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

He left. I was left alone. And only Lilia said: This is not the end.
Everyone said, "Let it go. Forget it." But my heart ached. When I came to Lilia, I was broken. She saw that there was still a connection between us. And she helped me restore it. I worked on myself. On my energy, on my state. Lilia led me step by step. After two months, he called. After three, he came back. Now we are together again, as if everything was all over again. Only stronger.

My husband and I lived together for 10 years... I believed that we had a strong family, that the difficulties we had gone through together had only hardened us. But everything collapsed suddenly. He changed... became cold, distant... And then I found out about her. A mistress. Young, daring, without a shred of conscience. She called me brazenly, laughed, threw insults in my face. She was destroying my family, my soul, my life. I cried at night, prayed, did not know why all this was happening to me. The pain was so strong that it seemed I simply could not stand it. The last hope was the fortune teller Martha, whom a friend told me about. I came to her, broken, with my hands down. And she looked at me and understood everything without words. I did not have to say anything... she herself told me about our life. Calmly, with kindness, she began to work. I did a love spell on that woman, a cleansing... and most importantly, I brought my husband back to the family. He came. With tears. With remorse. He said that he was in a fog, as if under someone else's influence. Now he is nearby, holding my hand, hugging our daughter. And I... I still can't believe that this is my life again. Thank you Marfa! She saved my family! Saved me! Her number is +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
