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.

Review of a clairvoyant and tarot reader - she helped me get my loved one back and remove negativity

I'd like to share my story and recommend a very good clairvoyant and tarot reader. She helped me a lot when I was deeply depressed due to problems in my personal life. She reads with great accuracy and insight, immediately identifies the root causes of difficulties, removes negativity, and even helps overcome emotional illnesses. I turned to her when I thought all was lost—my loved one had left, and I didn't know what to do. She performed a diagnosis, gave clear recommendations, performed rituals to bring my loved one back, and after a while, the situation began to improve. She also predicts the future—everything has come true for me! I'm very grateful for her support and assistance. If anyone is looking for real help, here's her number: +1 646 377 9379.

I give thanks every day

My husband left after 10 years of marriage. He simply packed his things and said it was over. I was in shock. My thoughts were the darkest. I looked for help and found Lilia. I cried during our first conversation; it was as if she looked into my soul. She told me that my husband and I had a strong connection, but someone had interfered. She performed rituals to restore our relationship, bringing back love and trust. Now we are together again. Thank you, Lilia. I am grateful every day for finding each other!

"We are a family again"

My husband left after 7 years of marriage. Without explanation. Said: "I'm tired." I went through hell. Didn't eat, didn't sleep, didn't want to live... I saw Lily's video on TikTok. She spoke simply, but it was as if she looked into my eyes... I wrote. She responded immediately. A week later, my husband came back. He asked to start from scratch. Now we are together. We laugh. We hug. He says: "I realized how much I need you." If it weren't for Lily, I would have been alone. Thank you, Lily, for giving us - women - hope.

CLAIRVOYANT LILY +19297133433

When the soul finds no peace, when the heart is gripped by anxiety and pain, it's a sign that you need to seek answers. Clairvoyant Lilia helps where reason is powerless and where hope fades with each passing day. Through Tarot cards and the energy of photography, I see the truth that cannot be hidden. Even an old photograph bears the imprint of fate—from it, I can tell what's happening to a person, whether they're alive, whether they love you, whether they remember you, what they're feeling, and what intentions they're hiding. I sense lies, betrayal, estrangement, rivalry, deception—and I can reveal the truth to you, no matter how difficult it may be. If there's a wall of silence between you, if you feel your strength ebbing and your life losing meaning, I will help restore harmony. I will determine whether there is a curse, hex, love spell, or hex, who cast it, and when, and I will cleanse you—removing negativity, restoring energy, aligning your chakras, and providing powerful protection. After the ritual, you'll feel lightness, calm, and a desire to live and believe again. Tarot cards don't lie—they'll show you what lies ahead: whether love is worth fighting for, whether to trust someone, what your path will be, and where the twist of fate is that could change everything. I don't promise miracles—I help create them, because I'm born with power, and through it, I bring light, hope, and love back to people. Clairvoyant Lily. Tarot reading. Photo diagnostics. Negativity removal. I'll help you regain what seemed lost forever. Contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
