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

When it seemed all was lost, Lilia didn't give up. She believed in our love, even when I didn't. Thanks to her, we are together again, and I am eternally grateful for her patience and tenderness.

I express my deep gratitude to the magician Alexander for his professionalism and effective assistance. His number is +380971792179. When I contacted him, I was living in Germany and couldn't come to an in-person meeting. I messaged him on WhatsApp. Alexander understood my situation – he consulted with me and performed the work remotely. This was no problem for him. He is a compassionate and kind person. A true clairvoyant and a powerful practitioner with a gift from a Higher Power. Even talking to him makes you feel better. The work he does is very effective. I literally felt it even from a distance. But most importantly, his abilities helped me solve a number of problems and bring my husband back. I recommend the magician Alexander to anyone seeking qualified and effective help.
I cried. I humiliated myself. I held on to him like air. And he looked at me coldly and left for another... Lilya became my last hope. I didn't know if she would help - I just wrote at night, not expecting an answer. But she answered. And she said: "He will come back. Just trust him." Four days later he came. He sat on the floor by the door and cried like a child. He said: "You are my family. I can't live without you." I thought this couldn't happen. Lilya - you are not just a person. You are a miracle. You are an angel. Thank you for my happiness. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
I never thought this would happen to me. My husband and I had been together for ten years, and then, out of the blue, he just left. Without a fight, without warning, he simply vanished from our lives. He didn't answer my calls, blocked me everywhere, and I learned of the divorce from his lawyer. My heart was broken. I went to every fortune teller, every healer, even a famous witch. No one could really understand what had happened. They just shook their heads and said there was no solution, or that their understanding of the situation was completely unclear. I was in despair until I accidentally stumbled upon the contact information of the magician Alexander. I messaged him on Viber at +380971792179, almost without hope for a miracle. But during the diagnosis, something happened that shocked me to the core. He didn't ask anything, nothing at all! He described our entire situation himself, telling us what happened and when, even naming the person who, it turned out, "advised" my husband to leave. It wasn't just fortune-telling; it was pure clairvoyance. Alexander saw everything, as if he were watching a recording of the events. After the diagnosis, I immediately asked for the work to be done. And then something incredible happened. I thought it would take a long time, but two weeks later, my husband messaged me. He wanted to meet. When he came, it was clear he himself didn't understand what was happening to him. He couldn't explain why he had done what he had done. Gradually, everything got better. We are back together, and our family has become stronger than ever. Alexander gave me my husband and my normal life back—I will be eternally grateful to him. I highly recommend him.
