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

For a large art project, I'll buy old one-cent coins. At a 1:3 ratio (I pay 3 cents for one copper cent). At the bank, they'll change it 1:1. I need about 11,000-12,000 pieces. Only old copper cents. I'll pay in cash.
I am very surprised by her strength and professionalism, she is a person with a capital letter!!!
Hey guys, I want to tell you my story and thank the person who helped me and my family! Seven months ago, my husband suddenly started changing, beyond recognition. Friends and family were surprised what was happening to him. I started withdrawing from me, and the children began to irritate him! As a result, he left us and blocked me. I was in tears and started calling every magician and fortune teller I could get help. But everything was to no avail... Until I found Bella, a very nice girl and a very good magician. I had a diagnosis from her and was amazed by her words, everything she said was so spot on, describing people's names and situations. What I realized was that she would definitely help me. I did everything she told me, strictly according to her instructions. And within the time frame she said, she brought my husband back to the family, the same man he used to be. I am very amazed by her strength and professionalism, she is a real Person!!! +380634300493 Bella Telegram. Thank you, dear, for everything you have done for me and my loved ones.
Every night I fell asleep thinking: “Why did he leave?
Every night I fell asleep thinking, "Why did he leave? Why am I alone?" Lilia performed a cleansing ritual, and I physically felt the weight lift, like a stone had been lifted from my chest. And then my husband started texting... then visiting... and then saying he wanted to come back. I'm sure it was Lilia's rituals that pieced together what I thought was broken forever. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)

I thank Varya from the bottom of my heart. She didn't just help me—she saved the most precious thing I had.
When my life was falling apart and my heart was breaking with pain and despair, I came to Varya, the molfarka, as my last hope. The world around me seemed to have gone dark, my wife had become distant, our house was empty. It seemed as if love was gone forever. Varya greeted me calmly, with that quiet strength that can be felt even in silence. She stared for a long time into the crackling fire in her hut, as if she saw something I couldn't comprehend. With her first words, peace entered me, and with the first rituals, a feeling that everything could still be restored. Several days passed, and it was as if fate itself had turned its face. My wife suddenly began to seek communication, open up, and remember the good times. A thread of warmth reappeared between us, and soon, true intimacy. The shadows of the past dissipated, and the connection we had once lost was reborn stronger, purer, more honest. I still can't explain how it happened. But it was after meeting Varya that my family found a second life. Her wisdom, strength, and ability to listen to a person's soul made the impossible possible. I thank Varya from the bottom of my heart. She didn't just help—she saved what was most precious to me. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
