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

Martha became the person who helped me rise up, believe in myself and get back what was most important to me.
When I came to Marfa, I was completely devastated. My husband had left me for his mistress, my life had fallen apart, and I was beside myself. But the most amazing thing was, I barely had to explain anything. Marfa looked at me, and I felt like she could see everything: my pain, my confusion, my fear, even what I was trying to hide from myself. She spoke so clearly, as if she were peering deep into my soul. And when she suggested performing her rituals, I felt hope for the first time in a long time. I don't know how it works, but I trusted her completely. After her work, something inside me seemed to change: I became calmer, more confident, I stopped rushing around and falling into that panic that only destroyed everything around me. And it seemed to me that the very atmosphere in the house was changing along with this... And then came what I had almost stopped believing: my husband returned. On his own, without pressure, without scandals, with remorse and a desire to return everything. We talked for a long time, opened up to each other, and gradually managed to restore our family. I can't explain how it happened. But I truly believe that thanks to Marfa's rituals and the tremendous support she gave me, everything happened. Marfa became the person who helped me rise up, believe in myself, and reclaim what was most important to me. And for this, I am grateful to her with all my heart. I will leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
