Komsomolskaya Pravda Publishes 'Interview' with the Spirit of Vladimir Zhirinovsky

One of Russia's most widely circulated tabloids, Komsomolskaya Pravda, which is referred to as a 'favorite' publication by dictator Vladimir Putin, has published an unusual 'interview' with the spirit of politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky. This intriguing interview was conducted with the help of psychics Anna Pechueva and Anna Ilyina, as reported by Russian media.

In an unprecedented move, Komsomolskaya Pravda has taken a bold step into the realm of the supernatural by publishing an interview purportedly conducted with the spirit of the late Vladimir Zhirinovsky. The article, which has sparked significant interest and controversy, was produced following a séance led by psychics Anna Pechueva and Anna Ilyina. During this session, the journalists reportedly burned a 100-ruble banknote, after which the spirit of Zhirinovsky allegedly made contact, assuring them that 'everything will be fine' at Komsomolskaya Pravda.

The publication, marked as 'Exclusive,' details Zhirinovsky's predictions regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine. According to the spirit, the conflict is expected to come to a swift conclusion this autumn, with negotiations taking place. However, Zhirinovsky warned that hostilities would continue until at least 2027, suggesting that 'cleansings' would occur during this time. The spirit expressed regret over his absence, stating that he 'also wanted to participate' in resolving the situation.

In a rather ominous prediction, the spirit claimed that initially there were three individuals named 'Vova,' but ultimately only one would remain — the dictator. He further asserted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would supposedly die, and that Ukraine would be 'divided like a pie.' These assertions have ignited fervent discussions among the newspaper's readership.

Moreover, the medium provided insights into the future of the United States and former President Donald Trump. The spirit warned of a potential fragmentation of the U.S. into independent states and predicted an assassination attempt on Trump. 'We hope the American president reads Komsomolskaya Pravda and stays cautious,' the journalists commented, highlighting the bizarre nature of the claims.

Additionally, the spirit of Zhirinovsky advised Russians to plant potatoes and forecasted an unstable economic situation in the country, indicating that citizens should prepare for challenging times ahead.

When asked about the war in the Middle East, the newspaper reported that the spirit warned the situation could escalate to the use of nuclear weapons, with Israel potentially being 'erased from the face of the Earth.' He also suggested that many refugees from the Middle East would flee to Russia, further underscoring the alarming state of affairs in the region.

Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a controversial figure in Russian politics, was known for his provocative statements and died on April 6, 2022, leaving behind a complex legacy. The Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), which he led, continues to utilize his image in its public relations campaigns. Numerous archival videos of Zhirinovsky are circulating on social media, particularly within pro-government accounts, often labeled as prophetic.

Interestingly, Komsomolskaya Pravda, the favored newspaper of the Kremlin's dictator, is engaging in activities that Putin himself has labeled as nonsense. In December, Putin referred to 'occult services' as 'delirium' and called for a crackdown on their proliferation in Russia, equating them with satanism, which is recognized as an extremist movement in the country.

'Satanism, occult services, and all sorts of sorcerers — it's all delirium, simply misleading people. They corner them into a dark space, both literally and figuratively,' the president stated during a live Q&A session, emphasizing the paradoxical nature of the situation.
