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 turned to Lilya as my last hope. She conducted a powerful practice, and within a week he started contacting me. And then—a meeting, a conversation, a hug... It all seemed like a snap. Mysticism? Perhaps. The main thing is, he's back. Lilya, you are powerful. I'm writing her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
I suffered from failure for a long time, and everything I did always ended in failure. I decided to consult a clairvoyant, and she discovered a curse on my family line, passed down from generation to generation. She performed a powerful ritual to remove the family curse, and soon real changes began to occur in my life. My work increased, my relationships improved, and old problems disappeared. I am very grateful for her help. Contact number: +16463779379.
I don’t know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what is most precious to me.
To be honest... I was in complete and utter shit back then. My wife left, slamming the door so hard that everything inside me collapsed. The apartment was empty, the silence was oppressive, I was pacing the room like a cornered wolf. I couldn't work, I sent my friends away, I hated myself. My life was going to hell. At some point, I realized: that's it, I can't handle it anymore. And I went to Matrona. Without hope, without any pretty words... just like a man who has no one else to turn to. I begged her like a man, please help... If there's even a chance to get her back, help. I was already at rock bottom. And, damn it, the last thing I expected happened. A couple of days later, my wife contacted me herself. Not with any show-offs, not with reproaches... she just said... Let's talk. I almost dropped the phone. She came home... And we talked so much that it seemed the walls were shaking: we broke down, screamed, were silent, cried. But damn, it was real. And most importantly... she stayed. The house came to life. I came to life. It was as if someone had shaken us both. I don't know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what was most precious to me. I couldn't have done it without her. Here's her number: +38(063) 022 89 99 Viber/WhatsApp
