Probably, there are few people who do not know who Messing Wolf Grigoryevich is. This man lived an amazing life, predicted and even changed the fate of people. He was known and feared, believed and not trusted. Stalin himself favored the clairvoyant, allowing concerts to be held throughout the Soviet Union.
Childhood
In 1899, on September 10, in a place near Warsaw, at that time owned by the Russian Empire, Gure-Kalvaria, Wolf Grigoryevich Messing was born - a man who became famous for his outstanding superpowers. His parents were very religious and wanted their boy to become a rabbi. However, Volka (that was the name of Wolf Grigorievich) resisted such a fate in every possible way. Then they went to the trick and bribed a colorful tramp to play the messenger of God in front of the boy. Volka believed the vision and went to study. However, two years later, having met that very tramp, he recognized in him an angel who appeared with a sign and realized that his parents had simply deceived him. Then the boy, disappointed in everything, lefthome by stealing money from yeshiva donations.
He got on the train to Berlin, but, since there was not enough money for a ticket, he hid under a bench. When the controller came up and asked for a ticket, he was very frightened, but picked up some paper from the floor and, dreaming with all his being that it would turn into a ticket, handed it over. In response, the ticket clerk calmly took the paper, stamped it and wondered why the boy was riding under the bench if he had a ticket and there were plenty of empty seats in the car.
So young Messing learned about his ability to inspire people with an illusory reality.
Youth
The opened ability did not help at first in life. The boy worked as a messenger in a guest house and did everything he was told. It made almost no money. And once he even fainted from hunger right on the street. He was taken to the hospital, and not finding a pulsation, they sent him to the morgue. But some trainee still felt the beating of the heart. Abel, a very famous neuropathologist and psychiatrist, was present. The professor became interested in the boy and began to teach how to control his body, and then introduced him to the man who became his first impresario, Tselmester.
So young Messing started his career. He lay down in a crystal coffin and immersed himself in a state similar to death, receiving a lot of money for this. Over time, he learned to read other people's thoughts and turn off the pain, turning into a real artist.
The future psychic Wolf Grigoryevich Messing became more and more famous. In 1915 on hiseven Sigmund Freud and Albert Einstein attended the speech, but unfortunately they did not leave any notes about this fact.
In 1937, in Warsaw, in his speech, he predicted the death of the Fuhrer if he moves troops to the east. For this, the artist and his family were arrested, but thanks to his superpowers, he managed to escape. He crossed the Western Bug River and ended up on the territory of the Soviet Union, where Wolf Grigorievich Messing began his new life.
Mature years
The psychic almost did not know the Russian language, and for the rest of his life, having lived in the country of the Soviets, he did not really learn it. Here he was hardly known, but having become a member of the concert team in the Brest region, Messing Wolf Grigoryevich nevertheless became an artist. His biography, apparently, became known at the very top of power. And once, right at a concert in Gomel, two NKVD workers came on stage and, asking for forgiveness from the public, took the artist to Stalin, whom he later met more than once.
After this meeting, Messing gets a new start in life, he begins to pay fabulous fees.
When the war began, Volf Grigoryevich (of his own free will or under pressure from the NKVD) donated his money for two planes. It is known that at this time he was even arrested and interrogated. It was during a tour in Tashkent.
Messing continued his trips with performances. By personal order of Stalin, he was given a one-room apartment in Moscow on Novopeschanaya Street, where he lived the happy years of his life withhis wife Aida Mikhailovna since 1954.
Old age
The rest of his life Wolf Grigorievich Messing lived alone in another, more spacious apartment on Herzen Street, already without his beloved wife. He was surrounded by two dogs (Mashenka and Pushinka), as well as his wife's sister.
He knew about the date of his death, and the closer it became, the more phobias appeared in the old man. However, Messing said that he was not afraid of death, he was simply infinitely sad that this very special experience of living life on Earth would never happen again.
One day, when he was taken to the hospital, leaving the house, he looked back and said that he would never come back here. The operation was performed by a first-class surgeon, and it was a success. But after complications began, the kidneys failed. Legendary telepath Messing Wolf has died.
The years of his life: 1899-1974.
Tours
During his life, an outstanding person, artist and psychic managed to travel around different countries. He performed and traveled a lot, of course, in the Soviet Union.
Despite the materialism that prevailed in the country, Messing managed to lift the veil of the unknown and show by his own example the existence of a different, non-material world.
Very often in his speeches, he read people's thoughts and carried them out. For example, it was typical to guess what was in the hands of a certain person or written words on paper, which was sealed in an envelope.
All of these numbers seemed fantastic to the audience. Although skeptics, of course, came up with a rational explanation for him, speaking of his excellent command of elementary idiomotor skills.
Private life
In Novosibirsk, Wolf Grigorievich Messing met and fell in love with a woman, Aida Mikhailovna Rappoport, who became a reliable friend, assistant at performances and wife.
They lived side by side happy years, but in 1960 Aida Mikhailovna died suddenly of cancer. And Messing knew about her impending departure. He was left alone and did not give any concerts for six months, experiencing the loss very hard.
But as time went on, he began to gradually recover and even sometimes perform. Volf Grigoryevich was surrounded by close people, but life began to weigh him down and the talent bestowed on him turned into a punishment.
Close ones
Messing was afraid to have children, so he didn't have his own. But among the environment there were close people to whom he treated with paternal care.
One of them was Tatyana Lungina, who met him for the first time in June 1941, when she was only 18. Later, the latter used her notes about meetings with Messing to write his autobiography "About myself".
Many people described wonderful stories that they became participants in, and where the main character was psychic Messing Wolf.
Interesting facts from life
Vadim Chernov told about an incident at the dacha when everyone went to the forest for mushrooms. Messing did not like this occupation, but together with everyone he also went into the forest. Everyone scattered in search of mushrooms. Through someAt that time, Vadim went out into the clearing, where he saw Messing sitting on a log, surrounded by local children. The guys squealed with delight and asked Volf Grigorievich about the non-existent little animals they saw and played with. When Vadim approached and Messing noticed him, their eyes met and the clairvoyant said that this was the beast for him. The young man suddenly saw a bear, but was not at all frightened, and numerous squirrels, bunnies and hedgehogs appeared around the children. Most of all, however, he remembered the basket filled to the brim with excellent mushrooms (although he knew for sure that it was empty before meeting their eyes).
Another case was described by Tatyana Lungina. It was a session at the Central House of Writers, when Wolf Grigoryevich Messing agreed to demonstrate a cataleptic state. By that time he was no longer young, so in case he could not get out of it on his own, Dr. Pakhomova assisted him. Forty minutes after Messing tuned in, she stated that the pulsation had ceased to be observed. The audience placed two chairs on the stage, on the backs of which they laid a lifeless body (heels and back of the head). It was like wood. The heaviest man sat on Messing's stomach. And even after that, the body did not bend one iota. The psychiatrist pierced the neck muscles through and through. There was no blood, no other reaction of the body. Then Messing was asked a question, to which he did not answer, but when they put a pen in his hand and substituted an album, he raised his hand like a robot and wrote the answer on it.
With the help of medical manipulations, he was brought out of this state, butIt was not easy for the 64-year-old medium. And a few days later, he continued to remain unsociable and taciturn.
Gift or Punishment
In old age, the gift began to weigh heavily on Messing. He was tired of other people's thoughts, which were mostly far from the most pleasant. If in his youth everything was given much easier, then in old age he treated his gift as a punishment. After all, he knew everything in the smallest details about his future, and all the miracles that he demonstrated to the public had long become his daily routine.
He knew that many people envied the gift, thinking that if they could do that, they would move mountains. However, Wolf Grigorievich argued that there can be no advantages in life from talent, and therefore there is no need to envy. If a person is decent and does not intend to commit any illegal actions, no gift will give him superiority.
Wolf G. Messing, whose photo is shown below, in the last years of his life turned into a gloomy pessimist.
Messing and the greats of this world
The telepath was interested in the highest ranks and those in power. Hitler, Stalin, Khrushchev - they all knew Messing, and for some of them he even made predictions.
He did not see Hitler, but foresaw his death, for which he almost paid with his life.
Stalin wanted to personally check the gift of Messing. To this end, he first suggested that he receive one hundred thousand rubles from Sberbank, presenting an emptypiece of paper. When he succeeded, the poor cashier who gave out the money got a heart attack. Fortunately, he was rescued. In addition, Messing himself went through all the patrols to Stalin without hindrance, and also left him, waving his hand to the leader from the street. When asked how this was possible, Wolf Grigoryevich said that he simply inspired everyone he met that he was Beria.
However, the psychic did not always observe political caution, and at a time when almost everyone in the country was confident in the friendship of Nazi Germany and the country of the Soviets, Messing Wolf Grigorievich predicted a completely different development of events. Because of this, his biography almost broke off again. He said in his speech, answering a question from the audience, that he saw Soviet tanks on the streets of Berlin. Despite the fact that his concerts were canceled for a while, he was not arrested. Later, when the war began, the artist continued his activities.
Predictions
Besides the fact that Wolf Grigorievich predicted the death of Hitler, predicted the war, he also named the date of victory (May 8) at one of his speeches. True, the year was not named. But in the first days of the war, he was summoned by Stalin to the Politburo, where he predicted victory for the Soviet troops and named the year and month.
Stalin tracked the predictions made by psychic Messing Wolf. His biography is overgrown with all sorts of legends, sometimes difficult to distinguish from those that actually happened. But on the day when the act of surrender of Germany was signed, Stalin sent a telegram to Messing, where he noted the accuracy of the predicted date. And thishard fact.
They also say that the leader of the peoples asked the telepath about his date of death. But the latter, foreseeing an uncomfortable question, said that he would not answer, but at the same time promised to never tell anyone about it.
It is known that the psychic secretly kept a green notebook in which he wrote down predictions concerning both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, about events in the USSR, the USA and Israel. However, she disappeared without a trace after Messing's death.
The life of this mysterious man ended on October 8, 1974. The place where Wolf Grigorievich Messing is buried is the Vostryakovskoye cemetery.
