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

When my boyfriend suddenly and without explanation broke up with me, I felt like I couldn't bear it. It was a huge blow; I was devastated, lost, and unsure how to move on. My tears wouldn't dry, and my heart ached with pain. But a clue as to how to fix everything unexpectedly came to me. During a layover at Frankfurt Airport on a flight to Warsaw, when I decided to visit my parents for a little distraction, I struck up a conversation with a woman on the same flight. Seeing how I was suffering, she treated me with compassion and offered moral support. She shared various curious incidents and experiences from her life and recommended that I consult the clairvoyant magician Zakhar about my situation. I decided to give it a try and wrote down his phone number. I can confidently say it was the right decision. Zakhar proved himself to be an exceptionally powerful clairvoyant, capable of deeply understanding situations and finding solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. Thanks to his help and magical practice, my boyfriend returned to me after some time. More importantly, he proposed to me. We are happily married.

I turned to Marfa when I no longer knew where to turn. My husband had left me for another woman, and there was emptiness and pain at home. But the most amazing thing was that Marfa didn't even let me explain anything. She immediately said, "I see my rival standing next to me, I see how your path is blocked..." I got goosebumps because everything was exactly as she described! She explained exactly what happened, why he changed, and what I needed to do to get it all back. She didn't ask any questions; she saw everything herself, as if she were reading my soul. After the ritual, he wrote to me just a few days later. Now we're back together, and I thank Marfa every day for helping me bring love and warmth back into our home. She truly sees everything and helps from the heart.
