A blind psychic who predicted the September 11 terror attacks also foretold that Vladimir Putin would rule the world one day.

Bulgarian Baba Vanga, who died at the age of 85 in 1996, was known as the 'Nostradamus of the Balkans.'

In 1979, Vanga - who reportedly had an 85 per cent success rate with her predictions - told writer Valentin Sidorov that Russia would become "lord of the world" after Europe became a "wasteland."

"All will thaw, as if ice, only one remain untouched – Vladimir's glory, glory of Russia," she said, according to the Birmingham Mail.

"Too much it is brought in a victim. Nobody can stop Russia."

She added: "All will be removed by her from the way and not only will be kept, but also becomes lord of the world."

Putin, who first became president just over 18 years ago, is set to remain in power for another six years after Sunday's presidential election, the Daily Mail reported.

He assumed the role of acting president of Russia in December 1999 and has gone on to dominate the Russian political landscape since.

Bulgarian Baba Vanga, who died at the age of 85 in 1996, prophesised that Vladimir Putin would rule the world one day.

Vanga, who was born Vangelia Pandeva Dimitrova in a village in Strumica, also foretold of Brexit decades ago.

She also claimed Europe as we know it would "cease to exist" by the end of 2016.

The mystic said the continent would be turned into a "wasteland almost entirely devoid of human life."

Although not entirely accurate, Britain did vote to leave the European Union on June 23 of that year.

It is also claimed she foretold the break-up of the Soviet Union, the Chernobyl disaster, the date of Stalin's death, the sinking of the Russian submarine Kursk, the September 11 attacks, the rise of ISIS, the 2004 Tsunami and the rising tensions with North Korea.

Vanga mysteriously lost her eyesight at the age of 12 during a massive storm.

Her family allegedly found her several days later on death's door – with her eyes sealed shut and covered with dirt.

She later claimed to have experienced her first vision when she was missing and believed she had been given the power to predict the future and heal others.
