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 thank the magician Oleksandr for helping me during this difficult period of my life. For the sake of this wise man, the gift of clairvoyance and foresight helped me to understand those who are close to me. This gave me the opportunity to gain insight and make the right decisions. And all these rituals took place there, where I couldn’t do anything with my powers. Varto will be open until unsolicited help. Sign up for a consultation with Oleksandr using his number +380971792179 on Viber and WhatsApp. It’s awkward, but it’s the most correct decision.
He left, but Lilia helped bring back not just a person, but love.
When my husband left, I felt like I was just dying inside. 7 years together, and he says: "I don't feel anything anymore." I begged, cried, called - it was all useless. I heard about Lilya from a colleague. At first I didn't believe it. But after the first conversation with Lilya, I realized - she sees. She said things that no one could know. We started working. Lilya did a cleansing, removed the negativity, did a ritual to restore the relationship. After 2 weeks, he came himself, as if he woke up. He said that he was in some kind of numbness all the time, which pulled him away. Now we are together, we have turned a new page. And I know - if it were not for Lilya, I would not have written this review with a smile on my face. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
After my husband cheated on me, I didn't know how to move on. My soul was broken, my heart in tatters. I lost faith in myself and in love. I turned to Lilia, even though I hadn't previously believed in magic or clairvoyants. But from the very first words, I felt that she understood me and truly wanted to help. She said there was still a connection between us and recommended several rituals. My husband returned three weeks later—he came with flowers and tears in his eyes. Now we're seeing a family psychologist, working on our relationship. But all of this was only possible thanks to Lilia. She was the first to say, "You're not alone." I thank her from the bottom of my heart! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
Lilia is a truly bright person! I turned to her during the most difficult time: my husband left me for another woman, and I was on the verge of despair. Lilia conducted a diagnosis and said we could be brought back together. I followed her recommendations, and the result exceeded all expectations—my husband came to me himself, repented, and asked for forgiveness. Now we are restoring our relationship, and I feel like a happy wife. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
