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

There is peace in the house now, and I am grateful to Lilia for her rituals and support.
Lilia suggested performing a series of reconciliation rituals, and I agreed because I wanted to take every opportunity. Afterward, it was as if a wall disappeared between my husband and me—he became calmer, we started talking, and gradually we regained our trust. Now there's peace in our home, and I'm grateful to Lilia for her rituals and support. I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls).
Ladies, this might be helpful to someone. I debated for a long time whether to write or not, but I finally decided to share. I contacted her because of love—my boyfriend had left me, and I was desperate. She looked into the situation and said there was still room for improvement. She worked on restoring our relationship and removing negativity. After a while, we started communicating normally again. She also helped me with my health—after her work, I really felt better.

If it weren't for Lilia, I simply wouldn't have survived...
I couldn't bring myself to write for a long time, but remembering how I was looking for at least one hope, I decided to share it anyway. My name is Tatyana. I was married for 8 years. Love since college. We've been through it all: poverty, rented apartments, loans, miscarriages, tears. But we held on. Together. Always. Until he started staying late at work. Then - cold in his eyes. Silence. Then he said: "I don't love you. It's all over." It seemed to me that I was going crazy. I was going from one extreme to another. I was looking for someone to blame in myself. I couldn't breathe, eat, live. I felt that he still loved me, something just happened. But he was like a stranger. A friend of mine recommended Liliya to me, who had also gone through the same thing. I wrote to her with trembling hands. She answered right away. "He didn't leave. He's lost. But if you're ready to go all the way, I'll help." We had several sessions. She did a cleansing. I read spells, burned candles. I cried, falling asleep with a prayer in my heart. And one morning he just... arrived. Without words. Without explanations. Knelt down. Hugged. "Forgive me. Forgive me. It was as if something was holding me. I was not myself. I want to come back. If you are still waiting..." I waited. And waited. Now he is more caring than ever. Flowers, kind words, he even started talking about a second child. Lily - you are an angel. Not just a woman, not just a clairvoyant. You are like a mother who carefully pulled me out of a hole. If you are suffering now and do not know where to go - go to Lily. She will not let you drown.
