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.

I reached out to many people, but only Lilia truly helped. From our very first conversation, I felt like I was dealing with more than just a gifted person, but a woman with a big heart. She saw everything without words: the reason for the breakup and my pain. Thanks to her help, prayers, and energy work, my husband not only returned but also became a different person—attentive and caring.

I'm writing this with trembling hands... I still can't believe that he's here, sleeping next to me, hugging me at night, and not her. My husband left... Not just left... he was taken from his job by a woman with no shame or conscience. I felt him slipping away: the coldness in his eyes, the distance, the lies. He left without looking back. He left me with a child, with empty walls and a broken heart. We were together for 13 years... 13 years of love, pain, joy. And then it all collapsed in an instant. I was dying inside. No one understood how much pain it was. My friends said, "Forget it." But I couldn't. My soul was breaking. He was mine. I knew it. In my heart. In despair, I found reviews of Matushka Raisa on Google. I wrote to her in tears. I don't remember what I wrote... everything was like a fog. She answered very calmly: Don't cry, girl. He's not hers. His soul is still with you. We'll bring him back. But believe. She saw everything: the rival, the husband's weakness, and my feelings, as if in the palm of your hand. She performed the ritual. She said: Give it three days. And don't doubt. On the second day, he called. He spoke quietly, as if ashamed. He said that he felt like he'd woken up. That he couldn't breathe without me. On the third day, he stood on the threshold. With flowers. With eyes full of remorse. He said: Forgive me. I don't know what came over me. I want to go home. We are together again. But now every evening I pray and thank Mother Raisa. For hearing me. For protecting my family. This is not just help. This is a miracle. If you're in despair and don't know where to turn, go to her. Mother Raisa is a light in the darkest darkness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help! Her number is +38099-292-71-82 on Viber.

Lilya gave me hope - and I feel alive again.

When I came to Lilya, I was completely broken. My husband had left home almost a month ago, and I had already stopped believing that anything could change. Lilya didn't judge or pressure me—she simply listened to me so attentively that for the first time in a long time, I stopped crying. She said that everything could still be fixed if I could regain peace in my heart. A few days after our conversation, my husband himself wrote to me and asked to meet. We talked until the morning, and he admitted that all this time he had felt a strange desire to come back, "as if someone had helped him see everything differently." Now we are back together, learning to cherish each other. Lilya gave me hope—and I feel alive again.
