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

Sasha and I were together for almost 4 years. Young, in love, making plans. He proposed to me. I was already looking at a wedding dress. And then everything changed dramatically. He started getting angry over little things, getting irritated, leaving in the evenings. I felt like I was losing him, but I couldn’t do anything. At some point, he just said: “I’m sorry, I don’t want to be with you anymore. This is not it.” I fell to my knees. Begged him to stay. He turned away. And left. The worst thing is silence. When you cry into your pillow, and he doesn’t even text. When your phone is silent for days. When you look out the window, hoping that he will appear - but no. Only darkness. I found Lilia by chance, through Instagram. I don’t know why, but I felt: she is my last hope. She immediately said: “Your happiness was stolen from you. But it is yours by fate. If you believe, we will return it.” And so it began. Prayers, working at night, protection, rituals. It was hard. But on the 10th day he wrote: "Forgive me. I don't know what came over me. I'm confused. I need you." A week later he came with flowers. He stood on the threshold, with eyes full of tears. Now we are together again. It's like he has become different. Gentle, caring, afraid of losing me. Lily, you changed my life. You pulled me out of hell. You brought back my happiness. Thank you for every prayer.
