Unofficial

The Hrushiv apparitions occurred in the village of Hrushiv (Lviv Oblast, western Ukraine) beginning on 26 April 1987 — exactly the first anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. A 12-year-old girl, Marina Kizyn, first saw the Virgin Mary on the balcony of the Chapel of the Blessed Trinity. The apparition was subsequently witnessed by thousands of villagers and an estimated half a million pilgrims over the following months — an extraordinary event under Soviet rule, when religion was suppressed and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church was still officially banned. Because the Church itself was illegal at the time, the apparitions were never subjected to a formal canonical investigation; they remain a popular but officially unrecognised devotion.

The apparition came on the first anniversary of Chernobyl, understood as a sign of the chastisement of the godless system.

Reality: Fulfilled within four years: the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church was legalised in 1989 after 43 years of being banned; the Soviet Union dissolved in December 1991; Ukraine declared independence on 24 August 1991. The 70 years of 'suffering' span roughly the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to the 1987-1991 collapse.
Warning of a Coming Third World War
1987 AD — Hrushiv, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine
Pending
The Hrushiv messages included an urgent call to prayer, penance and the Rosary, warning that humanity stood close to a great chastisement — a third world war — unless the world turned back to God. The apparition is widely linked to the older Fatima warnings about Russia, given that Hrushiv lies in the lands most affected by Soviet atheism.
