But the flow of people who eager to find out about both their fate and how global problems are resolved did not run out. Vanga herself proposed to explore her with furious skeptics, to observe what she did and why people believe her.

Zhivkova introduced the predictor with the artist Svyatoslav Roerich and religious leader of the neoinduyism of Satya Sai Baba and listened to the advice of Wanga until the end of her life. One of the last visitors of the clairvoyant was the “last king of Bulgaria” by Simeon II. With some special, childish joy, Vang received guests from the Soviet Union. It is Vange that they attribute the prediction of the collapse of the USSR: supposedly she stated that "a large country will fall into many small", and Russia will become a "spiritual center and a guide for other peoples." The oddity is that all people close to the soothsayer are relatives, assistants, treating doctors - as one assured: Vanga did not make global forecasts.

This was claimed by her grandchildren Karomoril Georgiev-Nicolaev, who in an interview said that she had never heard from her grandmother forecasts about the fate of countries, or the future world civilization. Even politicians, according to her, came to Wang on personal issues, and mostly visitors were ordinary people with their misfortunes, diseases, problems.

These pilgrims later talked about the miracles created by the predictor. For example, the academician and researcher of the human brain Natalya Bekhtereva said that Vanga informed her that her husband was “something wrong” and she almost does not see him. In the same year, the husband died. The author of the Soviet anthem, Sergei Mikhalkov, recalled how relief he experienced when the clairvoyant exclaimed when he appeared, that “this Russian would live long,” and actress Alla Demidova was surprised when Vanga told her that she had to do scientific research, and not work on stage.

Whether it really was, or not, now it is impossible to confirm. Be that as it may, the Vanga phenomenon is one of the most mysterious in the history of the twentieth century and still haunts people who are looking for her revelations on the Internet. But often they stumble upon all kinds of charlatans using the name of the Great Bulgarian blind for selfish purposes.

Since the year, Wang has accepted more than a million people. The seer herself called herself “the second after the worms”, because only they work daily longer than her. The personal life of Vanga, according to the testimony of the niece of Ksolomira Stoyanova, her aunt could become happy in family life if she married a young man with whom her love in the Blind House connected her. But life circumstances developed so that Vanga was forced to return to the father’s house, because after the death of the stepmother during childbirth in the arms of her father, her young brothers Vasil and Tom and Sister Lyubka remained.

Caring for them and the farm lay on the shoulders of Wangelia. The husband of the prophetess became a soldier Dimiter Huster. According to one version, he came to her to find out who killed his brother, on the other - he saw her in front of the church when Vangelia was collecting alms. Blind voiced his prediction: they will get married and they will have children.

Dimiter was supposed to marry another girl, but superstitions in those days were very strong. He married Wang in the year and moved her to his native Petrich, where the soothsayer lived with him for twenty years. The couple did not have children. According to rumors, Dimiter and Vangelia did not even live like a husband and wife. In the year, summer huster died from cirrhosis of the liver due to many years of drunkenness.

A few years after his funeral, Vanga still had two children: the adopted son of Dimiter Volchev and the adopted daughter of Violetta. Both received a good education, Dimiter became a lawyer, an employee of the prosecutor's office. He has his own happy family. The death and memory of Wang according to the clairvoyant's relatives, she predicted the date of her death and passed away with a smile of relief.

This happened on August 11. Before that, the doctors found her breast cancer, but she abandoned mastectomy. Vangelia said that she did not need to mourn her, since she was very tired of carrying a cross that fate has prepared for her.Contrary to Wanga’s desire to be buried in the courtyard of the house in which she lived for the past twenty years, her remains were buried in the fence of the chapel of St.

Paraskeva in the village of Rupit. A monument to the seer was erected there and the house-museum was opened.
