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

Martha gave me back my family and my meaning in life! I will be grateful to her for the rest of my days. I will leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
I didn't believe that anything could be fixed in my situation. It was the end... I knew it. I had ruined everything myself: I had cheated on someone else, my wife found out, packed her things, took the children, and simply disappeared from my life. All that remained was emptiness, silence, and the feeling that I was the biggest fool in the world. My friends had turned away, the walls at home were cold, and in my head there was only one thing: I had lost everything. In this state, I went to the fortune teller Marfa. Not even with hope... more out of despair. But Marfa said things that only someone with a deeper understanding could know. She didn't judge, didn't pressure, but seemed to look straight into my soul and saw not only my guilt, but also my pain, the regret that I couldn't express to anyone. She said that all was not lost, that my wife's heart was not completely closed. She performed a ritual, gave instructions on what not to do and, conversely, how to proceed. I did everything she said, even though at times it seemed pointless. And then something happened that I'm still afraid to believe. My wife got in touch herself. Then... the first conversation, the first look without hatred, the first tears. And then she came back. With the children. Returned to the house that was once ours, but for me had become an emptiness. Today I understand it was a true miracle. And if anyone says Martha doesn't help... let them first experience what I experienced. She didn't just give me back my wife. She gave me back my family, my meaning in life! I will be grateful to her for the rest of my days. I will leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
Now I know that love can be brought back if there is a person like Lilia nearby.
When I turned to Lilia, my heart was broken. My husband had left, and the relationship seemed irretrievably lost. I had given up hope for a miracle, but Lilia became the light at the end of the tunnel. She saw the whole situation from the very beginning—both what was happening between us and even things I hadn't told anyone. Her rituals, energetic support, and words of wisdom helped not only bring my husband back but also restore my soul. Now I know that love can be restored if there's someone like Lilia by my side. Thank you for everything. I bow deeply! I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
I want to express my deep gratitude to Lilia for her help and compassion. At a time when my strength was waning and I had almost come to terms with the fact that my loved one was gone forever, it was Lilia who helped me believe that things could still change. With her support and guidance, I was able not only to bring my loved one back, but also to rethink my attitude toward myself and our relationship. Thanks to her, we are back together—and now we have a different, more conscious and mature relationship. Lilia, thank you for the sincerity, warmth, and strength you give to people. You don't just help "get people back," you restore their hearts. This is priceless. When life is hard and you don't know how to find a way out, you turn to people with supernatural powers for help! I FOUND SUCH A WITCH!!!! She's VERY POWERFUL AND KNOWS HER WORK!!! I honestly doubted it before calling, but then she started talking to me about my first husband, about my accident too. In general, she said powerful things. But most importantly, she WAS ABLE TO GET MY HUSBAND BACK AND DRIVE AWAY A RIVAL!!!!! EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE HERE and I recommend it to anyone who really needs help!!! Write her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
Zakhar isn't just a magician, he's a man with a true gift. He brought me back not just my husband, but my entire world! I'm incredibly grateful for his help and kind heart. Zakhar's number is +380954248510 (Viber/WhatsApp).
I sat and stared into space. My world had collapsed in an instant. My husband, my support, my best friend, was simply gone. Without explanation, without goodbyes. He severed all ties and filed for divorce. I didn't understand what was happening. I went to fortune tellers, fortune tellers, even some witch, but it was all useless. Only empty promises and lost money. Hope faded with each passing day, until a friend advised me to contact Zakhar. I no longer believed in anything, but out of desperation, I decided to do it. And it was the best decision of my life! When I came to him, he didn't ask me anything. He just looked at me and started talking. He said things that only I knew! He saw my pain, saw the whole situation, as if he had lived through it himself and seen everything through my eyes. It was true clairvoyance. Zakhar agreed to help, and I prayed that it would work. I was happy to have found such a strong man, but I was still a little worried. And can you imagine? It wasn't even a couple of weeks before my Kolya started calling. At first timidly, then more often. He apologized, saying he didn't understand what had come over him. He came home! We were back together, and our family had only grown stronger. Zakhar isn't just a magician, he's a man with a true gift. He gave me back not just my husband, but my whole world! I am immensely grateful for his help and his kind heart. Zakhar's number is +380954248510 (Viber/WhatsApp).
