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’ve been thinking for a long time that I could write this... If the man went to bed, simply closing the doors behind him and depriving me and my three small children, I stopped sleeping. The house became empty, and everything seemed important again. I didn’t eat, I didn’t sleep, I marveled at my children and didn’t understand how to live in the future. When I came to Varya’s molfarka, I wasn’t human... for a moment. I sat in front of her, unable to speak the desired word. My breasts were squeezed so hard that I felt like I was dying. And it seemed to me that no one in the world would be able to understand everything about me. Ale Varya did not need to explain anything. She marveled at me and appreciated everything I had experienced. She herself began to talk about those that lie in my soul, about my fears, images, about the empty space that sat in the middle. I heard her and cried like I had never cried in my life. Varya performed her rituals, but most of all she gave me what no one could give: see that I am not evil, that you can still fight for your life, for your family, for myself. And then things happened that I never dared to believe... The man began to write. Then come. Crying, saying that I had received a terrible mercy, that nothing had hit me and I was tired of doing everything differently. When I turned back home, when the children hugged him again, I stood there and couldn’t believe that this was true. I don’t know what It helped... the rituals, the words, the energy and the light that she turns to people. But I know one thing for sure: if it weren’t for Varya, I wouldn’t have gotten out of that hole. She didn’t just tell my family, she told me, phone number +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
