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.

Julien Dassin performs in New York
It was a truly amazing concert, an evening filled with music, emotion and nostalgia. I was invited to see Julien Dassin, son of the legendary Joe Dassin and grandson of director Jules Dassin, perform at the Oceana Theatre, where I was the only American journalist.

Return to Andriy's molfar. He is a serviceable charmer, and his help is priceless. Andria's number +380932169225

Hello everyone! I want to share my story, because maybe someone can help. I still don’t believe what happened to me, but it’s not like this. My man, my soul, my children, has become a stranger. You just need to go to another woman... to a woman I never heard of, and who, as it turned out, gave me a love spell. My heart burst into pieces. The children cried out that I was suffering, and it was even worse. There were prayers, tears, and blessings with the Kohanim. Nothing helped, even though I was under hypnosis. Vipadadkovo's unknown wife in the clinic, at the hour of the wedding, pleased the beast to Andriy's molfar. She said that she shouldn’t hurt people and helps them in the most difficult situations. I thought I was so great that I took the contacts. I wrote to Andriy on WhatsApp and asked for a diagnosis. Vin, no one reads my thoughts, saying that the man is in a tizzy. What a love spell. I got goosebumps all over my body. Please don't ask for details! He told me about everything that happened, so, no one would order. It was incredible! She asked for more help. Andriy began to prance. It's not an easy process. I felt how things were changing, but suddenly it was so scary, why ask? Why turn around, my man? Andriy calmed me down, gave me pleasure, encouraged me. And then, after about an hour, my man began to change. Having become dissatisfied, they then began to talk about those who do not understand how they could have done such a thing. And then I turned around! He turned to us, to the children, to me. Just like after a long sleep, illness and destruction, or just after being at home. I am endlessly in love with molfar Andriy. It’s not just turning me into a person, it’s turning me into my family, my life. This gift is beyond belief, it is something that goes beyond the boundaries of our understanding. If you find yourself in a similar situation and realize that your family is on someone else’s responsibility, don’t get carried away. Return to Andriy's molfar. He is a serviceable charmer, and his help is priceless. Andria's number +380932169225
