Why the messenger did not communicate with the dead. Wolf Messing: where he is buried, biography and predictions

This man still remains one of the most mysterious and enigmatic personalities of the last century. Today you will find out where Wolf Grigorievich Messing is buried and why Adolf Hitler placed a reward on his head. Was he a real mentalist or was he just fooling people?

Biography

Where Wolf Messing is buried and why the Honored Artist of the RSFSR died will be told a little later, but for now let’s remember where this extraordinary man was born. In the small village of Gura Kalvaria, the devout Gershek raised four sons. The family was poor, and the boys had to work to help their parents. Little Wolf caused a lot of problems with his somnambulism. The father found a good way out of the situation - they placed a basin with cold water in front of the boy’s bed, and lowering his feet to the floor in his sleep, he immersed them in ice water. So over time he got rid of sleepwalking.

The father wanted to make the boy a rabbi and for this he resorted to deception. He hired a tramp who appeared before Wolf in the form of an angel and told him that great things awaited him if he chose this path. However, after several years of study, he escapes to Berlin. On the way, he realizes for the first time that he has hypnosis. Instead of a ticket, he hands the conductor a piece of paper, and at the same time looks into his eyes. The man mistook it for a travel card.

In Berlin

In the capital, the young man had a very bad time: working as a messenger, he could not even earn money for food. After another hungry faint, he was taken to the morgue, where he woke up safely three days later. Psychiatry professor Abel became interested in the unique boy and took him into his home. He successfully teaches Wolf to control his own body and read the thoughts of other people. Soon he was able not only to fall into a lethargic sleep, but also to turn off any painful sensations by force of will.

His first fame came after he became a circus performer. His colleagues hid things in the auditorium, and Messing appeared looking for them and received applause. During the First World War, he traveled all over Europe and returned home. He was already rich and famous, but a great test lay ahead of him. In 1939, the Nazis captured Poland and all the brothers, father and relatives were shot in Majdanek. Wolf managed to leave for the Soviet Union on time.

Not just an artist, but a real Person!

In the union, he continued to perform and demonstrate his psychological experiments. With the money received from the concerts, he was able to sponsor the construction of the Yak-7 fighter. Hero Konstantin Kovalev flew it until the end of the Second World War. Messing became friends with the pilot, and the people appreciated the artist’s patriotic act.

There were more influential people among my acquaintances. Joseph Stalin, although he was skeptical about Messing’s talent, listened to his predictions. In this way he saved the life of his son. Wolf predicted a plane crash, and the Secretary General forbade Vasily to fly with the hockey team. No one survived that disaster.

Under the yoke of power

Messing had, if not friendly, then quite warm relations with Stalin, and his successor became enemy number one for the artist. Nikita Sergeevich took the place of his main enemy. But at the same time I constantly felt his shadow behind me. He made all decisions with caution, and this could not help but strain the head of state. But most of all, Stalin’s authority put pressure on him. He began to make attempts to destroy the cult of the leader and for this he needed the help of Messing. They could not openly announce that the Soviet people were fighting for a tyrant and a murderer, so they had to act in a roundabout way. He forced Messing to speak at a congress, where he had to read out predictions. One of them was the need to remove the leader’s body from the Kremlin. Wolf categorically refused to play with such things - he made predictions only if he was absolutely sure of them. But he was not going to say what was beneficial to Khrushchev. The fall has begun.

Oblivion

Since 1960, Messing began having problems with performances. At first he exchanged huge halls for village clubs, but soon he was barred from going there too. Khrushchev did not forgive disobedience. After the death of his wife, the artist became a recluse. He lived with two lapdogs, whom he doted on. His wife's sister looked after him. Until his death in 1974, he was never able to return to his previous activities.

Wolf Messing: where he is buried and photo of the grave

The artist’s death was not unexpected for him: before leaving for the hospital, he said goodbye to the apartment. The fortuneteller knew that he would not return here again. After successful surgery on his legs, his kidneys failed and his lungs swelled. If you are interested in information about where Wolf Messing is buried and how to get there, you should use the map. His grave is located at the Vostryakovsky cemetery, which can be reached by metro. The stop you need is Southwestern. If you go by ground transport, it is better to choose bus 718, 752 and 720. Route taxis 71 and 91 will also take you to the place where Wolf Messing is buried. The years of his life (1899-1974) and the artist’s portrait on a black granite monument will help identify his grave.

Predictions

Wolf Messing made a large number of predictions, but the most famous prediction was the prophecy about the loss of Nazi Germany in World War II. He even hinted to Hitler that if he turned east, he would be killed. Instead of listening to Messing's words, Adolf declared a hunt for him. A reward of 210 thousand marks was placed on his head (a huge amount at that time).

After this incident, the artist became cautious with his visions, and preferred to keep silent about what he saw in short flashes of insight. All modern forums, websites and other information resources mislead readers - Messing never made any predictions for Russia, and certainly not for every year!

The mysteries of the human psyche and the human brain are the most unexplored area of ​​science. Today, only one thing is clear: the laws of the material world do not apply in the realm of the world of thought and the world of human desires. They are invariant and absolutely individual. There are no, and there never will be, two people who think alike, no matter how anyone tries to convince us of this. In this sense, every person is an endless unknown Universe.

It is in the process of human thinking that the two worlds of the real, material world and the world of spirits or the other world come into contact. Today there is also a scientific term for that world - the information Universe. Surely no one here knows anything. Everything is in the realm of hypotheses, conjectures and assumptions.

Therefore, GREAT psychics or predictors are of greatest interest and completely unappreciated by science. There have been very few of them in the history of mankind; you can literally list them on the fingers of one hand. Our country was lucky - we had such a person, and quite recently he was among us.

There are many legends about the main soothsayer of the Soviet Union, Wolf Messing: that he predicted the fall of the Third Reich, predicted our victory over the Nazis by the beginning of May 1945, that he personally told Stalin the date of his death... One of the most famous soothsayers of the 20th century, Wolf Messing , whom even Stalin himself is said to have feared, could not prevent his own death, although he knew the date of his death...


A heavy gift


“Joseph Stalin was very interested in Wolf Messing,” says historian Roy Medvedev. - And he often invited him to his place for conversations. Stalin himself had absolutely obvious hypnotic abilities. Many confirmed: when he spoke in his quiet voice, it seemed to paralyze the will of the listener. Stalin once invited Messing for a conversation and at the end of it he said: “Wolf Grigorievich, what do you say if I keep your pass, and you leave the Kremlin without it?” Messing replied: “No problem.”

And so Stalin sits in his office and waits for someone to call him and inform him that Messing was detained without a pass. But time passes, and no one calls. Stalin could not stand it and dialed the number of the final security point himself and asked the duty officer: “Has Messing passed?” They tell him: “Yes, I passed.” Stalin was indignant: “How did you let him out?” The duty officer replied: “So he gave us his pass with your signature.” Stalin ordered this piece of paper to be brought to him. The security guard found Messing’s “pass”, looked and was confused - it was an ordinary piece of newspaper.”


Money for brain


Not only Stalin was afraid of Wolf Messing. Hitler offered a reward of 200 thousand Reichsmarks for the seer's head after Messing publicly stated that if Germany started a war in the East against the USSR, Hitler would die. As a result, Messing was nevertheless captured in Warsaw. But he hypnotized the Gestapo and escaped from custody.

My father-in-law was the great intelligence officer Mikhail Maklyarsky, whom the Germans called the brain of Soviet intelligence,” says Louise Khmelnitskaya. - So when I asked him: “How do you feel about Messing? Did he do something for our intelligence?” - He smiled and said: “I did, and a lot.” After all, he predicted not only the death of Hitler, but also the almost exact date of Victory - May 8! This is not a trick! He even predicted the date of his death. When Wolf Grigorievich was leaving for the hospital for an operation, he said goodbye to everyone, and then stopped in front of the entrance to his house and said: “I won’t come back here again.” Messing was a wealthy man. And he really wanted to leave money to scientists so that they could study his brain after death. As a result, the money was left, but no one studied the brain. He was simply examined and reported that no deviations from generally accepted standards were found.

Expert opinions


“Wolf Messing’s brain is kept in our Moscow Brain Institute,” said Sergei Illarioshkin, head of the brain research department at the Center for Neurology of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. - He was examined, and his sections were left at the institute exclusively as exhibits. Subsequently, no further studies of Messing’s brain were carried out.”

“It is quite possible to suggest to several people under hypnosis that a piece of paper is a pass,” says Alexander Blinkov, director of the Institute of Clinical Hypnosis of the Russian Psychotherapeutic Association. - Any person can master such hypnosis with sufficiently good concentration development.

A fairly large number of people whose sensory sensitivity is well developed can also read minds and guess the intended word. Such people were studied in Soviet times because there were opportunities and means for this. Both closed and open laboratories worked with them. But, naturally, all this was classified as “secret”. Nowadays, even in closed structures there are no such laboratories anymore.”


Neck sensor


Now they are trying to somehow belittle Wolf Messing, says Louise Khmelnitskaya, the sister of actor Boris Khmelnitsky, who personally knew the famous hypnotist. - They say that he was an illiterate charlatan. Yes, Messing spoke Russian with a strong accent, he may not have graduated from high school, but he was a genius.

Mom and dad met Wolf Grigorievich at one of the concerts and invited him to visit us. Mom already realized at the first meeting that Messing really liked her. During our many years of communication, it turned out that Wolf Grigorievich was really in love with her. He always kept within the bounds of decency, did not show his feelings, but sometimes he looked at his mother in such a way that it became clear how he really felt about her... And then one day my brother and I stood on the balcony and saw: Messing walking to the side our home. I run into the room and shout: “Mom, I think Wolf Grigorievich is coming!” Mom punishes me: “Tell me that I’m not at home.” And Wolf Grigorievich had never seen Borey and me before that day. And so he approaches the house, raises his head, sees us on the balcony and says: “Luzochka, Borya, good afternoon!” I immediately inform him: “Wolf Grigorievich, mom is not at home!” And he says, smiling: “Luzochka, you’re probably mistaken. After all, mom is lying in the back room on the sofa, on a cross-stitched pillow.” I was confused.

Since then, Wolf Grigorievich came to us quite often for lunch. He really loved the borscht that my mother cooked. While Messing was eating, Borya and I looked at him. Wolf Grigorievich had a wen the size of half an apple behind his ear on the right side of his neck. Borya and I were absolutely sure that it was a sensor. One day we decided to examine Messing. They suggested: “Wolf Grigorievich, can we think of something and you can guess?” He replied: “Of course!” Messing stayed in the kitchen, and Borya and I went into the room. They took the first volume of Dahl’s dictionary, found the page where the word “borscht” was printed, and put the book back on the shelf. They called: “Wolf Grigorievich, we are ready!” He came in, we stood by the window, he didn’t touch us, he just repeated: “Think!” And we, without looking at the book, thought: “To the right, to the left, to the closet, second shelf from the bottom, third book.” Mentally, standing at the window, they gave him commands. When he approached the closet, I thought: “Dal, volume one.” He takes the first volume of the dictionary. I continue: “Page one hundred and eighteen.” He opened. I think: “Line fifteen from the top.” And then he laughed: “Ah! Borsch! Let's go to the kitchen! We were amazed. Then Wolf Grigorievich told me: “Write any word on paper and hide the piece of paper.” I wrote my dad’s name: “Lesha.” She clutched the note in her fist. He came up and touched my hand. And he says: “Lesha.”

In the early 1960s, Borya, to the amazement of his parents, decided to enroll in a theater institute: he always stuttered very much and even at school he never answered orally, he only wrote. But we still decided to go together to Moscow to the Shchukin School. In parting, my mother advised: “Go see Wolf Grigorievich.” We arrived in Moscow. Messing had no idea that we were in the city. But when we went up to his floor and rang the doorbell, we suddenly heard: “Luzochka, Borya, I’ll open it now.” We came in, sat down, didn’t have time to say anything yet, and Messing himself asked: “Have you decided to go to the theater?” When we were leaving, he said to Bora: “Find out the names of the members of the selection committee, call me and call them.” Wolf Grigorievich took Borin’s hand, put it on his wen and said: “Never be afraid of anything, Wolf Grigorievich is always with you.” And during the exams, in some extraordinary way, it turned out that when Borya entered the classroom, he stopped stuttering.


"I'm scared!"


Wolf Grigorievich loved Borey and me very much, apparently because he did not have children of his own,” continues Luiza Khmelnitskaya. - He was afraid that his children would be born with some kind of anomaly. When he talked to his parents about this, he always said: “I’m scared!”

In general, Messing was very lonely. One day he came to us and said: “It’s so good that you exist! I don’t communicate with anyone.” I was surprised: “Why?” He replied, “Because I know what other people think.” After the concerts, I tried not to talk to anyone and immediately went to the hotel. I think he suffered from his gift. He wanted to be a normal person. But...

It so happened that he even predicted the date of his death. When Wolf Grigorievich was leaving for the hospital for an operation, he said goodbye to everyone, and then stopped in front of the entrance to his house and said: “I won’t come back here again.”

Messing was a wealthy man; during the Great Patriotic War he allocated a huge amount for the construction of two aircraft for our army. And he really wanted to leave money to scientists so that when he died they would study his brain. The money was left, but no one studied his brain. They simply examined him and reported that no abnormalities were found...

Although there is unconfirmed information that research into Messing’s abilities was carried out for a number of years in a special closed research institute of the USSR Ministry of Defense. These works were strictly classified and still represent a military secret. It is only known that the coding technologies that began to be used in the late eighties in the USSR using the Dovzhenko method (and are still used today) were developed precisely at this research institute and are only a small part of this knowledge.

Recently, one can increasingly hear about the approaching end of the world, the beginning of World War 3, or the worsening situation of the environment. Every day we hear from televisions and radios about poor welfare, problems, politics, wars, etc. All this does not console us in any way and people can only believe in some supernatural powers and words. One of the most famous and honest predictors was Wolf Messing, a man who proved to everyone that the otherworldly exists.

Wolf Messing is considered one of the most powerful clairvoyants not only in our country, but also abroad. Some take him for a professional, a true magician and healer, others for a charlatan and a liar. But it is a fact that the mentalist is an extraordinary person.

Who is Wolf Messing

Wolf Messing revealed his predictive talent from early childhood. As they say, the Man suffered from sleepwalking, but he was quickly cured of this illness. They also say that in his dreams he saw prophecies about the future, but he could not remember everything.

The Prophet was considered not only a good predictor and mentalist, but also a hypnotist. So, in his youth, riding on a trolleybus without a ticket, the young man had to convince the conductor that he already had a purchased ticket, while handing the inspector an ordinary blank piece of paper. Another interesting story is his fainting, which he fell into while hungry. After the mentalist was taken to the hospital, doctors said that the boy died. But, a few days later, the predictor woke up, which shocked many doctors. It turns out that it was a lethargic dream, from which quite a few people return alive.

The most amazing predictions of Wolf Messing

  • Perhaps the most surprising prediction of the predictor was the beginning and end of World War II. The predictor did not specify when the war would begin, but he knew for sure that it would happen in his lifetime.
    Also, the mentalist predicted the end of World War II, saying that: “ Worldwide bloodshed will end on May 8, this will be a great victory for us and our allies!" Rumor has it that after the end of the war, Stalin personally called the predictor and thanked him, noting that he was right;
  • The second most important prediction was the prophecy about the death of Joseph Stalin. He died in 1953 in the midst of a Jewish holiday. He said: “The death of Joseph Stalin is not far off. He will die on the great Jewish holiday.”;
  • He predicted Hitler’s failure, saying at one of the numerous conferences in Warsaw: “Germany will fall if it turns to the East.” After which Adolf Hitler placed a huge bounty on his head, but no one caught the mentalist;
  • Also, he predicted the collapse of the empire of the Soviet Union;
  • The prophet predicted the date of death for himself and his wife Aida. The fortuneteller died of kidney failure, although before that he had successfully undergone surgery and the doctors unanimously insisted that he would live. And Aida’s wife died in 1960, while the doctors declared, as in the case of her husband, that she should live and would soon recover. The healer did not agree with this, saying that she would soon die. And so it soon happened.

Wolf Messing's literal predictions for 2019

After his death, many researchers began to study the words he left for people, perceiving them as some kind of prophecies and signals for action. To this day, the name of the predictor has not been forgotten and his works are appreciated and studied every day.

About war, politics and the world in general

In general, the predictor stated that the 21st century will be very controversial, serious and conflict-prone. There will be many armed confrontations, but there should be no World War 3. If it happens, then almost all living things will be wiped off the face of the Earth, but some small group of the population will still remain. They will have their own, new leader who will lead them to victory and ascension.

He said that by 2019 a Revolution was coming, which would fundamentally change the world. “ Because of a small piece of land, a large country will begin to have huge problems. Perhaps this will lead to an armed conflict.“Russia will definitely have problems with America and China. And if the United States of America plays openly, then China will hide behind friendship, which will lead to even more troubles than expected. But Russia will be able to withstand this onslaught and will again return to its previous leading position in the world. People will begin to live with dignity and will not need anything. This will be so long-awaited that a huge number of migrants from all over the world will begin to flock to Russia.

Wolf Messing said that by 2019 Russia will have a secret weapon, which will not be used in practice, but this is what will contribute to the resolution of all important conflicts in the world. The world war will be delayed for more than 100 years.

Speaking literally, Wolf Messing stated: closer to 2019, a Revolution will have to occur, which will end with the victory of goodness and ordinary people. It will change most people and there will be no war for many years. But. However, the world will not last that long, since some deceitful, negative rulers will still begin to exterminate the people again, which will entail massive conflicts and wars. The mentalist said: “ Humanity must survive two dawns and two falls" Only after this do people finally realize that doing good is much better than killing and robbing, and everyone will live according to their conscience. The world will stop touching nature and will begin to treat it more carefully. People will find new, honest leaders who will mark the beginning of a moral revival. People will live in peace for more than a thousand years.

Illusionist, psychiatrist and hypnotist Wolf Messing is a man of mystery. Was Hitler really hunting for his head, and Stalin asking for his advice? Much of Messing’s life is a hoax, and Wolf himself was often the author of the myths.

Prediction of the death of the Fuhrer

Predict the death of Hitler, and even in the capital's Polish theater, in the presence of thousands of people! The next morning, all the newspapers were full of news: if Hitler turns to the East, he will certainly die, so says the great psychic. Of course, this sensation had consequences: “The fascist Fuhrer was sensitive to this kind of predictions and, in general, to mysticism of all kinds,” it is written in Messing’s “autobiography.” “My head was valued at 200,000 marks. I knew: I should stay in the German-occupied territory.” territory is not allowed." So, according to the official, or rather the author’s, version, Messing ended up in the USSR.
“I recognized a poster posted by the Nazis around the city, which announced a reward for my discovery.
- Who are you? - the officer asked and pulled my long, shoulder-length hair painfully.
- I am an artist...
- You're lying! You are Wolf Messing! It was you who predicted the death of the Fuhrer...
He took a step back, still holding my hair with his left hand. Then he swung his right hand sharply and dealt me ​​a terrible blow to the jaw. It was a blow from a great master of shoulder crafts. I spat out six teeth along with blood..."
A spectacular, vivid story - even modern PR specialists do not dare to make such inventions. Neither Russian, nor German, nor Polish archives (including the funds of the Third Reich, state military archives) have found a word about Messing. Hitler did not know his name, like the entire Polish people.

Escape from the punishment cell

Of course, the next episode in the life of an honest fortuneteller was supposed to be a police station. This is what happened, and Messing, according to him, would have died there if he had not escaped using his abilities. This is how he describes it: “I strained all my strength and forced those policemen who were in the station premises at that time to gather in my cell. Everyone, including the chief and ending with the one who was supposed to stand guard at the exit. When they everyone, obeying my will, gathered in the cell, I, lying completely motionless, as if dead, quickly stood up and went out into the corridor. Instantly, before they came to their senses, I pushed the bolt of the iron-bound door. The cage was reliable, the birds could not fly out of it without outside help. help. But she could have arrived in time..."
This story is also a legend: Messing was not in prison for a prediction that he did not make, in front of people who had never seen him, about a leader who was unknown to him.

One hundred thousand rubles for Stalin

This trick is repeated by many telepaths, and there are many attempts to repeat it. The trick is to hypnotize the bank employee, who will give you a tidy sum in response to the blank sheet of paper you hand him. Messing's memoirs describe how he did this with the State Bank at the request of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin. And, of course, he achieved his goal: he was given one hundred thousand rubles per page torn from a school notebook. “Next to me were two witnesses from the authorities, who signed the act of the experiment. As we agreed, after 15 minutes we went to the cashier and returned the money. The cashier was called an ambulance.” The same handwriting - first person, huge money, supernatural abilities...
Neither in the Central Archives of the FSB of Russia, nor in the archives of the CPSU Central Committee, where every meeting of the leader with a visitor is recorded, is Messing’s name. And the very description of the procedure for receiving money in a Soviet bank raises doubts: the accountant, auditor, cashier, moving along the corridors and filling out questionnaires, which were reality, do not appear in the story at all.

Three hairs from Einstein's beard

This legend is about sixteen-year-old Messing, who was invited by Einstein and Freud. Add great names to an ordinary story - and you get a great story... Einstein probably attended one of my performances and became interested in it, because one fine day he invited me to his place,” begins Messing’s story. The illusionist boldly describes the apartment Einstein (who, of course, has books everywhere), as well as the costume and appearance of both scientists. It took place in Vienna. Messing allegedly performed two tasks conceived by Freud about Einstein: first, with tweezers, he apologized, plucking three hairs from Einstein’s luxurious beard, and then he handed him a violin and asked him to play it. But one of Einstein’s biographers established that he never had an apartment in Vienna and did not come to this city at all from 1913 to 1925. In addition, he never kept books at home, but had only a few reference books.

Telepathy

What Messing did is often called telepathy. He supposedly knew how to read thoughts and suggest them. However, scientists agree, and the “telepath” himself admits that there are no superpowers here, but only “supertraining”. Both before and after Messing, similar experiments were successfully carried out in different countries. Messing himself said: “...This is not reading thoughts, but, so to speak, “reading muscles”... When a person thinks intensely about something, brain cells transmit impulses to all the muscles of the body. Their movements, invisible to the naked eye, are easy for me are perceived. I often perform mental tasks without direct contact with the inductor. Here, the inductor's breathing rate, the beat of his pulse, the timbre of his voice, the nature of his gait, etc. can serve as an indicator for me." Such experiments fail when the “telepath” is asked to blindfold not himself, but the inductor - because then he cannot send impulses to the “psychic” about whether he guesses something planned correctly or incorrectly (for example, a row and a place in the auditorium).

NKVD

It is known that in the 1940s Messing was imprisoned by the NKVD, and we know much information about him thanks to the memoirs of his cellmate, also a Polish Jew, Ignatius Shenfeld. It was an internal prison of the NKVD of Uzbekistan. In connection with this time in the life of the "magician" two questions arise. First - why didn’t he escape from there, using his superpowers, as in the legend about the Warsaw punishment cell? And secondly, why was he released (through an ordinary door, by the way) so soon: just a few months later? So painlessly and easily they leave the walls of the NKVD if they agree to cooperate with the authorities. In addition, it is known that Messing often visited the Moscow apartment of military diplomat Alexander Ignatiev - a meeting place for secret agents of the NKVD. Whether the “telepath” was an NKVD agent or not is not yet known for certain, and this is another legend about the hoaxer Messing - though no longer valiant and sad.

Book of memoirs

The entertaining autobiography book “About Myself” is also a legend, a fiction: it is not about myself, because it is not even an autobiography. The name of its real author is quite “telling” - Khvastunov. This man is a Komsomolskaya Pravda journalist who decided to mystify Messing and created a new life for him. The book “About Myself” was published before the death of the “muscle reader,” but he never refuted (nor, indeed, confirmed) the facts stated in it.
Those who knew Messing say that he was not a decisive person, but rather even fearful. And I would not dare to commit such a large-scale hoax. And about his performances they said: “Messing always - and until the very last days - put everything into his performances and simply exhausted his soul. From terrible tension, he sweated incredibly on stage: streams flowed straight through him.”
Messing's riddle is only half solved, and debunked myths give rise to new ones.

Wolf Messing's predictions are the most interesting side of his life for us, but Messing did not immediately realize that he could predict the future. And Messing wasn’t particularly keen on predictions. Therefore, Messing’s predictions were not published anywhere, and therefore such a list of Wolf Messing’s predictions simply does not exist.
Nowadays, Wolf Messing is not often remembered. The current generation is not at all familiar with this name. But just fifty years ago Wolf Messing was known throughout Europe. In the former USSR he was considered a talented hypnotist and predictor. In Europe they spoke of him as the most outstanding psychic, predictor, clairvoyant and seer of the 20th century. He was admired by such famous figures as Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. Adolf Hitler hated him.
His abilities were appreciated by Joseph Stalin himself. The leader of the world proletariat chose not to get involved with Messing, allowed him to tour the country and even allocated a good apartment in Moscow. Soviet science did not recognize telepathy and everything connected with it, and therefore did not believe in Messing’s predictions. Apparently, this is why the Wolf Messing phenomenon has never been fully studied. He took his secrets to his grave. This happened on November 8, 1974. Messing even accurately predicted the date of his death, but he could not do anything about it, and he did not want to change anything.
Adolf Hitler put 210 thousand German marks on Messing's head. Wolf Messing came to the Soviet Union already being famous. A Polish Jew with amazing abilities angered Adolf Hitler. A few months before the German invasion of Poland, Messing, at one of his public speeches in front of a large crowd of people, had the imprudence to say: “If Hitler turns to the East, he will die!” The Fuhrer was immediately informed about the prediction of Messing, a famous medium whose advice was listened to by Einstein, Freud, and Pilsudski. Superstitious Hitler summoned his astrologer Eric Hanussen, who told the Fuhrer about his meeting with Messing and that the Jew was not a charlatan. Eric and Wolf ran into each other once on tour. The two psychics tried to probe each other's thoughts and separated. But Ganussen felt that he had lost this duel.

Hitler was furious. He declared Wolf Messing his personal enemy and placed a reward of 210 thousand German marks on his head. At that time it was a fortune. When German troops entered Warsaw, posters with Messing's portrait appeared on all walls and fences. Wolf had to hide - he was arrested right on the street. A German officer recognized Messing from the poster. The conversation was short - a crushing blow to the jaw knocked out six of Wolf's teeth and knocked him unconscious. He didn't have time to use his abilities. Wolf Messing woke up already in the punishment cell of the police station. He understood that death awaited him. And I decided to do something I had never tried before. It was common for Messing to subjugate several people to his will at the same time, but he had to see them. Sitting in the cell, Wolf, according to his recollections, gathered all his strength and began to mentally give orders to the police who were in another room. He forced them all to go into his punishment cell, and he himself went out and locked his guards. However, at this moment his strength was already running out. Messing couldn’t even go down the stairs to the first floor, so he jumped out of the second floor window. He landed unsuccessfully, injured his legs, but still escaped.
He was taken out of Warsaw on a cart loaded with hay. Then they were transported by boat across the Western Bug to Soviet territory. It was incredibly difficult for him. He did not know Russian and did not understand the new Soviet order. But he read minds! And they were clear to him because they were formed in his mind not in the form of words, but in the form of images. After some time, he managed to get permission to speak in front of the public. He called them modestly - “Psychological experiments.”
Everyone saw Beria as Wolf walked through the Kremlin Palace. In the spring of 1941, Wolf Messing toured Gomel. Two men in uniform caps suddenly appeared on stage, gloomily apologized to the audience and led the artist away. Wolf didn't understand what was happening. Car, train, car again... He found himself in a room with wooden panels. A man with a mustache in a French jacket was sitting at the table. Messing recognized Stalin and told him with a smile: “And I carried you in my arms!” Seeing the surprise on the face of the owner of the office, Wolf explained that he was carrying his portrait during the May Day demonstration. Stalin liked the joke. He said: “Oh, you are a cunning one, Messing!” Wolf replied: “No. You really are a cunning one." The details of their first conversation are unknown. Messing did not like to remember them. He only said that Stalin was interested in the situation in Poland, the people whom the psychic knew, especially Pilsudski.

Stalin nevertheless decided to test Messing’s abilities, his ability to predict and read people’s thoughts. Wolf always talked about this with pleasure and in great detail. He was ordered to go to the State Bank and receive a large sum of cash there without any documents. Messing was accompanied by two NKVD officers. Wolf tore out a blank piece of paper from an ordinary notebook, showed it to his companions and walked up to the cash register. He handed the slip to the cashier. He carefully examined the piece of paper, confidently placed it on the nail with the capitalized checks and carefully counted out 100 thousand rubles to Wolf! Messing returned to the officers and showed them the money. They checked everything and then took the packs back. The cashier looked at them in surprise, then looked at the “receipt” and fell out of his chair. The poor guy had a heart attack.
Stalin was not satisfied with the result. He invited Messing to go to his Kremlin office without a pass. Moreover, the security was warned. The psychic coped with the new task easily. He not only entered, but also left the office, and even waved to Stalin, standing under the windows near the tree. When the leader asked how he managed this, Messing said that he convinced the guards that they saw Beria in front of them.
The psychic visited the Kremlin more than once afterwards. But he preferred not to talk about his meetings with Joseph Stalin. This gave rise to many rumors. They said that Messing saved the life of Vasily Stalin. He was going to fly to Sverdlovsk with the Air Force hockey team. Wolf told Joseph Stalin something, and he forbade his son to fly. Vasily went by train. And the plane with the team crashed, and all the hockey players died.
In the late 40s, Messing met Nikita Khrushchev. Wolf Grigorievich then performed with “Psychological Experiments” in Kyiv. Unexpectedly, the Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers, Bulganin, arrived from Moscow. Wolf Messing was summoned to Khrushchev. Bulganin said that a high-ranking official disappeared without a trace in Moscow, and with him a briefcase with secret documents. Stalin gave three days to search for documents. Messing later recalled: “I began to walk around the office of the missing official. He looked closely at all the objects. Gradually, a picture began to appear in my mind: the countryside, a steep river bank, a church in the distance, a rickety bridge across the river. There is a black object under one of the bridge supports. Briefcase? This is true!" Local historian consultants were called. Based on Messing's detailed story and prediction, they recognized the place. The briefcase with documents was indeed lying under the bridge. The official's body was found a little further away. Stalin was pleased with this prediction of Wolf Messing.
After the death of the leader, the attitude towards Messing changed. He did not get along with Khrushchev, who wanted Wolf Grigorievich to make a statement at the XXII Party Congress that Lenin appeared to him in visions and asked to remove Stalin’s body from the Mausoleum. Messing refused: “Forgive me, but I don’t communicate with the world of the dead. And I don’t believe in spiritualism!” After this, the hypnotist began to have problems with concerts, but he no longer paid attention to this. For some time, Messing lost interest in life. His wife died, whose death Messing predicted to the day.
Aida Mikhailovna was his wife and assistant for many years. They met in 1944 in Novosibirsk. Then doctors discovered cancer in Aida. Messing's wife was getting worse. Neither chemotherapy nor radiation helped. The best specialists looked at it. She refused to go to the hospital. She continued to travel with Wolf around the country. After another tour, Messing brought her to Moscow in critical condition. He carried her out of the train car in his arms. Director of the Institute of Oncology Nikolai Blokhin and hematologist Joseph Kassirsky arrived at the apartment on Novoipeschanaya. Blokhin began to calm Messing down. He began to remember patients who were in much worse condition, but then they improved and lived for many more years. Wolf interrupted the oncologist in excitement: “Don’t talk nonsense! I'm not a child, I'm Wolf Messing! Aida will not recover... She will die on August 2, 1960 at seven o’clock in the evening.” To his grief, the psychic was right again.
After the death of his wife, he was overcome by depression, and Wolf Messing had great difficulty in bringing himself to predict anything. Before this, Messing considered his abilities a gift. Now they seemed like a curse to him. For nine months he did not leave the apartment, did not receive anyone, did not want to talk to friends. His loneliness was brightened up by two small dogs Mashenka and Pushinka. Aida's sister took care of Wolf. He returned to normal life gradually. Started performing again. Communication with ordinary people brought him satisfaction. Work and travel helped distract me. In the mid-60s, he was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR, which he was very happy about. For some reason, Messing decided that now his abilities would be studied, but he was mistaken; this is one of the few predictions of Messing that did not come true.
After communicating with Einstein and Freud, the psychic realized that he could predict the future. Messing himself did not consider himself a miracle. He was sure that all people are capable of telepathy to one degree or another. It can develop in extreme conditions. Messing said that it is akin to intuition or a sense of self-preservation. In some people it is developed by 15 percent, in others by 100 percent. He estimated his abilities at 1000 percent. He could only guess how it all started for him. In early childhood, Wolf suffered from sleepwalking. The father decided to cure him and placed a trough or basin with cold water by the boy’s bed. The child got up in his sleep, fell into the water and woke up. The method turned out to be effective. But the boy’s subconscious tried to use the slightest rustles and sounds to protect his body from unexpected obstacles.
Wolf's parents sent him to a religious school and wanted him to become a rabbi, but the boy ran away from there. He jumped into the first car he came across at the station. It turned out that the train was going to Berlin. The frightened Messing hid under the seat. He had neither a ticket nor money. Wolf prayed to God that the conductor would not notice him. But the conductor noticed. The boy, with a trembling hand, handed him a piece of newspaper and, by an effort of will, tried to make this man believe that he was seeing a ticket in front of him. The conductor turned the piece of paper and asked sternly: “Why are you driving with a ticket under a bench? Sit down. In two hours we will be in Berlin...” This is how Messing first learned about his capabilities.
The famous Berlin psychiatrist Abel helped Wolf develop his abilities. The boy came to him... from the pathologist's table. A hungry child passed out on the street. He was picked up and taken to the hospital. The doctor on duty heard neither a pulse nor a heartbeat. He decided that the child had died and sent the body to the morgue. Messing lay there for almost three days! His body was transferred to the anatomical theater for medical students to study. One of them caught the heartbeat of the “corpse” that he was asked to open. The case interested Abel. Wolf woke up in his clinic. The psychiatrist was amazed. He explained to Messing that his body, while maintaining strength and life, fell into catalepsy. And Wolf can do this quite meaningfully. This is how Messing’s artistic career began. He worked as a "corpse" in a circus. He portrayed his own death in public, and then his resurrection. Gradually the numbers began to become more complicated. Wolf realized that he was hearing other people's thoughts. He toured Europe and South America with his performances. He was 25 years old when Einstein wanted to meet him. The great scientist invited his friend Freud, and they tested Messing's abilities. Communication with these thinkers opened up new abilities for Wolf. He began to have insights. Wolf Messing soon realized that in some cases he could predict the future. However, after the story with Hitler, he did this extremely rarely.
Messing was seriously ill in the last years of his life. My legs, injured during the escape from Warsaw, gave out. An operation was needed. Vladimir Ivanovich Burakovsky, a famous doctor, undertook to do it. Leaving for his clinic, Messing, in the presence of witnesses, looked intently at his portrait hanging on the wall and said: “That’s it, Wolf. You won’t come back here again.” The operation was performed, but the patient’s kidneys and heart suddenly failed. On October 8, 1974, he died. When Burakovsky was told about the words uttered by his patient in front of his own portrait, Vladimir Ivanovich cursed: “Why didn’t I know about this before?! I would wait to have the operation. If Messing himself thought so, then it was recklessness to operate!”
