"The world will be on fire": Zhirinovsky's nightmarish prophecy for 2026 – Global chaos to grip the planet

Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who passed away four years ago, left behind not only a political legacy but also numerous prophecies, earning him the nickname "Vovanga." Many of these predictions have already been verified with unsettling accuracy—from the start of the war in Ukraine to the conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran. However, the most explosive statements of the politician, who would have turned 80 on April 25, concern the year 2026.

The end of the war and the new map of Ukraine

Zhirinovsky's primary prediction for 2026 concerned Ukraine. The founder of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia predicted that the special military operation would end that year with a Russian victory and would constitute a pivotal event in global politics. At the same time, as stated by his assistant and friend Vasily Vlasov to aif.ru, the politician examined two possible scenarios:

1. The first is that Ukraine joins NATO. In this case, according to Zhirinovsky, Russia would fully absorb the country, with a small western portion going to Poland.

2. However, he considered the second option more realistic: an armed conflict would occur, and then, beyond Crimea, Russia would incorporate the regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, as well as Novorossiya. Ukraine would lose its own weapons and would not join the North Atlantic Alliance. Zhirinovsky metaphorically divided the "pie" of Ukraine, giving two-thirds to Russia and leaving one-third under the name Galicia. It is worth noting that the politician had accurately predicted the start date of the special operation in Ukraine during a State Duma session in December 2021. He was off by only two days—the operation began on February 24, 2022!

Collapse of NATO and a new America

According to Zhirinovsky, NATO will collapse in 2026. The politician predicted that the alliance would not withstand internal contradictions and would radically revise its role. "NATO will collapse in 2026. Russia's relations with Europe will deteriorate," he predicted. In place of the alliance, according to him, a new union of countries could emerge, including Russia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Regarding the United States, he predicted that America would withdraw its bases from Europe and focus on its own continent, uniting Canada and Mexico into a single state! According to his scenario, a new currency and a new security system could appear in North America.

The Moscow-Washington axis: An unexpected prediction

A video recently appeared online with yet another unusual prediction by Zhirinovsky. It was published as part of the "Unpublished Predictions of Zhirinovsky" event. In footage filmed during a trip to Baghdad in 2002, Zhirinovsky discusses the future of relations between Russia and the United States. In his prediction, he stated that Moscow and Washington could create an "axis," where the presidents of the two countries follow policies that serve the real interests of their states, without considering the international community. "Europe is old; it can't do anything anymore. The last powerful country of the West is America. Therefore, a union between America and Russia in some secret alliance could become a reality in the coming years," the politician says in the video.

"The world will be on fire"

Zhirinovsky believed that the spring of 2026 would be a period of global changes. His core position was that "the world will be on fire," leading to an overhaul of the world order. He predicted that conflicts would simultaneously affect multiple regions: Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, and the post-Soviet space. The previous system of international relations, in his view, will cease to exist.

Future plan: Predictions through 2050

Zhirinovsky did not just make isolated predictions—he drafted a detailed plan for achieving Russian power, year by year. According to these notes:

1. 2026 - The active phase of the military operation in Ukraine ends with a strategic victory for Russia.

2. 2030 - Russia rids itself of "traitors" and foreign influence, gaining full sovereignty, and its military becomes the strongest in the world.

3. 2040 - Russia becomes a "superpower and mighty empire."

4. 2050 - The global redistribution is completed; Moscow is among the five great capitals alongside Washington, Beijing, Delhi, and Brussels.

World War III

Zhirinovsky also predicted a Third World War, which, in his opinion, will begin in 2027. However, he emphasized that it would not be nuclear. "It will not be a global nuclear war, but a local one, with the most powerful weapons, which could be considered even more powerful than nuclear ones. They will be super-weapons," he predicted.

Prophet or analyst?

His accurate forecasts earned him the nickname "Vovanga" online. Many attribute almost mystical abilities to him. However, those who knew him well insist that there were no supernatural powers. According to Vladimir Putin, Zhirinovsky was not a prophet but a capable analyst who could compare events and make accurate predictions based on historical experience. Four years after his death, interest in his statements continues to grow, with his videos and phrases circulating widely on the internet.
