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 turned to clairvoyant Lilia at a time when it seemed like our relationship was finally falling apart. There was too much unspoken communication, resentment, and silence in the house. I didn't know how to restore the warmth that once existed between us. Lilia helped me look at the situation differently—understand my feelings, listen to my partner, and stop fighting when gentleness was needed. After her consultation, I began to change my attitude, and it was as if the atmosphere in our family gradually began to change. We began talking more, listening more attentively, looking for compromises rather than reasons to argue. Today, I feel that love is returning to our home. We spend time together again, laugh, and make plans. I am grateful to Lilia for her support and advice, which helped me strengthen our relationship and restore harmony. Her phone number is +380638055486, she also has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.

When my husband left me for his mistress, my life became a living hell. I woke up crying and fell asleep with an emptiness inside. It seemed like I'd never get up again... there was too much pain, humiliation, and loneliness. And then Marfa came into my life. She was the only person who heard my cry, who didn't turn away when I stood on the very edge. She helped me pull myself out of the darkness, gave me the strength to live day after day, not to give up, not to dissolve in despair. And one day, something I didn't dare believe happened... my husband returned. Himself, with tears and remorse. And most importantly, Marfa helped me regain myself, my soul, my breath. If it weren't for her, I simply wouldn't have survived. Thank you, Marfa, for lifting me from my knees and bringing me back to life. I'll leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
I turned to Lilia not for myself, but for my daughter.
I contacted Lilia not for myself, but for my daughter. Her husband had left the family, leaving behind a child and a broken heart. We were devastated. Lilia listened attentively, did her work, and within two weeks, amazing changes began to occur. Now they are back together, and my husband seems to have seen the light. As a mother, I am endlessly grateful to Lilia for bringing peace and joy back to our family! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
