Demonstration on Brighton Beach: when politics divides destinies

On May 9, for many years in a row, New Yorkers gathered on Brighton Beach to remember their relatives and heroes who died during World War II. And on May 9, 2024, when the holiday began to be called the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, the day was overshadowed by a provocative demonstration that caused a storm of emotions among Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking residents of the area.
 
The events of recent years related to the war in Ukraine have left a deep imprint in the hearts of many, especially those who have roots in both Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainians fled the war, seeking to protect their lives and the future of their families. Russian-speaking residents who find themselves outside of Russia are forced to face circumstances related to their country's participation in the conflict.
In this context, holding a demonstration with a red flag, which featured a hammer and sickle, in Brighton, where there is a significant number of Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking residents, and it is not surprising that Ukrainians stood in Brighton, next to CHASE Bank, with placards and waited for the Russian-speaking delegation. For Ukrainians, and not only others, the red flag is a symbol reminiscent of the terrible consequences of the war in their homeland, while for Russian speakers it can evoke painful memories of the war that divided peoples.
Many believe that holding such events on such a day and in such an area of New York only causes pain and discord among residents.
However, despite this incident, May 9 remains a symbol of unity and memory, when every family, be it Ukrainian, Russian or any other, remembers its heroes, paying tribute to those who fell in the fight for freedom and peace, stopping fascism. I hope that in the future, the people of Brighton Beach will be able to come together again in peace and harmony, regardless of political differences.

My husband left home for a mistress I didn't know about. I have two children in my arms, a one-year-old daughter, and uncertainty... Completely... Yes, and shock... My beloved and I always understood each other perfectly. And then he has another!!! It turned out she bewitched me, but... I found out later... I understood that something was wrong. I started looking for help from everywhere. I didn't fully believe that it was possible to find a strong clairvoyant or at least a normal fortune teller. I understood that it is not easy to find a magician who has power, but I looked. There were trials and errors. Fortune tellers, magicians, witches... But I felt the difference and understood that Alexander could help me. I just turned to him to tell my fortune for a start. He speaks himself and doesn't ask questions. To the point of goosebumps... Thanks to his work, my husband returned in a matter of days. I sincerely recommend Alexander to everyone +380971792179 there is Viber, WhatsApp

I advise you to contact the clairvoyant magician Zakhar. He not only tells fortunes and makes detailed diagnostics, but also thanks to his magic and rituals my husband came back to me. To be honest, there was very little hope, and until the very end I doubted that someone could help in my situation. Working with fortune tellers did not give results. But when I turned to Zakhar, he amazed me from the first minutes, there was such a feeling that I was like an open book for him, with which he reads everything down to the smallest detail. Words cannot describe it. Even from communication it became easier. We decided what work and in what order should be carried out. I decided. The result did not take long to wait. Literally a couple of weeks later, my husband and I were already living as if all this was a dream. I recommended him to a friend - she was at a personal appointment by appointment. Her issue was also resolved. Here is his Viber and WhatsApp numbers +380954248510
