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.

If it weren't for Lilia, I simply wouldn't have survived...

I couldn't bring myself to write for a long time, but remembering how I was looking for at least one hope, I decided to share it anyway. My name is Tatyana. I was married for 8 years. Love since college. We've been through it all: poverty, rented apartments, loans, miscarriages, tears. But we held on. Together. Always. Until he started staying late at work. Then - cold in his eyes. Silence. Then he said: "I don't love you. It's all over." It seemed to me that I was going crazy. I was going from one extreme to another. I was looking for someone to blame in myself. I couldn't breathe, eat, live. I felt that he still loved me, something just happened. But he was like a stranger. A friend of mine recommended Liliya to me, who had also gone through the same thing. I wrote to her with trembling hands. She answered right away. "He didn't leave. He's lost. But if you're ready to go all the way, I'll help." We had several sessions. She did a cleansing. I read spells, burned candles. I cried, falling asleep with a prayer in my heart. And one morning he just... arrived. Without words. Without explanations. Knelt down. Hugged. "Forgive me. Forgive me. It was as if something was holding me. I was not myself. I want to come back. If you are still waiting..." I waited. And waited. Now he is more caring than ever. Flowers, kind words, he even started talking about a second child. Lily - you are an angel. Not just a woman, not just a clairvoyant. You are like a mother who carefully pulled me out of a hole. If you are suffering now and do not know where to go - go to Lily. She will not let you drown.

He went to my friend. I wanted to disappear...

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
 

White magic, prayers, fortune telling - Olga Nikolaevna helped

My story may seem typical to some, but I still believe that Olga Nikolaevna changed my fate. I came to her when I was deeply depressed after losing a loved one. The pain would not go away, my dreams were disturbing, my health was constantly failing. Psychologists did not help - everything felt like some kind of shadow on me. I found out about Olga Nikolaevna through a friend who had already contacted her. I called her on Viber: +380687014758. The session was remote, but very powerful. She said that I not only had an energy leak, but also a trace of a strong evil eye that had been going on since the funeral. She cleansed me, explained how to close the pain channels, what prayers to read. She did everything with great respect, without fear, without pressure. Three days after the ceremony, I felt light - for the first time in months. And then I started to come back to life: I had more strength, they removed my diagnosis based on hormones, and I started working again. Now I always know who to turn to. Olga Nikolaevna is not just a clairvoyant, she is a very bright person. Viber: +380687014758.
 

Lilya is an amazing person!

Lilia is an amazing person! I felt like there was a "wall" between my husband and me, even though everything had been wonderful before. After the consultation and the harmonization ritual, everything changed: we started talking again, laughing, and planning for the future. Even the children noticed how warm and calm it was at home. Thank you so much! I'm writing her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
