About the book: 2023 / Today we often hear about the Third World War in connection with the economic crisis, events in Ukraine and the worsening relations between Russia and the West. Quite serious sources talk about the imminent start of a new world war. How real is this danger? We will try to answer this question based on numerous oral prophecies circulating on the Internet and our own reflections. The book will contain an analysis of modern politics from the point of view of a possible global conflict and the role of Russia in world politics. Based on the philosophy of history and geopolitics, an attempt is made to scientifically comprehend the events of modern history predicted in prophecies. I would like to express special gratitude to the military historian Vyacheslav Ivanovich Dashichev, chief researcher at the Center for Political Research at the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation, for his moral support and assistance in preparing this book, which he considered important for understanding modern international politics.
