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 don’t know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what is most precious to me.
To be honest... I was in complete and utter shit back then. My wife left, slamming the door so hard that everything inside me collapsed. The apartment was empty, the silence was oppressive, I was pacing the room like a cornered wolf. I couldn't work, I sent my friends away, I hated myself. My life was going to hell. At some point, I realized: that's it, I can't handle it anymore. And I went to Matrona. Without hope, without any pretty words... just like a man who has no one else to turn to. I begged her like a man, please help... If there's even a chance to get her back, help. I was already at rock bottom. And, damn it, the last thing I expected happened. A couple of days later, my wife contacted me herself. Not with any show-offs, not with reproaches... she just said... Let's talk. I almost dropped the phone. She came home... And we talked so much that it seemed the walls were shaking: we broke down, screamed, were silent, cried. But damn, it was real. And most importantly... she stayed. The house came to life. I came to life. It was as if someone had shaken us both. I don't know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what was most precious to me. I couldn't have done it without her. Here's her number: +38(063) 022 89 99 Viber/WhatsApp
Ladies, I decided to write my review because I was once in a difficult situation and was looking for help. After breaking up with my boyfriend, I became depressed, lost sleep, and had no desire to move on. It felt like everything was falling apart. On the advice of a friend, I contacted Ksenia Yakovlevna. I messaged her on WhatsApp. She spoke to me very calmly and listened carefully. She told me about my past and my experiences as if she'd known me for a long time. She said I was carrying a lot of negativity from a previous relationship. We did a cleansing and a ritual to restore my energy. Within a few weeks, I felt better. I had more strength, my anxiety went away, and I began to see life differently. A month later, my ex contacted me himself and asked for forgiveness. Now we're back together. I'm very grateful for her help. Number: +375299146189 (WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram)
I didn't believe in rituals or esotericism, but I was so desperate that I decided to give it a try.
I didn't believe in rituals or esotericism, but I was so desperate that I decided to give it a try. Lilia performed the ritual, and I followed all her recommendations. And—miracle! Eleven days later, my husband showed up. He'd been thinking about me all this time, dreaming about me, as he later admitted. Now we're together, and I know my trust was worth it.

I didn't believe in mysticism, rituals, or energy. But when a loved one leaves, logic is powerless. We broke up after a fight, and he simply disappeared from my life. Lilia didn't just "remove the blocks"—she seemed to reconnect our souls. Twelve days later, he wrote, and a month later, we were back together. Sometimes life gives us a chance through people we don't understand. Lilia is just such a person. I thank you with all my heart. TEL. WhatsApp/Viber: +380638055486 USA/Canada: +19297133433
When I turned to Lilia Pavlovna, I was in complete chaos, both mentally and at home. My husband had left, there were fights at home, and everything was falling apart at work. I no longer knew where to go or who to turn to. But Lilia saw everything herself, without my words, and told me about my life, my past, and the people around me. Everything matched up down to the last detail! She performed her rituals, cleansed me and everything around me. Since then, a lot has changed: my husband has returned, our relationship has improved, and there is peace and warmth at home again. Even my work has improved: I have gained confidence, new opportunities, as if everything had just fallen into place! Lilia Pavlovna is a truly gifted person. She helps sincerely, from the heart, and most importantly, there really is a result. I am writing this review with gratitude and from the bottom of my heart. May she continue to help those who have lost hope. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
