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.

I thought it was all over. My husband had grown cold, the house was cold, and there were constant arguments. A friend practically insisted: "Go to Lilya, she brings people back to life." At first, I didn't believe her, but after the first consultation, it was like a weight had been lifted from my soul. Lilya said we were cursed with discord. She performed several rituals, and within a couple of days, my husband became softer and started smiling. Now we live like before, even better—with love and respect. Lilya, thank you, my dear, and I bow low to you for bringing warmth back into our hearts! Her number is (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433

Fortune teller Maria sees even what I hid from myself

I ordered a fortune telling about my personal life from Maria. I just wanted to understand what to expect next, because everything in the relationship was at a standstill. Maria told me not only about the situation, but also about my own blocks that were getting in the way - and at that moment I even burst into tears, because everything was true. Her words were very accurate, but without judgment. It was as if a mirror was put in front of me. She predicted that within two months a new person would come into my life. And so it happened. We met by chance - and everything went as if by intuition. Maria does not make empty promises, she speaks to the point, for real. Her number is +1 847 313 0212
