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. Marina Lagunova

I thank Matrona for those who turned me into happiness, for her wisdom and light.
I haven’t had the courage to write this for a long time, because everything I’ve been through so far makes my heart hurt. Soon after I separated from my partner, I left my family, and a darker period of life began for me. Sleepless nights, tears, being empty at home, despair and hopelessness... I didn’t believe that I could turn him around and renew our family. When I returned to Matrona, this was my remaining peace, my remaining hope. She listened to me with such warmth and understanding, and she shared my love. From the first words, it became clear that I was not alone, that there was light at the end of this darkness. Matrona helped me walk this important path: she turned faith in myself, changed my soul and heart. I began to mark the signs that she indicated, and the man himself, having earned the first crumb before reconciliation. Those who seemed impossible, became - we turned home. Today we meet again. Our home is filled with joy, laughter and warmth. I thank Matrona for those who turned me into happiness, for her wisdom and light. Without her help, my family couldn’t get back together no. +380630228999 viber/whatsapp
I hesitated for a long time to consult a clairvoyant, but my personal situation had me completely stumped. A friend gave me the contact information for a woman who really helps—she's both a clairvoyant and a tarot reader. I'll be honest, I was skeptical, but after talking with her, I was absolutely shocked. She explained everything as if she'd known me for a long time, even things I hadn't said. She lifted my ire, and literally within a week, my relationship with my boyfriend began to improve. I'm so grateful to her! If anyone needs help, here's the number I called: +1 646 377 9379.
