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

Ladies, I'm writing for those of you whose home life has become a living hell. My husband, children, and I moved into a new apartment, and it was like a different person—constant arguments for no apparent reason, the kids became cranky and slept poorly, my husband started working late, and our relationship became completely frosty. I realized the apartment had heavy energy, or someone was deeply jealous. I consulted the light healer Tatyana on a colleague's recommendation. Tatyana read our Tarot cards and confirmed that the previous tenants had left a lot of negativity, plus a strong evil eye had been cast on us as a couple. Tatyana performed a powerful house cleansing with prayers and rolled an egg across our entire family to remove pent-up anger and envy. And to cement the results, she made a special Slavic amulet doll for our home to protect the family and attract prosperity. Ladies, the atmosphere in our family changed instantly! The house has become cozy, the children sleep peacefully all night, and my husband and I have regained our former tenderness and understanding. Tatyana is very strong and helps with many problems. Save her phone number: 0984558444.
