Russians are increasingly turning to fortune-tellers, seeking answers about the date of Putin's death. The number of queries about clairvoyants' verdicts on the war's end has increased in internet searches.
According to the Ukrainian service Kanal24, the demand for fortune-telling services is growing in Russia. Russian opposition journalists point to a rising interest in esotericism, particularly one aspect of this belief in the possibilities.
When will the war end? Russians want to know
This concerns knowledge about the future course of the war. Russians want to know the date when the military actions will end. They also ask fortune-tellers about Vladimir Putin's fate and even openly ask about the date of the dictator's death.
Kanal24 reports that not only the fortune-tellers themselves speak of increased demand for answers to such questions. According to Yandex statistics, in 2024, the number of requests for war-related prophecies and magic peaked.
Russians seek experts in tarot reading to learn about the fate of their loved ones on the front line. The increased demand is evident in the number of advertisements appearing in public spaces.
Advertisements for fortune-tellers can be found in Russian markets and online. Sisters, girlfriends, and wives of military personnel eagerly use magical services. Most of them seek "protection" for their loved ones.
Kanal24 notes that many Russians believe that Putin will only end the war when he reaches Kyiv. Others, however, have a different vision. They believe that since the war is in Putin's political interest, he will fight until the end of his life, hence the questions to fortune-tellers about his death.
