not actually come true. For example, she predicted that in the final of the World Cup 1994 "two teams that start with the letter 'B'" would compete, but in the finals of all countries whose names start with the letter "B", only Brazil remained, while Bulgaria lost in the semifinals to Italy and remained fourth. Vanga allegedly predicted that the Third World War would begin in November 2010 and end in October 2014. According to the testimony of Vanga's close friends, she never predicted the outbreak of the Third World War and the subsequent end of the world. Unfulfilled predictions from Vanga (from the book by L. Orlova Vanga. A Look at Russia): 2010: The World War will begin in November 2010 and end in October 2014. It will start as usual, then nuclear weapons will be used first, and then chemical weapons. 2011: As a result of the radioactive fallout, neither animals nor vegetation will remain in the Northern Hemisphere. Then Muslims will start a chemical war against the surviving Europeans. 2014: Most people will suffer from ulcers, skin cancer, and other skin diseases as a consequence of chemical warfare. 2016: Europe will be almost deserted. Anatoly Stroyev, who was in 1985–1989 his own correspondent for Komsomolskaya Pravda in Bulgaria, believes that in the USSR "journalists invented sensations [about Vanga] for the sake of circulation." He spoke about several cases when Vanga was grossly mistaken. The first was his arrival with a journalist who was heading to Vanga for help, and she said that she would never marry and would not have children, although after returning to Moscow, she married and gave birth to a daughter within a year. In the second case, in the late 1980s, several children disappeared in Volgograd at once, and two correspondents from a popular magazine went to Vanga, who allegedly told them that the children were alive and would soon be found, but they were never found. The third case was history in 1991, when during the war of independence in Croatia, Soviet journalists Viktor Nogin and Gennady Kurinnoy disappeared, and Vanga said they were both alive, although it was later revealed that they were shot on charges of espionage for Croatia. Stroyev also refutes the well-known myth about the "alarm clock for Gagarin", which the clairvoyant's niece Krasimira Stoyanov cites in her book The Truth About Vanga, when the actor Vyacheslav Tikhonov
