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

If you don't see the point now, if you cry at night and don't know how to live on - just read this. Until recently, I had a family, children, a loved one... And then everything fell apart. I fell ill... in body and soul. I didn't sleep, I didn't eat, I was just slowly fading away. And then he left. Quietly. Without explanation. All that remained was emptiness and silence. And the children, who looked at me and didn't understand why Mom wasn't smiling anymore. I thought I wouldn't survive. But one day, I was given Lily's contact information, which helped. I called, almost in disbelief, simply out of hopelessness... And that was the beginning of my comeback. She didn't judge. She didn't promise miracles. She simply helped. Slowly, piece by piece, I began to put myself back together. Strength returned. I began to sleep. The fear went away. Then something happened that I no longer believed in. He came back. He said it was as if he had "seen the light." But even if I hadn't come back, I was already living again. I'm writing this for you, if you're feeling broken-hearted and empty-eyed right now. Please, don't give up. Help is out there. You're not alone. And you will definitely rise again. I don't know how, but it works for Lily, too.

After her consultation, my life completely changed. My husband and I hadn't spoken for almost six months, and I no longer believed it was possible to bring everything back. She looked at the photos and told me everything as it was—down to the last detail! She performed the ritual, and within a week, my husband wrote to me and started looking for a meeting. Now we're back together, as if we've fallen in love all over again. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, you saved my family! I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
Political Mathematics, Youth Protest, and Our Lessons
Political Mathematics, Youth Protest, and Our Lessons No one expected it, but it happened, and starting January 1st, we'll have Zohran Mamdani as our mayor. Just a year ago, even the residents of Queens couldn't have imagined that Zohran Mamdani would soon become mayor of New York City. Marina Lagunova
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
