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'll be honest—I didn't believe in clairvoyants. But when 20 years of marriage are crumbling before your eyes, you cling to any hope. Lilia helped me understand that we were being negatively impacted by energy, and she cleansed and protected me. Within a week, our relationship had softened, and a month later, my husband himself suggested we go on vacation together. Now we have a family again, warmth, and understanding. My deepest respects to her! I'm writing her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
When my husband left, I simply stopped breathing. The house was empty, and every morning began with tears. Lilia became my last hope. She said she would perform a powerful ritual to unite our hearts. That evening, I cried as if I was pouring out all my pain. And three days later, my husband himself called and said he felt a pull back home... I still don't know how it works, but after Lilia's rituals, my family came back to life. And I, along with her. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
