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 don't know how to express my gratitude to Marfa. When my husband left our family, I thought my life was ruined forever. Sleepless nights, tears, despair... all of this became my reality. On the advice of a friend, I turned to Marfa. She listened carefully and told me things that a stranger couldn't know. After some time, my relationship with my husband began to change; he began calling more often, seeking meetings, and then returned home. Today, our family is back together. For me, this is a true miracle. Thank you, Marfa, for the help, support, and hope she gave me. Her number is +380931150260, Viber / WhatsApp.
New York City fortune telling reviews – real help from clairvoyant Natalia Valerievna (+380667493555)
Ladies, after living in New York for several years, I realized how difficult it is to find someone with a true gift here, not just marketing. When my life hit a rough patch and my business was at a standstill, I turned to local "experts," but nothing came of it other than huge bills—no one could really help. A friend gave me Natalya Valeryevna's contact information. The consultation was conducted remotely in a very comfortable, conversational format (a very convenient phone call: with or without a camera—your choice). She immediately identified the problem, combining photo reading, Tarot, digital psychology, and my horoscope. She said things no one in the US could have known about! The rituals she performed worked like a charm—in just three weeks, the situation turned around in my favor. Contact her on Telegram: +380667493555. A very powerful practitioner!
I want to leave a review because I once searched forums myself. I consulted many clairvoyants and tarot readers, but there was no result. Galina was completely different. Her readings were very accurate, she explained everything about the past and present, without making anything up. She helped me understand my situation with my loved one and suggested what to do next. After her work, things became much easier. Galina's number: +19297702787.
