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

If you've lost everything, don't give up. Turn to Matrona.
I never thought I would write something like this. Men aren't supposed to cry, to talk about their feelings... But I sobbed. Like a child. Because I lost the most precious thing: my family. My wife, my children, my home, my warmth, my meaning in life. I destroyed it all with my own hands. I fell in love with another woman. I thought it was love. But it turned out to be emptiness. A lie, an illusion. My wife didn't forgive me. She left. She took the children. I was left alone, in silence, full of guilt. I gave up. I tried to get her back, but she didn't even want to talk to me. I ruined everything. And then I decided to take a desperate step... I wrote to Matrona. I found her on the internet and at first I was even ashamed to admit why I was writing. And she listened. Without reproaches, without ridicule. She simply said: If you are ready to fight... I will help. She worked with me, with my energies, with my soul. It was as if she opened my eyes. I began to truly change. Not in words, but in thoughts, in actions. I began to pray. I waited, I believed. And a miracle happened. My wife responded to my message for the first time. Then we met. She said she felt that I had become different. It was as if an invisible force had pushed aside the wall between us. Two months later, she returned home. With children. With tears. With love. Matrona, you saved my family. You saved me. I don’t know how to thank you. I just pray for you every night and tell others, if you have lost everything, don’t give up. Turn to her. As long as your heart beats, it’s not too late. Her number is +380630228999 Viber/WhatsApp
