The blind Bulgarian mystic and healer known for predicting the Chernobyl disaster has some horrifying predictions for the coming year – however, one of these may be the end of Vladimir Putin’s rule
Once again, Baba Vanga has thrown a veil of ill-fate over 2026. The famous “seer” has seen shifting geopolitical powers, climate crisis and the rise of AI frustrate peace in the year to come.
Also referred to as the “Nostradamus of the Balkans”, has cemented respect for her powers by “predicting” events such as the death of Princess Diana. While her claims for 2026 remain unverified – many are quaking at the year she says we have ahead of us, as per WION.

Aliens arrive on Earth
Baba Vanga thinks that the first contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence will take place in November 2026. She thinks a big spacecraft will enter Earth’s atmosphere. She also seemed to think we may be contacted by an unknown civilization here on Earth.

Natural Disaster
The seer who supposedly forecast the 2022 UK floods also sees natural disasters in the pipeline for 2026. Although it is unknown where these tornados, tsunamis or earthquakes will take place. She also sees a devastating combination of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions with severe weather impacts for eight percent of the entire of Earth.
Global Conflicts
The woman who predicted 9/11 sees chaos ahead in 2026. One of her most concerning is her prediction of World War Three. Reports claim that Baba Vanga predicted a large-scale war beginning in 2026 involving major world powers.

This conflict will spread across continents and trigger a period of political instability and heightened global tensions. There are reports Baba Vanga said China will takeover Taiwan and a direct confrontation between Russia and the US. This may be linked to another prediction of a third global financial crash, or at least a major economic downturn in 2026. This could mean market crashes, high inflation or a collapse in currency.

It is thought the seer predicted the 9/11 attacks
Artificial Intelligence
According to some readings of Baba Vanga’s predictions she saw that AI would start to change humanity in 2026. She thinks that next year is the year AI will change industry, and everyday life for ever. This has led some to ask questions about how we can retain independence from a so-called thinking machine as AI dominates all areas of our lives.
Putin’s demise
Baba Vanga also predicted the emergence of a new Russian leader in 2026. This leads to questions regarding what would be made of Ukraine if Vladimir Putin’s dictatorship failed. The powerful Russian figure, who will change global politics, is frequently referred to as a “master” or world leader. He will rise to dominance in 2026.
