The performance in Russian with English subtitles "Alexey Alexandrovich" based on the great Leo Tolstoy's novel "Anna Karenina" in an elegant theater near Lincoln Center in Manhattan became an event in New York theater. I never cease to admire the great city, where they respect the preservation of the culture and traditions of residents who speak different languages. It is no secret that in higher education institutions in New York they study the classics of Russian literature, including Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and others. On stage, as in a breathtaking black and white film, the tragic story of Karenin unfolds in the interpretation of the talented director Gera Sandler and playwright Roman Freud, a graduate of the theater school. Shchukin, who has lived in the USA for many years and created many theatrical gems. "Alexey Alexandrovich" is a bold rethinking of Tolstoy's story of Anna Karenina by contemporary artists, sometimes developing into a philosophical debate. “When I was left without a wife, I thought that I was serving the Lord. I thought, but you need to think not about today, but about the future. Thanks from a crushed man, I won’t do anything,” sound the hero’s heartbreaking words. The characters and situations of Tolstoy's novel are so alive and real that they allow the novel to be viewed from any point of view without losing the authenticity of the narrative. Alexey Aleksandrovich Karenin, a high-ranking government official, a true professional and reformer who truly cares about the fate of his homeland, finds himself in the midst of a personal tragedy that destroys the usual order of things and the scale of values. “You must forgive Anna, as I forgave my husband,” said Dolly. “Every day they look at me with bewilderment, and you probably won’t forgive me for loving someone else’s child. Yes, my wife left me, and something incomprehensible happened to me, I realized that my career was over. Misfortune with my wife , problems with a colleague - I realized that my career was over, and that nothing was expected of me, although I was a member of various commissions, they listened to me, what I proposed,” reflects Karenin. The hero struggles with himself, his life suddenly falls apart like a house of cards. He is forced to reconsider his views, look inside his soul, be reborn and become different - sincere, real, sensitive. Many who came to the performance expected that Anna, beautifully played by Margarita Merkuryeva (who is also the producer), would throw herself under the train, but on stage we see Anna, not like the usual Karenina from films and books. This is how the story told anew, shown by the actors Pavel Shatu, Dima Koan, Tatyana Kot and Georgy Kirilenko, revealing new facets of the novel, read more than once in the past. In addition, a heartfelt song suddenly sounds performed by actress Marina Ivashchenko against the backdrop of a sobbing Alexei Alexandrovich: “The ridicule of nature shouts: save yourself who can, the title is high, ladies, corsets, perfume, toilets, and there is emptiness inside. The clouds will melt, and I am like a candle "I'm burning out." But is such a person allowed to exist in the world of St. Petersburg or our society? Is he becoming torn between his sincere feelings and powerful public opinion? Tragedies change personalities. If someone abandoned someone, then sadness remains, but not tragedy, and if the person himself is abandoned, then the whole world is destroyed for him, but at this time he can become stronger.

Silk Road Festival in New York - a triumph of culture and unity For several years now, like many others, I have been looking forward to the Silk Road Festival with particular anticipation. It is organized by a tireless, bright female leader, an outstanding teacher, Alena Badalova, who heads the My Way children's cultural and educational center. This is not just an event - it is a real spiritual holiday that promotes mutual enrichment, spiritual unity and reveals the dazzling palette of cultures of our multinational New York - a beacon of multiculturalism and creativity. The festival reflects the essence of My Way Center's mission - to provide an opportunity for self-expression, creativity, intercultural dialogue - and is a beacon of humanism, respect and cooperation. Despite the serious challenges that preceded the festival, it still took place with triumph. Several months before the event, a building next to the center caught fire, classes were cancelled, and one of the invited groups from California got into a car accident and ended up in the hospital. However, having overcome all the difficulties, the artists took to the stage and amazed the audience with their heartfelt number dedicated to Azerbaijan, causing a storm of applause at the Oceana Theatre. And against all odds, on June 1, 2025, Center My Way organized a grand festival "Silk Road", which became a real ode to the historical and cultural greatness of the ancient trade route that connected East and West, and the route served for centuries for exchange - not only of goods, but also of ideas, art, beliefs, philosophy. An impressive mosaic of national cultures unfolded on the theater stage. Cultural gems from countries such as Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kalmykia, Buryatia, India, Mongolia, Turkey and others were presented - all those whose history is intertwined with the history of the legendary Silk Road. Showing mutual respect and pride in their heritage, the festival encourages the younger generation to explore the world through the lens of art, history and universal human values. I would like to express special gratitude to the director Alena Badalova and the art director, the famous artist and sculptor Emin Guliyev. Their inexhaustible energy, professionalism and love for children fill this project with life. The creativity and success of the students of Emin Guliyev's art studio have been followed with admiration on social networks for many years. Together with dedicated employees, volunteers and leaders of musical and dance groups, they created a truly magical atmosphere, giving children a chance to perform on the professional stage of the American theater Oceana. I would also like to mention many other leaders of musical groups. These are professional dancers, ballerinas and just beauties, for example, Irina, the head of Irina Dancing Studia and others, from whom it was impossible to take your eyes off. And the way the children performed, there are simply no words! And can you imagine what it is like to bring dozens of child dancers on stage who danced together with professionals? Many children have grown up before my eyes, and I rejoice in their successes as in the victories of my child. I often see the performance of children from the My Way center at various events in the city, and this is always the highlight of the event. And it is not surprising that the efforts of Alena Badalova and the center's staff were recognized with honorary certificates and gratitude from public and political figures: from Assemblymen William Colton, Alec Brooke-Krasny, Senator Stephen Chen, which was presented by the Senator's chief adviser Ari Kagan, on behalf of the Mayor of New York Eric L. Adams, which was presented by the Assistant Commissioner for the Department of Arts and Culture of New York Kendal Henry, and from other government representatives who honored the organizers for their contribution to the development of culture and the education of the younger generation - and, believe me, each certificate is recognition of service to people. Also, the famous lawyer Eva Rakhamimova was awarded an honorary certificate for charitable activities, and it is worth noting that many city events took place thanks to her support. In an interview, Alena Badalova said: “I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the New York City Department of Cultural Afairs in partnership with the City Council, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and New York State Legislature, New York City Mayor Eric L. Adams, The State Committee on Work with Diaspora of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Permanent Mission of Azerbaijan to the United Nations, Diana Bagrationi Foundation, Buryad Mongol United Association, Darina Sanzhieva, Law Office of Yeva Rakhamimov and Oceana Theater. It is their generous support and grant that have made this event possible, enabling us to continue this cherished tradition." Marina Lagunova
When I came to Lilya, I was completely broken. My husband had left home almost a month ago, and I had already stopped believing that anything could change. Lilya didn't judge or pressure me—she simply listened to me so attentively that for the first time in a long time, I stopped crying. She said that everything could still be fixed if I could regain peace in my heart. A few days after our conversation, my husband himself wrote to me and asked to meet. We talked until the morning, and he admitted that all this time he had felt a strange desire to come back, "as if someone had helped him see everything differently." Now we are back together, learning to cherish each other. Lilya gave me hope—and I feel alive again.

I still can't believe my life has changed so dramatically for the better. Before turning to the magician Zakhar, I felt as if someone had sucked all my energy out. Constant failures, unexplained illnesses, arguments with loved ones. All of this was literally suffocating me. I was in despair when I accidentally found Zakhar's contact information. I messaged him on Viber and asked for a diagnosis. I was truly amazed by his ability to accurately describe my circumstances and inner state without asking any questions. His diagnosis was so accurate that it left no doubt about his psychic abilities and great power. I asked him to help me. Zakhar described possible solutions to the problem. We agreed. Over the next month, he conducted work using magical practices. Results were noticeable within the first few weeks. My overall health improved, my emotional balance was restored, and previously existing barriers in various areas of my life began to disappear. By the end of the month, significant positive changes had occurred. Everything at work has returned to normal, and my relationship with my loved one has become more harmonious. Overall, I've gained a sense of inner stability and well-being. I'd like to highlight Zakhar's high level of professionalism and exceptional abilities. I highly recommend his services to anyone facing similar problems and seeking an effective solution. Zakhar's number is +380954248510.
