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

She didn’t just tell my family, she told me, phone number +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
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)
She saved me when I was on the edge. Lily gave me back my man, my love, my life.
I'm writing this review with tears in my eyes, because I still can't believe it all really happened. When he left, the ground fell out from under my feet. We were together for almost three years. He was everything to me: love, friend, support. But one day, he simply fell silent, distanced himself, became a stranger. And then – disappeared. Without explanation, without goodbyes. My soul screamed in pain, I didn't eat, didn't sleep, didn't live. No one could help. Not my friends, not a psychologist, not my prayers into my pillow at night. I accidentally saw Lilia online. The reviews, like mine now, seemed too magical to be true. But then, I was ready for anything. I wrote to her. And that's where my return to life began. From the first minutes of talking with Lilia, I felt that she knew. Not just guessed – it was as if she was experiencing my pain with me. She told me about the situation as if she had been there herself. She saw that he was being negatively influenced, and that his feelings hadn't disappeared—they were just blocked. Lilia performed a deep energy cleansing and said she would work with me and his energy field. I'll be honest: I was afraid, I doubted, I even thought about giving up. But I continued to follow her instructions. And 12 days later, he wrote. At first, he was reserved. Then he admitted that all this time he had felt something pulling him back. That I was constantly in his thoughts. And a week later, he was standing at my door. With the words: "You couldn't get out of my head. I'm sorry. I want everything back." I sobbed. I hugged him and couldn't believe it wasn't a dream. If it weren't for Lilia, this miracle wouldn't have happened. I know for sure: her gift is real. Her energy, her strength, her words—they are real. She didn't just help me bring back my loved one; she pulled me out of the abyss in which I was perishing. Now we're back together. We're closer than we were before the breakup. He's different. I'm different. Stronger. More confident. More grateful. If you're in pain right now, like I was, don't stay silent, contact Lilia. Her help isn't just rituals. It's light, warmth, and power that truly change lives. Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
When it seemed that everything was falling apart, and our family was standing on the edge of the river, I ran to Varya’s molfarka... Then I didn’t know where to go, who to trust, what to fight for. A house that once filled with laughter and warmth became cold and empty. Lyubov has gone. The man moved away, the children sensed this tension, and I... I just stopped being myself. With hope and hope, I found Varya. I didn’t know what to look for, but my soul was calling... And she sensed me. She didn’t count on miracles... but she did it, she saw our whites like no one else. After I first grew up, it became easier for me to die. These words, this energy, these rituals... everything became a thing for us. She worked with us as carefully as with a wounded bird. And the guts all began to change. The man began to marvel at me again with warmth in his eyes. The children stopped crying at night. And I... I turned to myself. We began to speak, to hear, to forgive. Varya is not just a molfarka, there is a woman in whose hands the light lives. table.Dyakuyu, dear Varya, for those who you were with us then, if you didn’t believe anyone else. Let your kindness and strength return to you a thousand times. Number +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
I want to share my experience with clairvoyant Rufina. I read a lot of good things about her on forums, so I decided to contact her. I didn't regret it! The Viber reading was so accurate that I was shocked. She not only predicted important events but also immediately gave recommendations on how to improve my current situation. I was especially impressed by her approach to rituals. Rufina conducts them with great soul and faith. She truly visits sacred places, and it's clear that she performs each ritual with love and respect for her work. My problems began to disappear, and I felt my life improving. From now on, I will always turn only to Rufina when I need help. I recommend her to anyone looking for real support and help in difficult situations! Here is her number: +380686790785 WhatsApp/Viber
