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

But her words, attention, and advice seemed to bring light back into my life. With each passing day, I noticed how everything was beginning to change: we became closer, we began to feel each other. Today, love, respect, and harmony reign in our family once again. Lilia, thank you for everything! I'm giving her contact information at +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber). +19297133433
Lilia is a truly bright person! I turned to her during the most difficult time: my husband left me for another woman, and I was on the verge of despair. Lilia conducted a diagnosis and said we could be brought back together. I followed her recommendations, and the result exceeded all expectations—my husband came to me himself, repented, and asked for forgiveness. Now we are restoring our relationship, and I feel like a happy wife. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
My husband and I have been together for 15 years, but in the last two years everything went downhill: constant quarrels, coldness, misunderstanding. I thought it was all a divorce. A friend advised me to contact the clairvoyant Lilia. Honestly, I didn’t really believe her, but I decided to try. Lilia immediately saw the root of the problem, said that there was negativity on our family, and suggested performing a cleansing ritual. After just a couple of weeks, my relationship with my husband began to change. Now it’s as if we’ve fallen in love with each other all over again. Thank you, Lilia, for giving me my family back!

Varya, thank you. You lifted me out of the darkness I was afraid I'd forever belong to. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
I thought I died the day my husband left. For seven months I existed, but didn't live... an empty house, an empty bed, an empty soul. I cried so much that my voice was gone. I was silent so much that my heart screamed. Everything was crumbling. When I came to the molfarka VARYA, I was broken. I didn't believe in myself, or in love, or in miracles. Varya simply put her hand on mine and said quietly: You will still see the light. I didn't believe it... but I grabbed onto her words like a drowning man grabs the air. And suddenly everything began to change. First inside me. Then around me. And then... after seven long months of silence, he knocked on the door. My husband. He stood there with red eyes and said: Forgive me. I want to go home. I fell on his chest and cried like I'd never cried in my life. This was the return of not just a man, this was the return of my destiny. Varya, thank you. You lifted me out of the darkness to which I was already afraid to belong forever.
