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

Our journey to healing began with Lilya. We didn’t even immediately understand what exactly she was doing, but it just became easier. The air in the house became different. Words became softer. Looks — warmer. Lilya helped us not just stay together — she helped us become better. We learned to listen to each other. To see. To feel. The closeness that we had lost long ago returned. This is a real miracle — and we will be forever grateful to her for it. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
Does Tarot Card Reading Work – My Experience (+16463779379)
I had a reading done by a clairvoyant, her phone number is +16463779379. Everything she said matched reality, even the little things about a person's character and behavior. She suggested what to do, and after a couple of weeks the situation in the relationship really changed for the better.
I'm writing because I know how difficult relationships can be. I was having serious problems in my love life, constant arguments, and a feeling of hopelessness. Daria immediately identified the root cause, explained what was holding me back, and helped me resolve the negativity. She also gave me advice on how to avoid making the situation worse. Over time, our relationship began to improve, and there was more warmth and understanding. I am very grateful to her for her help and support. Daria, WhatsApp: +1 646 377 9379.
We lived together for 11 years, but at some point, everything started to fall apart. The house was cold. Words were like glass. The children felt the tension. I didn't know how to fix it. I turned to Lilya on a tip. And it was the best solution. She saw the situation without words. She said there was negativity, arguments, resentment, and energy fatigue. She cleansed me out and gave me advice—not only spiritual but also practical. It's like my husband and I got to know each other all over again. He laughs again. I want to go home again. Lilya, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You bring me back to life. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
Martha gave me back my family and my meaning in life! I will be grateful to her for the rest of my days. I will leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
I didn't believe that anything could be fixed in my situation. It was the end... I knew it. I had ruined everything myself: I had cheated on someone else, my wife found out, packed her things, took the children, and simply disappeared from my life. All that remained was emptiness, silence, and the feeling that I was the biggest fool in the world. My friends had turned away, the walls at home were cold, and in my head there was only one thing: I had lost everything. In this state, I went to the fortune teller Marfa. Not even with hope... more out of despair. But Marfa said things that only someone with a deeper understanding could know. She didn't judge, didn't pressure, but seemed to look straight into my soul and saw not only my guilt, but also my pain, the regret that I couldn't express to anyone. She said that all was not lost, that my wife's heart was not completely closed. She performed a ritual, gave instructions on what not to do and, conversely, how to proceed. I did everything she said, even though at times it seemed pointless. And then something happened that I'm still afraid to believe. My wife got in touch herself. Then... the first conversation, the first look without hatred, the first tears. And then she came back. With the children. Returned to the house that was once ours, but for me had become an emptiness. Today I understand it was a true miracle. And if anyone says Martha doesn't help... let them first experience what I experienced. She didn't just give me back my wife. She gave me back my family, my meaning in life! I will be grateful to her for the rest of my days. I will leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
