Monk Abel's predictions about Russia - what has come true, what is to come? Predictions of the monk Abel for Russia Monk Abel the soothsayer Vasily Vasiliev predictions.

As you know, all the prophecies of Abel since the time of Catherine the Second, whom he at one time terribly offended by predicting her death, were kept very strictly in Russia, behind seven seals. The prophecies of this legendary personality remained secret even during the times of the Soviet Union; his predictions were painfully accurate, and no one wanted to disturb the people. But after the collapse of the USSR, at a time when everything was bought and sold, information leakage still occurred.

Predictions of Monk Abel about Russia and the near future

The prophecies said that Russia would be ruled by vile people (devils) for 70 years, who, after this time of vileness and desolation, would begin to leave Russia. But not all of them, some will stay and dress up in “sheep’s disguises,” although, in essence, in their souls they will remain “vile predators,” and they will continue to rule Russia in their new guise under different flags.

The seer also mentioned the Second Boris the Giant, who will stand at the head of Russia. During the time of Boris II, much will be said about the revival of Russia, and under this pretext they will rob Russia and take it piece by piece. And Russia will stand on the verge of its destruction and collapse, and under the guise of a revival of its former glory and greatness, the last things that have not yet been taken away will be stolen.

When the dog's children torment Russia, the Giant will give up power when no one expects this from him, and he will leave behind many unresolved problems and mysteries.

After him, a short man will come to power, his head will be half bald, and his body will be hairy, for some reason the monk Abel sees his face black. He will remain unknown for a long time, and then take on the role of a servant. He will come from a southern family and will change his appearance twice. Under him there will be a war in the Promethean Mountains (in the Caucasus), it will last 15 years. There will also be a third Tauride (Crimean) war, where the crescent moon will appear, and torn Taurida (Crimea) will be filled with blood.

And then they will put the stupid young man on the throne, but soon they will declare him an impostor and, together with his retinue, will expel him from Russia. The demons that are striving for power will be crushed by the bear’s mighty head and strong paws, in which the spirit of Russian ancestors will be embodied.

Prophecies for the future

Terrible times are coming in Rus', there will be ten kings, thirty tyrants for one hour. Next, monk Abel talks about a certain man with an iron helmet, who does not show his face, a faceless swordsman in chain mail, who will shed human blood.

There will also be a man from the swamp, whose eyes will be green, and he will come to power when his two A's come together. And he had a terrible and mortal wound, but he was healed. He fell, but managed to rise to a height that no one would have been able to achieve for him, and he will take revenge for his humiliation. And the Great Blood will flow through three, through seven and through the fall of this tyrant. And no one will be able to figure him out for a long time before he is thrown into the abyss.

Another one will be long-nosed, and everyone will hate him, but he will rally Great Power around himself. And the one who will sit on two thrones at the same time will seduce five similar to himself at once, but they will all shamefully fall on the fourth step of the ladder.

A person is half bald and half hairy, his skin will be unclean. And the Marked One will arrive to replace him, quickly flashing by like a meteor. Then the Lame-footed One will come and cling terribly tightly to power.

And after him the Great Lady will come, she will have golden hair, and she will lead three chariots. But in the south of the black Arab kingdom a strong leader will come, who will throw terrible lightning and many countries will turn to ashes. The war will be long, it will last 15 years, it will bring a lot of troubles, the war is between the cross and the crescent, the Moors will also fight in it. Carthage will be destroyed again, but then it will be resurrected, and the prince of the new Carthage will become the third pillar of the united armies of the crescent. The war will take place in three waves, moving back and forth.

When it would seem that death awaits everyone, the Great Horseman-Sovereign will come, he will not stay long on the throne, the Great Swift Sovereign, the Great Potter, pure in soul and thoughts. And he will bring down the sword of retribution on thieves and robbers, and not a single vile creature will escape retribution and vile shame.

Five boyars who were close to the tsar will be brought to justice. The first of them is a judge, the second will have time to flee abroad, but will still be caught. The third is the commander. Well, the fourth boyar will be red. The fifth will be found dead in his own bed.

And the Great Revival of Rus' will begin, there will be great joy - the crown will return and the whole big tree will be accepted under it, the three branches of which will merge together, after the demons have all run away, the tree will become one.

Many of the predictions of the monk Abel came true with amazing accuracy, let's hope that the revival of Russia will still come, and the thieves and robbers who are in power are tearing the country apart piece by piece will get what they deserve.

Prophecies for the head of state

The emperor himself paid a visit to the seer in the company of his favorite. Witnesses of the event claim that before the conversation with Abel, the emperor and his companion were cheerful, but afterward they came out scared and frowning, the girl was crying.

The night after his conversation with the seer, Pavel could not sleep for a long time. He wrote a message with the message “Reveal to the heir to the throne no earlier than on the hundredth day from the minute of my death.” From that moment on, some oddities began to be noticed in the emperor's behavior. He was either in a state of thoughtfulness, or moping, or afraid of something.

This was due to the fact that Abel predicted Paul’s premature tragic death, which later came true - the emperor was killed as a result of a conspiracy by his heir in 1801.

New prophecies of Abel

Here are the well-known prophecies of the seer that have come true and have not yet come true:

He predicted the execution of Nicholas in 1918 and the death of the Romanov dynasty
The prophecy about the reign of Boris Yeltsin, the resignation of the president and the rise to power of Vladimir Putin came true
Abel predicted that “a second, giant titan” would come to power. During the reign of this man, the country will be at a loss, and many troubles will befall Russia. But after that, a new “man of short” stature will ascend to the throne, who will ascend to the throne three times and set the state on the path of economic development
In the 21st century, Russia faces many difficulties - this is a period of enormous testing for the Russian people. A man will come to power who will hold on to his chair with all his might.
Abel believed that 2024 would be a special time for Russia. At this time, the “blessed king” will ascend to the throne, and from this moment the country will develop by leaps and bounds, and the lives of citizens will improve
But immediately after, the “Great Potter” will come to the top of power, who will deal with the country’s enemies and lead the state out of the crisis period, turning Russia into a great power

The prophecies about Gorbachev and Zyuganov came true. Of course, the prophet did not name names, but in his descriptions one can easily discern the image of these rulers. Most of Abel's predictions came true, which makes it possible to trust his opinion and listen to him.

Apocalypse predictions

The most recent prophecies of the famous seer date back to 2892. He argued that during this period the real end of the world would come. Researchers are inclined to believe that the predictions are about the reign of the Antichrist.

In the texts of the prophecies, Abel spoke of darkness into which the earth would plunge for a whole millennium. The monk argued that humanity would lose its mind and become an easily controlled herd.

After a millennium, the dead will rise, and the living will change radically. Believers will be given eternal life, while sinners will go to purgatory. Thus, everyone will receive according to their actions and merits.

It is noteworthy that some of the prophecies are kept by the country's security service, including the predictions of Abel.

Many of the monk’s prophecies have already come true, and the rest are quite similar to the truth. Therefore, there is every reason to believe in them.

Scientists and astrologers have been valued at all times. They were especially held in high esteem among kings and other nobles. During their reign, monarchs turned to these people for help in solving many state problems, listened to their horoscopes and sacredly believed every word.

It is worth noting that many astrologers, studying the movements of the planets, made quite plausible forecasts. Today, Abel remains the most famous and talented predictor in the entire history of the Russian Empire. Throughout his life he kept a book, which he called “The Terrible Book.” In this document you can find a lot of useful information, including prophecy of monk Abel about Russia for 2017.

Prophecies from the stars seem unrealistic, but Abel was able to read the movements of the planets so subtly and correctly interpret the information received that his words continue to come true to this day. Among the monk’s predictions that came true, one can highlight the war in 1917, the exact dates of the death of the Russian emperors, as well as the beginning of World War II.

There is an opinion that the famous predictions of St. Basil the Blessed, Vasily Nemchinov and Grigory Rasputin are based precisely on the texts of the monk Abel. What did the monk see in the future of Russia? Should we be wary of his words or is there no need to attach much importance to them?

True Prophet - Monk Abel

The life of the Russian predictor, who drew his visions from the movements of the planets, began in the Tula region in the small village of Akulovo. The boy was named Vasily, and until the age of 28 he led a completely ordinary life: he plowed in the fields, got married, and had children. But one moment, Vasily decides to radically change his life - he goes to the Valaam Monastery and takes monastic vows.

A year later, he retires to a remote island, where he becomes a hermit, isolating himself from the bustle of the world. After Abel settles on the island, the spirit of a soothsayer awakens in him, which does not fade away until his death.

The monk explains his visions with a voice speaking to him from heaven. This holy voice led him to a manuscript where all the secrets of our world were written down. Abel delved into reading and discovered a lot of new things about the fate of Russia. After gaining knowledge, the monk heard an order to tell the people about everything. He wandered for a long time and came to the walls of the Nikolo-Babaevsky Monastery, where he settled. Abel's first book was written in these parts.

It is noteworthy that the prophet saw the date of his death forty years before this sad event. His works were hidden from prying eyes for a long time, so as not to disturb the soul of the common man.

What happened to ancient manuscripts?

For a long time, the authorities hid the writings of the prophet Abel under seven locks. Only after the collapse of the Soviet Union did several books that were in government archives come to light. Unfortunately, the manuscripts did not survive to this day; from them, scientists were able to take only small sketches that were set out in historical ancient writings.

There are still rumors among many experts that most of the knowledge about the future of Russia is in the Lubyanka archives and is guarded with the utmost seriousness.

Abel's predictions for Russia

The clairvoyant confirmed his great gift during his lifetime, so there is no point in doubting his prophecies. It's already the 21st century, and his words continue to come true. The monk made many predictions for Russia.

In particular, he noted that a short man would lead the country three times. As you can see, this figure is very similar to the current Russian President Vladimir Putin. Abel called him the second Boris, only several times more powerful.

The monk rather vaguely outlined the future of the Russian Federation, but modern scientists were able to piece together an approximate picture of what awaits us in 2017 and after it:

power will go to 10 kings (most likely, the Russian Federation will collapse into several separate states);
an unknown warrior will appear on the political arena, who will start a battle and shed a lot of blood;
at the helm of government there will be another native of the swamp with the same green eyes;
society will hate a man with a long nose, but this will not stop him from gathering around himself a multimillion-dollar army of defenders;
The Golden-haired Lady will drive three chariots;
all those responsible for human suffering will be punished the moment power passes to the “Great Potter.”

The voiced ones look like the plot of some ancient Russian fairy tale. However, there is one main difference that distinguishes Abel’s words from a fairy tale story - sooner or later they come true.

Interpreters saw in the monk’s prophecies a turning point that would happen in 2017. Many associate it with the end of the crisis in Russia, as well as the cessation of hostilities in the Donbass.

The end of the world according to Abel

The visions of the clairvoyant Abel reached 2892. Then, according to the prophet, there will come, which will be marked by the appearance of the Antichrist. For many, many years, humanity will be plunged into total darkness, and a certain shepherd will rule the people.

Only after 1050 years have passed can people be renewed and the dead rise from their graves. And it is not clear who will be destined to live eternal life, and who will face decay and quick death.

The Spasko-Evfimievy Monastery of the city of Suzdal, by decree of Empress Catherine II, became a state prison in 1766. The so-called “mad sorcerers” were kept here. Punishments were carried out for criminal cases, for crimes of a religious nature and political crimes. The abbot of the monastery became the warden of this prisoner. The first prisoners were members of the clergy, among them was the monk Abel, whose name became known to most people only recently.

In 1757, in the Tula region in the village of Akulovo, a certain Vasily Vasiliev was born. He will become the prophet Abel in the future. This man did not stand out in anything special, but at the age of 28 he abandoned everything, including his family. Unexpectedly for everyone, Vasiliev took monastic vows in the Valaam Monastery in 1785, now his name is Adam.

A year later, the future predictor leaves the monastery and finds solitude, all on the same island, in the desert. Here the gift of foresight was revealed to him, and then he himself said that it is unclear how, but he ended up in heaven, where he read a couple of books. From then on, monk Abel began to communicate with a certain voice, this voice told him that he should not hide knowledge in himself. He must bring them to the mighty of this world, that is, to the sovereigns. After some time, Vasily Vasiliev created a book of prophecies, or rather, its first part.

Abel's predictions directly related to the reign of Catherine II, for this queen they turned out to be outrageous. The matter eventually reached the empress herself and the Synod. In Russia, the third decade of the reign of Catherine II was coming to an end, Abel's predictions about Russia They said that she would rule the country for 40 years. The throne, after the death of the empress, according to the prophecies of the monk, was to be given to Paul, whom Catherine II hated; with all her soul she wanted the crown for her beloved grandson Alexander, the empress was angry. Catherine II, for prophecies, Abel sentenced to death, later the death penalty was changed to life imprisonment in a fortress called Shlisselburg.

In 1796 Abel's predictions about Russia exactly what came true: Catherine II died after her forty years of reign, and Paul I received the crown. The new ruler had mystical moods, and when he learned about what they were Abel's predictions, Paul orders the prophet to be brought to him. Here a series of oddities begins: there are rumors that the tsar secretly had a conversation with Vasiliev, who told him some predictions regarding the fate of the Romanovs. Paul even writes down these prophecies. He places “Letters to a Descendant” in the archive, where there is a note: “Open in 100 years.” Another oddity: Vasily Vasiliev is no longer tormented by prisons, moreover, he is again allowed to become a monk, in the Alexander Nevsky Monastery, in 1796, he again takes monastic vows, this time Abel.

And again monk Abel, having lived for some time in the monastery, leaves its walls in order to begin traveling around Russia. The fortuneteller returned to Valaam, where he creates the second part of the book of prophecies, in which he describes the fate of Paul and his rapidly approaching death. Again predictions of monk Abel lead his life path to the secret chancellery and to the Shlisselburg fortress. Less than ten months had passed since Paul I was killed, Alexander I freed the prophet and exiled him to Solovki. It should be noted that the new ruler did not previously believe in mysticism. On Solovki monk Abel writes the third book of prophecies, it describes the reign of Alexander and the near future of Russia: the war with the French, the burning of Moscow. The king, angry at the end, creates a decree to imprison Abel in a prison-monastery.

After Abel's predictions about Russia began to come true: the war with Napoleon, the ruin of Moscow; Alexander I tries to let the monk go. Abel was given a passport, money and permission to move freely throughout the country and beyond. At that time, the predictor was 56 years old. Possessing a strong spirit and body, he embarks on a long journey, monk Abel visited many places in Russia, visited Constantinople and Jerusalem. Upon returning to his homeland, he found his monastery in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. The fame of the monk-prophet thundered everywhere, officials and their families constantly visited him with trivial requests, Abel did not welcome this and constantly retired. In the monastery, he created two books: “The Book of Genesis” and “The Life and Sufferings of the Monk Father Abel,” which touched upon questions of the creation of the world and the creation of man.

After writing books, fortune teller Abel leaves the Trinity-Sergius Lavra for new wanderings. Again the monk Abel predicts unpleasant events for Alexander I regarding his death and the rebellion of the nobles. The Emperor did not carry out reprisals against Vasiliev, but Alexander’s brother Nicholas I did not tolerate such freethinking. By his decree on August 27, 1826, Abel was imprisoned in the Suzdal Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery-Prison, where on November 29, 1831 the monk died from a long illness. He was 74 years old. Abel was buried behind the altar of the Church of St. Nicholas, and the Orthodox Church honors and remembers him, Memorial Day is November 29. Abel bequeathed the accumulated 5 thousand rubles and his meager property to the Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery.

Abel's predictions forgotten, just like him. Many years passed, and in 1901, the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II opened the “Letter to a Descendant,” which, at one time, was written by Paul I after communicating with Abel. The letter was opened exactly 100 years later. One can only guess about its contents; Nicholas II set it on fire immediately after reading it. Many are inclined to think that in that envelope there was a prediction of the fate of the last king, and perhaps Abel's predictions about Russia. They also say that people who were with Nicholas II at that moment saw how the emperor changed his face and said: “Now I know that I have nothing to fear until 1918.” As you know, Nicholas II and his family were shot exactly this year. Not a single book of Abel has survived to this day in its entirety; only small fragments and copies remain.

Some of Abel's predictions:

Catherine II (1762-1796) - Abel predicted that she would sit on the throne for four decades.
- Paul I (1796-1801) - Abel predicted that he would not rule for long, and his death would be terrible, that he would die at the hands of his servants, that he would be strangled in his own bedroom. The monk also predicted that the king’s killers would declare him insane and begin to insult his memory. It turns out that the Intercession Monastery to this day retains the secret of the 30s of the 20th century. There is hard work ahead in the archives, and now the questions are not getting smaller.
- Alexander I (1801-1825) - The fortuneteller predicted that under his rule Napoleon would burn Moscow, in response to which the Russian Tsar would take Paris. Also, Abel said that the royal share would become difficult for Alexander I, and he would replace it with fasting and prayers...
- Nicholas I (1825-1855) - the monk predicted that his reign would begin with a riot and a fight.
- Alexander II (1855-1881) - monk Abel dedicated such lines that he will be called the king, liberator of serfs. It was also predicted that this sovereign would defeat the Turks. And Abel also predicted that Alexander would be killed by rebels in broad daylight.
- Alexander III (1881-1894) - Abel wrote that this ruler would restore order in the country, but he would not sit on the throne for long.
- Nicholas II (1894-1917) - The monk predicted such a fate that he would have the mind of Jesus Christ, great patience and purity of soul, that he would replace the crown with a crown of thorns. Abel predicted a war, that people would fly in the sky, swim under water, and kill each other with sulfur. It also came true that Nicholas would die on the eve of victory, that a civil war would begin, that power would change and people would renounce their faith.

Predictions of Monk Abel

Prophet in his Fatherland

Abel (Vasily Vasiliev)
03/18/1757, village of Akulovo, Tula province - 11/29/1841, Spaso-Evfimievsky Monastery,
church prison, Suzdal
“His life passed in sorrows and hardships, persecutions and troubles, in fortresses and strong castles, in terrible judgments and in difficult trials...”
"The Life and Sufferings of Father and Monk Abel", published in 1875.

“These books of mine are amazing and wonderful, and those books of mine are worthy of wonder and horror.”
Abel to Paraskeva Potemkina

On the night of November 1, 1787 (“...in the year from Adam 7295”) Abel had one “wonderful and wondrous vision,” which lasted “no less than thirty hours.” The Lord told him about the secrets of the future, ordering him to convey these predictions to the people:“The Lord... speaks to him, telling him something secret and unknown, what will happen to him and what will happen to the whole world.” “And from that time Father Abel began to know everything and understand everything and prophesy.”
He left the hermitage and the monastery and went as a wanderer through the Orthodox land. This is how the prophetic monk Abel began the path of prophet and predictor.
“He walked around different monasteries and deserts for nine years,” until he stopped at the Nikolo-Babaevsky monastery of the Kostroma diocese. It was there, in a tiny monastery cell, that he wrote the first prophetic book, in which he predicted that the reigning Empress Catherine II would die in eight months. The newly minted fortuneteller showed this book to the abbot in February 1796. And he went with the book to Bishop Pavel of Kostroma and Galicia, since the abbot decided that he had a higher rank and a higher forehead, let him sort it out.
The bishop read and tapped his forehead with his staff. Of course, Abel, supplementing his opinion with an expressive phrase that has not reached us in the original, apparently no one dared to write down such a number of swear words. Bishop Pavel advised the seer to forget about what was written and return to the monastery - to atone for his sins, and before that point to the one who taught him such sacrilege. But “Abel told the bishop that he wrote his book himself, did not copy it, but composed it from a vision; for, being in Valaam, he came to the church for matins, just as the Apostle Paul was caught up into heaven and there he saw two books, and what he saw, he wrote the same...”
The bishop was warped by such sacrilege - wow, the blue-footed prophet, he was “caught up” into heaven, he compares himself with the prophet Paul! Not daring to simply destroy the book, which contained “various royal secrets,” the bishop shouted at Abel: “This book is written for the death penalty!” But this did not bring the stubborn man to his senses. The bishop sighed, spat, swore rashly, crossed himself, and remembered the decree of October 19, 1762, which for such writings provided for the removal of monks and imprisonment. But it immediately emerged in the bishop’s head that “the water is dark in the clouds,” who knows, this prophet. Suddenly he really knew something secret, yet he prophesied not to someone, but to the empress herself. The Bishop of Kostroma and Galicia did not like responsibility, so he threw the stubborn prophet from his hands into the hands of the governor.
The governor, having read the book, did not invite the author to dinner, but slapped him in the face and put him in prison, from where the poor fellow was taken to St. Petersburg under strict guard, so that along the way he would not confuse people with unreasonable speeches and delusional predictions. In St. Petersburg there were people who were sincerely interested in his predictions. They served in the Secret Expedition and carefully recorded everything the monk said in the interrogation reports. During interrogations by investigator Alexander Makarov, the simple-minded Abel did not retract a single word, claiming that he had been tormented by his conscience for nine years, since 1787, from the day of the vision. He wanted and was afraid “to tell Her Majesty about this voice.” And so, in the Babaevsky Monastery, he nevertheless wrote down his visions.
If it were not for the royal family, most likely the seer would have been ruined or rotted in remote monasteries. But since the prophecy concerned a royal person, the essence of the matter was reported to Count Samoilov, the prosecutor general. How important everything concerning the crowned heads was, follows from the fact that the count himself arrived on the Secret Expedition, talked for a long time with the seer, leaning towards the fact that he was a holy fool. He talked with Abel “in high tones,” hit him in the face, shouted at him: “How did you, evil head, dare to write such words against an earthly god?” Abel stood his ground and just mumbled, wiping his broken nose: “God taught me how to make secrets!”
After much doubt, they decided to report the fortune teller to the queen. Catherine II, having heard the date of her own death, felt ill, which, however, in this situation is not surprising. Who would feel good with such news?! At first, she wanted to execute the monk “for this daring and riotousness,” as provided for by law. But still she decided to show generosity and by decree of March 17, 1796, “Her Imperial Majesty... deigned to indicate that Vasily Vasilyev... to be imprisoned in the Shlisselburg fortress... And the above-mentioned papers written by him to be sealed with the seal of the Prosecutor General, kept in the Secret Expedition "
Abel spent ten months and ten days in the damp Shlisselburg casemates. In the casemate, he learned the news that shocked Russia, which he had known about for a long time: on November 6, 1796, at 9 o’clock in the morning, Empress Catherine II suddenly died. She died exactly the same day, according to the prediction of the prophetic monk.
Pavel Petrovich ascended the throne. As always, with a change of power, officials also changed. The Prosecutor General of the Senate also changed; this post was taken by Prince Kurakin. While sorting out especially sensitive papers, he came across a package sealed with the personal seal of Prosecutor General Count Samoilov. Having opened this package, Kurakin found in it predictions written in terrible handwriting, which made his hair stand on end. What struck him most of all was the fulfillment of the fateful prediction about the death of the empress. The cunning and experienced courtier Prince Kurakin knew well Paul I’s inclination towards mysticism, so he presented the “book” of the prophet who was sitting in the casemate to the emperor. Quite surprised by the fulfillment of the prediction, Pavel, quick to make decisions, gave the order, and on December 12, 1796, striking the imagination of the monarch, smelling of the mold of the Shlisselburg casemate, the predictor appeared before the royal eyes...
One of the first to meet Abel, who left a written testimony about this, was none other than A.P. Ermolov. Yes, yes, that same Ermolov, the future hero of Borodin and the formidable pacifier of the rebellious Caucasus. But that comes later. In the meantime, the disgraced future hero, who served three months in the Peter and Paul Fortress due to false libel, was exiled to Kostroma. There A.P. Ermolov met with the mysterious monk. This meeting, fortunately, was preserved not only in Ermolov’s memory, but was also captured by him on paper. “...A certain Abel lived in Kostroma, who was gifted with the ability to correctly predict the future. Once, at the table of the Kostroma governor Lumpa, Abel publicly predicted the day and night of the death of Empress Catherine II. And with such amazing accuracy, as it later turned out, that it was like a prophet’s prediction. Another time, Abel announced that he intended to talk with Pavel Petrovich, but was imprisoned in the fortress for this insolence. Returning to Kostroma, Abel predicted the day and hour of death of the new Emperor Paul I. Everything Abel predicted literally came true.”
As already mentioned, the heir to the throne, Paul I, was prone to mysticism and could not ignore the terrible prediction, which came true with terrifying accuracy. On December 12, Prince A.B. Kurakin announced to the commandant of the Shlisselburg fortress Kolyubyakin to send prisoner Vasiliev to St. Petersburg.
The audience was long, but it took place face to face, and therefore precise evidence of the content of the conversation has not been preserved. Many claim that it was then that Abel, with his characteristic directness, named the date of Paul’s own death and predicted the fate of the empire two hundred years in advance. It was then that the famous will of Paul I allegedly appeared.
Some articles dedicated to the seer cite his prediction to Paul I: “Your reign will be short. On Sophronius of Jerusalem (a saint, the day of remembrance coincides with the day of the death of the emperor) in your bedchamber you will be strangled by the villains whom you warm on your royal chest. It is said in the Gospel: “A man’s enemies are his own household.” The last phrase is a hint at the participation of Paul’s son, Alexander, the future emperor, in the conspiracy.
I think, based on further events, it is unlikely that Abel predicted Paul’s death, because the emperor showed sincere interest in him, treated him kindly, showed his affection, and even issued the highest rescript on December 14, 1796, ordering Abel to be defrocked at his request and tonsured a monk. Then, instead of the name Adam, he takes the name Abel. So this prediction is pure literature, not supported by any evidence from contemporaries. All other predictions of the prophetic monk are confirmed by interrogation reports and testimonies of contemporaries.
For some time, monk Abel lived in the Nevsky Lavra. The prophet is bored in the capital, he goes to Valaam. Then, unexpectedly, the eternal recluse appears in Moscow, where he preaches and prophesies for money to everyone. Then, just as unexpectedly, he leaves back for Valaam. Finding himself in a more familiar habitat, Abel immediately takes up his pen. He writes a new book in which he predicts... the date of death of the emperor who caressed him. Like the last time, he did not hide the prediction, introducing it to the monastery pastors, who, after reading it, were frightened and sent the book to Metropolitan Ambrose of St. Petersburg. The investigation carried out by the Metropolitan yields the conclusion that the book “was written secret and unknown, and nothing is clear to him.” Metropolitan Ambrose himself, who was unable to decipher the predictions of the prophetic monk, reported in a report to the Chief Prosecutor of the Holy Synod: “Monk Abel, according to the note he wrote in the monastery, revealed it to me. I am enclosing this discovery of his, written by himself, for your consideration. From the conversation I did not find anything worthy of attention, except for the insanity in the mind revealed in it, hypocrisy and stories about my secret visions, from which the hermits even come to fear. However, God knows." The Metropolitan forwards the terrible prediction to the secret chamber...
The book is placed on the table of Paul I. The book contains a prophecy about the imminent violent death of Pavel Petrovich, about which during a personal meeting the monk either wisely kept silent, or there was no revelation to him yet. Even the exact date of the emperor's death is indicated - supposedly his death will be a punishment for his unfulfilled promise to build a church and dedicate it to Archangel Michael, and the sovereign has only as long to live as the letters should be in the inscription above the gates of the Mikhailovsky Castle, which is being built instead of the promised church. The impressionable Pavel is furious and gives the order to put the soothsayer in a dungeon. On May 12, 1800, Abel was imprisoned in the Alekseevsky ravelin of the Peter and Paul Fortress. But he won’t sit there for long - the clouds around Paul’s crowned head are thickening. The holy fool Ksenia of Petersburg, who, like Abel, predicted the death of Catherine II, prophesies throughout the city the same thing as Abel - the life span allotted to Paul I is the number of years that coincides with the number of letters in the biblical inscription above the gate. People flocked to the castle to count the letters. There were forty-seven letters.
The vow broken by Paul I was again associated with mysticism and vision. Archangel Michael appeared to the guard in the old Summer Palace built by Elizabeth and ordered to build a new one on the site of the old palace, dedicated to him, the archangel. That's what the legends say. Abel, who foresaw all the secret phenomena, reproached Paul for the fact that the Archangel Michael ordered the construction of not a castle, but a temple. Thus, Paul, having built the Mikhailovsky Castle, erected a palace for himself instead of a temple. Although in the luxurious halls of the palace, biblical motifs seemed to come to life on tapestries embroidered with gold and silver. The magnificent Guarenghi parquet shone with its graceful lines. Silence and solemnity reigned around the palace. A soft, dim light was poured into the palace halls.
The appearance of his great-grandfather, Peter the Great, is also known to Paul, who twice repeated the now legendary phrase: “Poor, poor Pavel!” All the predictions came true on the night of March 11-12, 1801. “Poor, poor Pavel” died from an “apoplectic stroke” inflicted on the temple with a golden snuffbox. The “Russian Hamlet” reigned for four years, four months and four days, not even reaching the age of forty-seven years; he was born on September 20, 1754.
As they say, on the night of the murder, a huge flock of crows fell from the roof, resounding with terrifying cries around the castle. They say that this happens every year on the night of March 11-12.
The prophecy of the prophetic monk came true again(!) after ten months and ten days. After the death of Paul I, Abel was released, sent under strict supervision to the Solovetsky Monastery, forbidden to leave it.
But no one can prevent a prophetic monk from doing magic.

The life and deeds of Abel during the reigns of Alexander I and Nicholas I

In 1802, Abel secretly writes a new book in which he predicts absolutely incredible events, describing “how Moscow will be taken by the French and in what year.” At the same time, the year 1812 is indicated and the burning of Moscow is predicted.
The prediction becomes known to Emperor Alexander I. Worried not so much by the prediction itself, which seemed wild and absurd at the time, but by the fact that rumors about this prediction would spread and spread by word of mouth, the sovereign ordered the monk-foreteller to be imprisoned in the island prison of Solovki and “he should be there.” until his prophecies come true.”
The prophecies came true on September 14, 1812, ten years and ten months later (!). Napoleon entered the throne room abandoned by Kutuzov. Alexander I had an excellent memory and immediately, upon receiving news of a fire that had started in Moscow, he dictated to his assistant, Prince A.N. Golitsyn, a letter to Solovki: “Monk Abel should be excluded from the number of convicts and included among the monks with complete freedom. If he were alive and well, he would come to us in St. Petersburg, we want to see him and talk to him about something.”
The letter was received in Solovki on October 1 and caused a nervous tremor in the Solovetsky abbot Illarion. Apparently, he did not stand on ceremony with the prisoner, so the meeting between Abel and the emperor did not bode well for him personally. Surely the prisoner will complain, but the sovereign will not forgive for the insults. Hilarion writes that “now Father Abel is sick and cannot be with you, but perhaps next year in the spring.”
The Emperor guessed what kind of “illness” the prophetic monk had and through the Synod ordered: “Monk Abel must certainly be released from the Solovetsky Monastery and given him a passport to all Russian cities and monasteries. And so that he is happy with everything, the dress and the money.” Hilarion was separately instructed to “Give Father Abel money for the journey to St. Petersburg.”
After such a decree, Hilarion decided to starve the obstinate old man to death. The indignant Abel predicted imminent death for him and his assistants. The frightened Hilarion, who knew about Abel’s prophetic gift, let him go. But there is no escape from prophecy. That same winter, a strange pestilence occurred on Solovki, Hilarion himself died, and “God knows from what illness” his henchmen, who were doing evil to Abel, died.
The monk himself arrived in St. Petersburg in the summer of 1813. Emperor Alexander I was abroad at that time, and Abel was received by Prince Golitsyn, who “was very glad to see him and asked about the destinies of God.” The conversation was long, its contents were unknown to anyone, since the conversation took place face to face. According to the monk himself, he told the prince “everything from beginning to end.” Having heard in the “secret answers” the predictions of the prophetic monk, according to rumors, the fate of all sovereigns until the end of centuries, before the coming of the Antichrist, the prince was horrified, did not dare to introduce the soothsayer to the sovereign, providing him with funds and sending him on a pilgrimage to holy places. Countess P. A. Potemkina took care of his material well-being and became his patron and admirer.
Despite the hardships and hardships he endured, monk Abel was strong in body and powerful in spirit. He visited the Greek Athos, Constantinople-Constantinople, and Jerusalem. Having been in prison, he was wary of prophesying, and Prince Golitsyn probably also made him serious suggestions; at least he refrained from prophesying. After his wanderings, he settled in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra and lived without being denied anything.
By this time, the fame of his prophecies had spread throughout Russia. Those thirsty for prophecies began to come to his monastery, and persistent secular ladies especially annoyed him. But to all questions the monk stubbornly answered that he himself does not predict the future, he is only a conductor of the words of the Lord. He also refuses to respond to numerous requests to read out some of his prophecies.
To a similar request from Countess Potemkina, he answers his patroness with the same refusal, only explaining the reasons more directly: “I recently received two letters from you, and you write in them: to tell you prophecies this and that. Do you know what I will tell you: I am forbidden to prophesy by personal decree. So it is said: if the monk Abel begins to prophesy out loud to people or to whom to write on charters, then take those people into secret, and the monk Abel himself too, and keep them in prisons or jails under strong guards. You see, Praskovya Andreevna, what our prophecy or insight is. It is better to be in prisons or free, for the sake of reflection... I agreed now that it is better not to know anything and to be free, rather than to know and to be in prisons and under captivity. It is written: be wise like serpents and pure like doves; that is, be wise, but be silent more; There is also what is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and the understanding of the prudent, and the like; This is what we have come to with our wisdom and our reason. So, now I’ve decided it’s better not to know anything, even if I know and remain silent.”
In a word, to her disappointment, the countess did not acquire a home soothsayer. But since she patronized the fortuneteller, Abel agreed to give her advice on housekeeping and other matters instead of prophecies. The Countess happily agreed. If only she knew how the soothsayer’s advice would turn out for her!
What happened was the following: the countess’s son, Sergei, quarreled with his mother, not sharing the cloth factory with her. Being an efficient man, he decided to influence his obstinate mother through her home adviser. Young Potemkin began to court the monk in every possible way, inviting him to visit, drinking and feeding him. In the end, he offered Abel a bribe of two thousand rubles “for the pilgrimage.” The monk was prophetic, but he was not incorruptible. He succumbed to temptation and persuaded the countess to give up the plant to her son.
Potemkina, who was under the enormous influence of Abel, gave in to his requests and did as he advised. But Sergei was a cunning fellow, having received his, he showed Abel an indecent gesture instead of money. The offended monk began to turn the mother against her son, demanding two thousand rubles from her, apparently, the amount sunk into his soul. The Countess apparently figured it all out. She was very upset and died from grief. Abel was left without a patroness; he had to go on his travels without two thousand rubles.
Abel “knew and was silent” for a long time. On October 24, 1823, he entered the Serpukhov Vysotsky Monastery. For almost nine years his prophecies have not been heard. Probably at this time he wrote the book “The Life and Suffering of the Father and Monk Abel,” which tells about himself, his wanderings and predictions, and another one that has come down to us, “The Book of Genesis.” This book talks about the emergence of the earth, the creation of the world. Unfortunately, there are no prophecies in the text; the words are simple and understandable, which cannot be said about the drawings in the book made by the seer himself. According to some assumptions, they resemble horoscopes, but for the most part they are simply not understandable at all.
The monk's silence was broken soon after moving to the Vysotsky Monastery. Persistent rumors spread throughout Moscow about the imminent death of Alexander I, that Constantine would abdicate the throne, fearing the fate of Paul I. Even an uprising on December 25, 1825 was predicted. The source of these terrible predictions was, of course, the prophetic monk.
Oddly enough, this time it happened, no sanctions followed, prison and scrip escaped the desperate predictor. Perhaps this happened because shortly before this, Emperor Alexander I went to the Monk Seraphim of Sarov, and he predicted to him almost the same thing that the monk Abel prophesied.
The fortuneteller should have lived quietly and humbly, but he was ruined by an absurd oversight. In the spring of 1826, preparations were being made for the coronation of Nicholas I. Countess A.P. Kamenskaya asked Abel whether there would be a coronation. He, contrary to his previous rules, replied: “You won’t have to rejoice at the coronation.” A rumor immediately began to circulate in Moscow that Nicholas I would not be a sovereign, since everyone accepted and interpreted Abel’s words that way. The meaning of these words was different: the sovereign was angry with Countess Kamenskaya because peasants, tortured by oppression and extortion, rebelled on her estates, and she was forbidden to appear at court. Moreover, to attend the coronation. Taught by bitter everyday experience, Abel realized that he would not get away with such prophecies, and considered it best to sneak out of the capital. In June 1826, he left the monastery “to no one knows where and never appeared.”
But by order of Emperor Nicholas I, he was found in his native village near Tula, taken into custody and, by decree of the Synod of August 27 of the same year, sent to the prison department of the Suzdal Spaso-Evfimievsky Monastery, the main church prison.
While in the Vysotsky Monastery, he may have written another “very terrible” book and, as was his custom, sent it to the sovereign for review. This hypothesis was expressed more than a hundred years ago by an employee of the Rebus magazine, a certain Serbov, in a report on the monk Abel at the first All-Russian Congress of Spiritualists. What could Abel predict to Emperor Nicholas I? Probably the inglorious Crimean campaign and premature death. There is no doubt that the sovereign did not like the prediction, so much so that the predictor was no longer released.
The interrogation reports mention five notebooks, or books. Other sources speak of only three books written by Abel in his entire life. One way or another, alas, they all disappeared without a trace in the 19th century. These books were not books, in the understanding of the modern reader. These were sheets of paper sewn together. These books contained from 40 to 60 sheets.
On March 17, 1796, the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Empire opened a “Case about a peasant of the estate of L.A. Naryshkin named Vasily Vasiliev, who was in the Babayevsky Monastery under the name of Hieromonk Adam, and then called himself Abel, and about a book he composed, on 67 pages.”
As already mentioned, only two books of the soothsayer have survived: “The Book of Genesis” and “The Life and Sufferings of Father and Monk Abel.” There are no prophecies in either book. Only a description of predictions that have already come true. But Emperor Paul I got acquainted with the notebooks attached to the investigative file, moreover, he talked with the monk himself, according to numerous legends, after which the famous will of Paul I appeared, which was repeatedly mentioned by many memoirists. M. F. Goeringer, née Adelung, Chief Camerfrau of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, wrote in her diary: “In the Gatchina Palace... in the enfilade of halls there was one small hall, in the middle of which on a pedestal stood a rather large patterned casket with intricate decorations. The casket was locked with a key and sealed... It was known that this casket contained something that was deposited by the widow of Paul I, Empress Maria Feodorovna, and that she bequeathed to open the casket and take out what was stored in it only when she turned one hundred years old from the day of the death of Emperor Paul I, and, moreover, only to those who will occupy the Royal Throne in Russia that year. Pavel Petrovich died on the night of March 11-12, 1801.”
This casket contained a prediction written by Abel, at the request of Paul I. But Nicholas II was destined to learn the true secret of the casket in 1901. In the meantime...
The “life and suffering” of the monk Abel ended in the prison cell. This happened in January or February 1841 (according to another version - November 29, 1841). Encouraged by the holy sacraments, the “Russian Nostradamus” was buried behind the altar of the prisoner’s church of St. Nicholas.
But what about his prophecy, sealed for posterity by Paul I?
Let's return to the memoirs of Chief Kamerfrau M.F. Goeringer:
“On the morning of March 12, 1901, both the Sovereign and Empress were very lively and cheerful, getting ready to go from the Tsarskoye Selo Alexander Palace to Gatchina to reveal a centuries-old secret. They prepared for this trip as if it were an interesting festive outing that promised to provide them with extraordinary entertainment. They went away cheerfully, but returned thoughtful and sad, and did not tell anyone anything about what they found in this casket. After this trip, the Emperor began to remember 1918 as a fatal year both for him personally and for the Dynasty.”
According to numerous legends, the prophecy of the prophetic Abel predicted exactly everything that had already happened to the Russian sovereigns, and Nicholas II - his tragic fate and death in 1918.
It should be noted that the sovereign took the prediction of the long-dead monk very seriously. It wasn’t even that all his prophecies came true exactly (to be fair, we note that not all of them, for example, he predicted to Alexander I that he would die as a monk. However, there are numerous legends about the mysterious elder Fyodor Kuzmich, who was rumored to be the king Alexander I, who went into seclusion to atone for the sin of parricide), but that Nicholas II already knew other prophecies about his unfortunate fate.
While still an heir, in 1891, he traveled around the Far East. In Japan, he was introduced to the famous fortune teller, the hermit monk Terakuto. A diary entry of the prophecy that accompanied the sovereign translator Marquis Ito has been preserved: “... great sorrows and upheavals await you and your country... You will make a sacrifice for all your people, as a redeemer for their follies...”. The hermit allegedly warned that there would soon be a sign confirming his prophecy. A few days later, on April 29, in Nagasaki, the fanatic Tsuda Satso rushed at the heir to the Russian throne with a sword. Prince George, who was next to the heir, repelled the blow with a bamboo cane, the sword inflicting a glancing wound on the head. Later, by order of Alexander III, this cane was showered with diamonds. The joy of salvation was great, but still a vague uneasiness remained from the hermit monk’s prediction. And these predictions were probably remembered by Nicholas II when he read the terrible prophecies of the Russian soothsayer.
Nikolai fell into heavy thoughtfulness. And soon he finally believed in the inevitability of fate. On July 20, 1903, when the royal couple arrived in the city of Sarov for the celebrations, Elena Mikhailovna Motovilova, the widow of the servant of St. Seraphim of Sarov, a glorified and revered saint, handed over a sealed envelope to the sovereign. This was the saint's posthumous message to the Russian sovereign. The exact contents of the letter remained unknown, but judging by the fact that the sovereign was “contrite and even cried bitterly” upon reading, the letter contained prophecies concerning the fate of the state and Nicholas II personally. This is indirectly confirmed by the royal couple’s visit to the blessed Pasha of Sarov on the same days. According to eyewitnesses, she predicted the martyrdom and tragedy of the Russian state for Nicholas and Alexandra.
Perhaps this knowledge of fate explains much of the mysterious behavior of the last emperor of Russia in recent years, his indifference to his own fate, paralysis of will, and political apathy. He knew his fate and consciously walked towards it. And his fate, like all the kings who preceded him, was predicted by the monk Abel. The notebooks, or, as he himself calls them, “books” with the predictions of the monk Abel are now either destroyed or lost in the archives of monasteries or detective orders. Lost, just as the books of prophecies of John of Kronstadt and Seraphim of Sarov were lost.
When getting to know the personality of Father Abel, you pay attention to the following mystical circumstance: his predictions appear from oblivion always on time and always reach the addressee. Abel predicted the war of 1812 ten years before it began and the date of death of all Russian tsars and emperors. The surprisingly accurate prediction about the reign of Nicholas I remains inexplicable: “The serpent will live for thirty years” (Denis Davydov. Works, 1962, p. 482).
According to many scientists, unknown texts of prophecies (for example, it is known that Father Abel had a long correspondence with Countess Praskovya Potemkina. Books of secret knowledge were written for her, which “are kept in a secret place; some of my books are amazing and amazing, those of my books are worthy surprise and horror") of monk Abel were seized by the Secret Expedition and kept secret, apparently to this day kept in the archives of Lubyanka or in the hands of those in power. Thus, in the notes of monk Abel, known to modern researchers, there is practically no mention of the “godless Jewish yoke” predicted by Father Abel, which came after the abdication of Nicholas II, interrupted by Stalin and resumed after the collapse of the USSR.
Compiling a complete list of the future rulers of Russia, Father Abel indicated “the last one will be the king who ascends the throne between March and April.” Like other great prophets, the wanderer Vasily is interesting for his special aesthetics of reticence. The terrible truth of his predictions lies in the knowledge of those times when the Russian people will lose their statehood. From this point of view, voicing the dates of life and death and periods of reign of half a dozen rulers of Russia should be considered nothing more than the boyish fun of the Russian genius.
In addition to the fact that the Prophetic Abel accurately predicted the fate of all Russian sovereigns, he predicted both world wars with their characteristic features, the Civil War and the “godless yoke” and much more, up to 2892, according to the prophet - the year of the end of the world. Although all these are retellings of versions and stories of contemporaries, his prophecies themselves, as already written, have not yet been found. There are many versions about this, “sensational” articles appear with headlines like this: “Did Putin know about Abel’s prediction?” It is possible that Abel’s predictions are hidden somewhere in the archives of the secret department, which was headed by the security officer Bokiy. The top-secret department was engaged in the search for Shambhala, paranormal phenomena, prophecies and predictions. All materials from this top-secret department have allegedly not yet been discovered.
In “gratitude” for his prophecies, Abel spent more than twenty years of his life in prison.
“His life was spent in sorrows and hardships, persecutions and troubles, in fortresses and strong castles, in terrible judgments and in difficult trials,” says the “Life and Suffering of Father and Monk Abel.”
Fatal date - 2892 years, that is, the end of the world, is often mentioned in works about the monk Abel, but is not confirmed by the predictions recorded by the prophet himself. It is believed that the book about the coming of the Antichrist is the “main” book of Abel, “worthy of surprise and horror.”
Until she is found, we know nothing about the time of the coming of the Antichrist. And do you really need to know - after all, this is, by the way, the end of the world. The end of everything.

Abel, the famous monk, nicknamed “The Prophetic”, who predicted the fall of the Romanov dynasty, still remains a very mysterious person. How did he make his predictions and, most importantly, what remained unknown to us, our descendants? Does Russia have a happy future, or...

Abel, known as Vasily Vasiliev, was born in 1757 in the village of Akulovo, Tula province, into the family of a horse-farmer. At the age of 19, he left home, wandered throughout Great Rus' for 9 years, and in the fall of 1785 he humbly asked the abbot of the Valaam Monastery to allow him to live in the monastery. After living for a year in the monastery, Abel asked the good abbot, Abbot Nazarius, to go “to the desert,” settling as a hermit in a monastery.

Various temptations overcame Abel in the monastery, and at the age of 30, after a mysterious vision, he received the gift of prophecy and set out on a new journey “to tell and preach the mysteries of God.” For another 9 years he wandered around the world and finally stopped at the St. Nicholas Monastery in the Kostroma province. In the monastery, he wrote “a wise and wise book, in which it is written about the royal family.” The abbot of the monastery was seriously frightened and immediately sent Abel, along with his book, to Kostroma, to the spiritual consistory.

Archbishop Paul was even more frightened than the rector - after all, the book said that “Empress Catherine the Second will soon lose this life and her death will happen suddenly.” The fortuneteller, shackled, away from sin, was sent to St. Petersburg under strict escort.
During interrogations in St. Petersburg, Abel humbly answered Chief Prosecutor Samoilov: “I was taught to write this book by the One who created heaven and earth, and everything in them...” Samoilov was especially interested in two questions: “Question 1. What did you dare to say in the book his own, as if Emperor Peter III had fallen from his wife? Question 2. Why did you include in your book such words that especially relate to Her Majesty, namely, “Akiba’s son will rise up against her” and so on, and how did you understand them?” To which the seer humbly responded: “For this is what God revealed to me.” They reported to the empress. But she, who did not tolerate mysticism, did not want to meet the prophet and ordered him to be imprisoned forever in the Shlisselburg fortress.

The prisoner spent 10 months and 10 days in a secret cell - until the death of the empress. In the casemate, he learned the news that shocked Russia, which he had known about for a long time: on November 6, 1796, at 9 o’clock in the morning, Empress Catherine II suddenly died. Exactly to the day, as the prophetic monk predicted.

Emperor Paul, having ascended the throne, immediately summoned Abel. Having removed those close to him, Paul “with fear and joy” asked to bless his reign, and also asked Abel “what will happen to him?” The Life is silent about Abel’s answer. Perhaps, taught by bitter experience and not wanting to go back to the dungeon, Abel kept silent about something, since Paul ordered Abel to be settled in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra and to be provided with everything he needed.

After living for a year in the Lavra, Abel did not calm down, he went again to Valaam, where he wrote a new book, “similar to the first and even more important.” Once again, the frightened abbot reported to St. Petersburg. The book was delivered to Paul I. It contained a prophecy about the imminent violent death of Pavel Petrovich, about which during a personal meeting the monk either prudently remained silent, or there was no revelation to him yet. Even the exact date of death of the emperor is indicated. On May 12, 1800, the angry Pavel ordered the ill-fated Abel to be imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress, in the Alekseevsky Ravelin, where he again spent 10 months and 10 days - until Pavel suddenly died “from a blow.” Emperor Alexander, having ascended the throne, immediately sent the ill-fated soothsayer to Solovki.

But even here the restless monk could not calm down. In 1802 On Solovki, Abel writes the third book, “in it it is written how Moscow will be taken and in what year.” At the same time, the year 1812 is indicated and the burning of Moscow is predicted. Emperor Alexander, not believing Abel, ordered to put the crazy monk in a monastery prison, promising that he would sit there until his prophecy came true.

Abel spent 10 years and 9 months in a terrible monastery prison. The prisoners there were treated mercilessly, two of them died from cold, hunger and carbon smoke, and good Abel, who decided to intercede for them, the regime was tightened to the point that he “was under death ten times, a hundred times he came to despair.”

When Napoleon captured Moscow, Alexander remembered Abel. The Solovetsky abbot received an order: if the prisoner is still alive, immediately send him to St. Petersburg. Despite the obvious resistance of the abbot, Abel was nevertheless taken to the capital, where the Chief Prosecutor of the Synod, A.N. Golitsyn, talked with the obstinate monk. The conversation was long, its exact content is unknown to anyone, since the conversation took place face to face. According to the monk himself, he told the prince “everything from beginning to end.” Having heard in the “secret answers” the prophetic monk’s predictions, according to rumors, of the fate of all sovereigns until the end of centuries, until the coming of the Antichrist, the prince was horrified and was afraid to present the monk to the sovereign. After a conversation with Prince Golitsyn, Abel was left alone, and the soothsayer himself lost his desire to make predictions. “Now I decided it was better not to know anything, although to know and remain silent,” the monk answered his patron Countess Potemkina.

All subsequent years, Abel wandered, avoiding sedentary monastic life. He visited the Greek Athos, Constantinople-Constantinople, and Jerusalem. He was met either in Moscow or in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, some considered him a prophet, some a charlatan. “Many of my friends saw him and talked to him; he is a simple man, without the slightest information and gloomy; many ladies, considering him a saint, went to see him and asked about their daughters’ suitors; He answered them that he was not a seer and that he only predicted when inspiration told him to speak. Since 1820, no one has seen him again, and it is not known where he went,” wrote L.N. Engelhardt in his “Notes.”

N.P. Rozanov traced the further fate of Abel using documents. In 1823, he was placed in the Vysotsky Monastery, but a few months after the death of Emperor Alexander, Abel quietly disappeared from the monastery, since “the father archimandrite wanted to send him to St. Petersburg by a false decree to the new sovereign” - perhaps Abel again wrote a new prophecy, which scared him abbot. One way or another, the new Emperor Nicholas, having familiarized himself with Abel’s case, ordered to imprison him in the prison department in the Suzdal Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery, the main church prison. There, in a secluded cell, the “life and suffering” of the monk Abel ended in 1841.

In 1875, the magazine “Russian Antiquity” (No. 2) published “The Life and Sufferings of Father and Monk Abel,” written by him at the beginning of the 19th century, 20 years before his death. At the very beginning of the “Life” the most important prediction of the monk was stated that in 1842. God's grace will descend on the earth and “all his elect and all his saints will reign. And they will reign with him for a thousand and fifty years, and at that time there will be one flock throughout the whole earth and one shepherd among them... then the dead will rise and the living will be renewed, and there will be judgment for all and division for all: who will be resurrected to eternal life and to immortal life and those who will be given over to death and corruption and eternal destruction.” This will happen in 2892.

Alas, this prediction has not yet come true, and God’s grace has not arrived on earth! The seditious books he compiled have not reached us, except for two: “The Book of Genesis” and “The Life and Sufferings of the Father and Monk Abel.” There are no prophecies in either book, except those that had already come true by that time. But, according to the descriptions of contemporaries, other books set out the history of the fall of the Romanov dynasty and even something related to our time. Still, we are left with the testimony of contemporaries.
