Grabovoi numbers: whose name are the cheat codes for "hacking" real life

In the spring of 2021, videos with the so-called "Grabovoi numbers"began to appear en masse in tiktok. The authors of the video convince everyone that these sets of numbers, when used correctly, work like cheat codes and help change lives. It sounds like nonsense, but there are always those who believe in such fairy tales. Of course, because the authors of such posts promise that anyone can get what they want without the slightest effort. Wealth, happiness in your personal life, academic success, and even a change in appearance-sounds tempting, right?

In order for Grabovoi's numbers to start working, the plot authors suggest that users "enter them into the Universe". You can do this in different ways: write it down on a piece of paper or on your wrist, make it out loud, or just draw it in the air with your finger. The highest chances of success are those who use special crystals for entering.

By entering the numbers, a person can only wait for the result and carefully observe the changes taking place in themselves and around them, which will not take long to wait. What is this strange rite "for good luck" and how is it related to one of the most famous charlatans of the 90s, Grigory Grabovoi?

A resident of Uzbekistan, Grigory Petrovich Grabovoi, discovered his psychic abilities in the late 80s. In 1991, he behaved so confidently that the Uzbek Civil Aviation Administration (UzUGA) also believed in his superpowers and signed a contract with the visionary to " develop heuristic methods for analyzing, diagnosing and predicting aircraft malfunctions."

That's right-Grabovoy, being a mechanical engineer by training, carried out diagnostics of passenger liners with the power of thought. Of course, for his work, the psychic received money and a lot of it. Only under the first contract with UZUGA, the psychic received 5900 US dollars (235,700 rubles at the 1991 exchange rate). And Grabovoy has signed dozens of such contracts, for different types of services and with different organizations operating aircraft.

The confidence in Grabovoi was so great that in 1994, a state contract was signed with him for "work on the psychic diagnostics of aircraft used for flights of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and members of the government", under which the smart guy received 2 million rubles each month!

In 1995, the psychic became cramped in Uzbekistan and moved to Moscow. Having settled in the Russian capital, Grabovoi registered the "Grigory Grabovoi Foundation-the introduction and dissemination of the Teachings of Grigory Grabovoi "On Salvation and Harmonious Development".

The fraudster appropriated many scientific titles, allegedly assigned to him by existing and fictional domestic and foreign academies and universities. In addition, he claimed that the famous Bulgarian seer Vanga had blessed him to help people.

Grigory Grabovoy earned as much as he could, including by the most shameless deception. One of the most disgusting episodes in his "career" was the revival of dead people. The pseudo-academic and pseudo-psychic was so brazen that he took money from heartbroken people for the revival of their deceased relatives.

Among those deceived by Grabovoi were not only ordinary citizens, but also the famous Juna Davitashvili, also a psychic and healer. The charlatan promised the woman to revive her tragically lost son. The apotheosis of Grabovoi's messianism was a statement made at a press conference in 2005. The psychic promised to revive the children who died in Beslan, and completely free of charge.

The ensuing scandal split the organization of the "Mother of Beslan" and hit the already poor reputation of an impostor from science. But Grabovoi did not care – in October 2005, he announced the creation of his own political party "DRUGG" and the nomination of his candidacy for the presidential election.

But in May 2006, Grabovoi was arrested on a variety of charges under part two of Article 159 on the facts of "committing actions while carrying out activities related to the offer of services, including the resurrection of the dead and the cure of diseases." The trial lasted for almost two years and as a result, Grigory Petrovich received 11 years in a general regime colony.

Grabovoy served only two years of his sentence and was released on PAROLE, as he was on the path of correction. In Russia ,a "scientist" and a psychic with a criminal record impressed few people, and the times were no longer the same, so the crook went to Serbia, where he continued his work, softening the wording a little and acting not so treacherously.

Now "akademik" and "messiah" only sell devices that cure cancer and technologies that allow you to live forever. As for Grabovoi's numbers, this was one of his developments in 2003, to which he even dedicated the book "Restoring the Human Body by concentrating on numbers". It described the treatment of ailments using sets of numbers, like those offered to users of TikTok.

Most likely, the project with numbers was "stillborn" and did not bring the expected profits, so Grabovoy quickly abandoned it. Grigory Petrovich made a weak attempt to arouse interest in his person and numbers in 2020, announcing the combination of numbers he found that helps fight the coronavirus. Fortunately, the fraudster's schemes no longer resonate with the masses.

But teenage ticktockers turned out to be fertile ground for delirium generated by the criminal Grabovoi – the number of videos in which zoomers "introduce numbers into the universe" is growing rapidly.
