Wolf Messing is the greatest mystery of the twentieth century, the great telepath, hypnotist and folk artist. This is an iconic figure who was ahead of her time and surpassed politicians in many ways. It still excites the imagination of ordinary people and makes crowds of tourists visit the Vostryakovskoye cemetery in Moscow every year.
Messing was born in September 1899 in Poland. From his youthful years, Wolf Grigorievich participated in the numbers together with the illusionists. Later he mastered pop telepathy (the ability to read thoughts through the hand).
Messing's faithful companion and assistant was Aida Mikhailovna Messing-Rapoport, who was with her husband until her death.
No reliable evidence of Messing's genius has been found, his adventures are considered nothing more than a talented hoax.
Miracle or talented bluff
Einstein and Freud admired the name of Messing, Stalin reckoned with his opinion, and, they say, Hitler was afraid of him, who wanted to get the head of this man, since Wolf Messing inadvertently predicted his fate in the event of a war between Germany and the USSR.
Stalin more than once invited Messing to himself in order to personally verify his abilities. One day, the leader ordered Messing to come to the Kremlin for a reception, while forbidding any of the guards and his immediate entourage to let the Pole through. Nevertheless, with the help of his hypnotic abilities, Messing easily came to Stalin, which greatly surprised the leader, moreover, he also left the walls of the Kremlin, passing by the guards raised on alarm.
Road to death
Messing lived for over 75 years. Attempts were made on him more than once, since some politicians, both Soviet and foreign, were sincerely afraid of the Soviet predictor.
During the Second World War, Wolf Grigorievich injured both legs. Messingu underwent a series of operations on the hips, after which there was an operation on the iliac arteries, which, according to medical records, was successful and ended with the patient's recovery. Nevertheless, despite successful operations, Wolf Grigorievich Messing died on November 8, 1974 as a result of pulmonary edema and complete renal failure. It is still unclear what caused the sharp deterioration in Wolf Grigorievich's health. Someone believes that they deliberately wanted to kill him, someone believes that everything is due to the rather large age of the telepath.
Messinga cemetery. During his lifetime, Messing repeatedly said that he certainly wants to rest next to his beloved wife Aida Mikhailovna Messing-Rapoport. On the grave of Messing on the 38th site, which united the spouses, there is a tall marble monument. On her grave - a bas-relief, on his - a portrait print. Nearby is a monument to Utesov's wife. It is on him that tourists are guided.
