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

Lilia is a true professional and a very kind person!
I was very skeptical of clairvoyants, but when my husband left, despair forced me to turn to Lilia. And I haven't regretted it! She saw problems in our relationship that I couldn't understand. Thanks to her advice and rituals, my husband returned home, and we began to rebuild our relationship. Lilia is a true professional and a very kind person! I'm writing to her on Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and her regular number (+19297133433).
Thank you, dear Lilia, for your kind heart, strength and real help.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to clairvoyant Lilia for her help and support during the most difficult period of my life. When it seemed that the family was falling apart and there was no hope left, it was Lilia who helped bring harmony and love back into our relationship. My husband left the family, but after the ritual and her wise advice, everything began to change for the better. Lilia works very subtly, with soul and attention. She immediately sensed the root of the problem, explained what needed to be done, and supported me at every stage. Now peace, love, and mutual understanding reign in our home again, and my relationship with my husband has become even stronger than before. Thank you, dear Lilia, for your kind heart, strength, and genuine help. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
When it seemed that everything was falling apart, and our family was standing on the edge of the river, I ran to Varya’s molfarka... Then I didn’t know where to go, who to trust, what to fight for. A house that once filled with laughter and warmth became cold and empty. Lyubov has gone. The man moved away, the children sensed this tension, and I... I just stopped being myself. With hope and hope, I found Varya. I didn’t know what to look for, but my soul was calling... And she sensed me. She didn’t count on miracles... but she did it, she saw our whites like no one else. After I first grew up, it became easier for me to die. These words, this energy, these rituals... everything became a thing for us. She worked with us as carefully as with a wounded bird. And the guts all began to change. The man began to marvel at me again with warmth in his eyes. The children stopped crying at night. And I... I turned to myself. We began to speak, to hear, to forgive. Varya is not just a molfarka, there is a woman in whose hands the light lives. table.Dyakuyu, dear Varya, for those who you were with us then, if you didn’t believe anyone else. Let your kindness and strength return to you a thousand times. Number +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
