Sister Lucia of Fatima, 1957:

“But believe me, Father, God will chastise the world and this will be in a terrible manner………. Tell them, Father, that many times the Most Holy Virgin told my cousins Francisco and Jacinta, as well as myself, that many nations will disappear from the face of the earth. She said that Russia will be the instrument of chastisement chosen by Heaven to punish the whole world ……….”.
