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

He left. I was left alone. And only Lilia said: This is not the end.
Everyone said, "Let it go. Forget it." But my heart ached. When I came to Lilia, I was broken. She saw that there was still a connection between us. And she helped me restore it. I worked on myself. On my energy, on my state. Lilia led me step by step. After two months, he called. After three, he came back. Now we are together again, as if everything was all over again. Only stronger. I don’t know how you do it, Lilia. But you brought my love back. And that is priceless. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
The help of the magician Alexander proved invaluable to me. One day, without realizing it, I encountered a serious problem. I spotted a scrap of fabric or woven knitting thread on my doorstep, resembling a crocheted doll. I didn't pay it much attention. Without looking closely, I instinctively kicked it and tossed it aside. Now I realize it was completely thoughtless. But nevertheless. Soon after, inexplicable and extremely unpleasant events began to occur in my life. In various areas. From minor everyday problems to serious difficulties at work and a general decline in health. I'd lose my keys, my car would stall at the most inopportune moment, and then a whole series of escalating misfortunes followed. And then there was constant fatigue and apathy. It was clear something was wrong, but what exactly wasn't obvious. Attempts to find a logical explanation for what was happening or to solve the problems using traditional methods were fruitless. Neither doctors nor psychologists had any significant impact on the situation. So, I didn't think twice when I came across Alexander's contact information. He was recommended to me as a clairvoyant with abilities—he'd gotten a friend's wife back quickly. So, I messaged Alexander on WhatsApp and arranged a consultation. During our conversation, he described with astonishing accuracy the incident with the lining on my doorstep that I'd kicked. I'd never told anyone about it and had completely forgotten about it. The puzzle fell into place instantly. The diagnosis of the curse was undeniable. So, I literally begged Alexander to take me on and cleanse me of this evil. Alexander agreed and said I'd need to perform several rituals and, as I recall, energy cleansings. Day after day, I literally felt this weight lift, this black cloud that had been hanging over me. Life began to improve. And surprisingly, it didn't just return to normal; it became much easier. I've started feeling more empowered and energized more often, things are going well at work, and my relationships with loved ones have improved. I'm incredibly grateful to Alexander. He saved me and gave me my life back. Don't hesitate to contact him if you need advice or help. Alexander's number is +380971792179.
I turned to Lilia during a difficult time, when my relationship with my husband was literally hanging by a thread. We lived next to each other, but it was as if we were in different worlds. After talking with Lilia, I felt like I was awakening: I realized I needed to change how I spoke, how I listened. Gradually, the tension eased, and warmth returned to the house. Now we are a real family again. I am incredibly grateful to Lilia for her support. Overall, I highly recommend Lilia... +380638055486 +19297133433
