Velimir Khlebnikov not only predicted the events of 1917, he left us many messages about the future in verse.

Velimir Khlebnikov is one of the most prominent and famous soothsayers who have ever lived on our planet. Having lived only 37 years, he left behind a huge legacy that was explored not only by Russian but also by Western experts. The fate of the futurologist was unusual, and his prophecies are still relevant. Today we're going to talk about both.

Velimir Khlebnikov was born avant-garde in a family of people with a very rich pedigree. Her parents were aristocrats, albeit poor. The father was engaged in ornithology and botany, and the mother’s family stretched from the Zaporozhye Cossacks themselves. It was the mother who inspired her children to read a lot of literature, study history, and draw.



Velimir was a very advanced child. Before the age of 5, the boy learned to read Russian and French. Unfortunately, the Velimir family had to change places of residence quite often because of his father’s work. After graduating from the gymnasium, Khlebnikov entered the Kazan University for the mathematics department. By the way, it was mathematics that became the basis of the predictions of the futurologist.



Klebnikov was not only interested in mathematics. He was also passionate about natural science, philosophy, chemistry and physics. The teachers adored the talented student. They prophesied to him Great Future in Biology. By the way, Velimir partially met their expectations: in one of the expeditions he found a new species of cuckoos. However, all other discoveries concerned the literary sphere.



Velimir was very difficult given the historical events of those times. He lived in a time of great change that he felt acutely. He conveyed his feelings through poems. The first came out in 1908. It was this that determined the reader’s perception of the great poet. Khlebnikov was considered the main theorist of futurism.



Velimir was an excellent linguist. He invented a lot of new things in this area. For example, together with Alexey Kruchenykh he Invented a special language - zaum. While watching the war, he studied all the literature on past wars. Velimir found it hard to watch people take each other's lives.



What Velimir Khlebnikov predicted
  1. Using unique mathematical formulas, Klebnikov calculated that There will be a revolution in 1917. It will change the course of history for the world.
  2. The First World War The mathematician predicted it, too. He did this in 1908. By the way, Velimir was summoned, but he quickly discarded, citing his complete unsuitability for this case.
  3. The Prophet predicted not only key historical events, but also scientific discoveries. For example, he said that everything in the universe pulsates and interacts with each other. This is the knowledge that was put into "string theory".




The mathematician also predicted the Internet. destruction of the twin towers Even the date of his own death. All this he calculated with the help of clever formulas. Of course, the decoding of the results relied on a huge knowledge base, which was stored in Khlebnikov’s head.

The wisdom and advice of the editorial board The future depends only on us. Fatalism, fortunately, will never be the tool of true optimists and people who believe in themselves. Maybe it's just optimism that keeps us all afloat right now. Unfortunately, mental waves sometimes sink us to the bottom. The main thing is to remember that all bad things will end sooner or later.
