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

Anya and I had been friends for 14 years. Since we went to school together. She was at our house, we went to the country together, drank wine in the kitchen and shared the most personal things. And then... my husband left for her. I didn't even understand at first. Anya became strange, distant. And then he said: "We love each other. I'm sorry, Inna." I couldn't breathe. I couldn't speak. I just sat and stared at the wall. My heart wasn't beating. The children asked: "Where is dad?" - and I didn't know what to answer. Lily appeared as a sign. I saw her page by chance. I just clicked. And when she looked at the situation, she said: "This is not love. This is dirty envy and influence. We will take this off. He will come back if you are ready to forgive." I doubted. I was angry. Broken. But I agreed. And you know what? Two weeks later, he was on his knees. He said that he had gone crazy, that he was living someone else's life. He cried, held my hand. I forgave. Yes. Not right away. But I forgave. For the sake of the children. For our sake. And the "friend" was left with nothing. Thank you, Lilia. You are not just a clairvoyant. You are a woman with a huge soul. I thank you with all my heart. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433

He left for another. Younger. I am 6 years older than him, and he always noticed it... I was silent when he said he didn't love me. Silently I packed his things. And then I just stayed in an empty apartment, with a ring on my finger and tears on my cheeks. My friend said: "Write to Lilya. She knows how to get me back." I didn't believe it... but I wrote. He came back 5 days later. He said he thought about me every day. He cried. He asked for forgiveness. I don't know what Lilya did, but it was a real miracle... Lilya, you are not just a woman - you are an angel. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
The magician Alexander helped me put my life in order.
The magician Alexander helped me get my life in order. At one point, I was beset by troubles and trials from all sides—it was enough to make me howl. It was nonstop, one disaster after another, and one failure after another. Everything was breaking, spoiling, getting upset, and never coming together. From the smallest to the largest. I couldn't believe it was happening to me. Everything was falling apart: my work, my social life, my health. It was like an endless bad movie mocking me. While I still had the strength, I even laughed about it, but after a while it wasn't funny anymore, and I started thinking hard. It couldn't be that my life had just gone downhill. The magician Alexander helped me find the cause and fix it. I'm happy that when I came across his number +380971792179, I took the plunge and wrote him on WhatsApp asking to see what was wrong with me. This decision literally saved me. Alexander is a powerful clairvoyant and told me everything about my situation, right down to the names, without asking me anything. He offered me options and a way to deal with it. I was amazed by his abilities and immediately asked for his help. The work lasted several weeks. During the process, my life began to improve before my very eyes. I felt like I could breathe again, and my luck had returned. Alexander always kept me informed of what was happening and how the process was progressing. I now remember that period as a nightmare that lasted forever. I am infinitely grateful to Alexander. I recommend everyone contact him if they are facing difficulties.
