There is a wonderful holiday on February 17 - the International Day of Spontaneous Kindness, which is celebrated in different countries to set an example for others and emphasize the importance of good deeds towards each other. For 4 years in a row, this significant day has been celebrated in New York at the My Way children's creativity center. The tradition was started in February 2021, when a grand online marathon was held, in which musicians, performers, artists, public and political figures from different countries took part, expressing with their participation the meaning and influence of kindness for human upbringing. During the pandemic, the President of Brooklyn and now the 110th Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, declared Kindness Day an annual event. This year, politicians came to the children to become part of the historical event, so that together they could radiate positive energy, setting an example of kindness. Also this year, N'joy Entertainment joined the Kindness Day by donating balloons to the children. Professional artists and teachers of the center also contributed. The highlight of the event was the “Tree of Kindness”, which was collected from kind words: love, smile and children's laughter. Anastasia Yaskova, Brooklyn Boro Director CAU office of the Mayor, presented the My Way center with a certificate of honor from the Mayor of the city, Eric Adams. Many years ago I saw the first children’s works and was delighted, so I carefully follow the children’s successes, look at their work on FaceBook and rejoice along with their parents: acrylic paintings, pencil drawings, incredible progress in their work is visible. I admire teacher Emin Guliyev. The works of children from the center were shown at the exhibition “Uniting people and all religions for peace on earth” in Davos at the International Economic Forum, where they were taken by teachers from the center. Also, talented children visiting the center take part in exhibitions held by the newspaper "R.Advertising". The center is headed by an excellent teacher Alena Badalova. Children dancers in national costumes always decorate any event, be it government receptions or various charity concerts. But the most important thing is that I saw how children rush and run to classes and they do not have time to simply and aimlessly waste their lives on the street. Of course, this is the merit of teachers and their parents. The Children's Art Center is trying to survive in difficult conditions and is immensely grateful for the help provided by Ari Kagan, as a member of the New York City Council, as well as the New York City Council, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, and the NYS Council on the Arts, which allows continue to teach our children culture, creativity and self-improvement. Thanks to all the kind people who help the center. Interview with President CYDC My Way by Alena Badalova recorded by Marina Lagunova

I'm still impressed by my conversation with Marfa... Six months ago, she told me things I simply couldn't believe back then. She described in detail the man I would meet: appearance, character, even profession. I listened and thought... this couldn't be happening. But time passed... and everything came true down to the smallest detail. When I saw this man, I got goosebumps. Every word Marfa said turned out to be true. This isn't just fortune-telling... it's a true gift from above. Marfa helped me not only see the future, but also cope with a difficult period in my life. After talking with her, I began to breathe easier, anxiety went away, and a feeling of calm and hope appeared. Now I turn to her with all important questions. It's as if she senses a person's soul, helps remove negativity and heal internal wounds. If you're confused, have lost faith, or want to know what awaits you in the future... be sure to write to Marfa. Such people are rare these days. Her number is +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp
Memory remains with us It's difficult to write about two creative figures known and respected in New York's Russian-speaking community and in many countries around the world. It's especially hard to believe that, almost overnight, two people whose voices echoed on radio and television for generations—Mikhail Gulko and Alexander Grant—passed away. Marina Lagunova
The Conversation That Changed Coney Island On July 19th, America celebrated a national holiday—Juneteenth, Emancipation Day. Many of us grew up abroad and didn't celebrate this day, but living in the United States, we learn to understand and respect the history of the country that became our home. Marina Lagunova
Thank you, Matrona, for saving our family and giving us a new happy life!
I still can't hold back my tears when I recall the despair I felt before meeting the clairvoyant Matrona. My family was crumbling before my eyes: my husband had left, and there were constant arguments, pain, resentment, and a feeling of utter hopelessness at home. It seemed as if happiness had left our home forever. When I was advised to turn to Matrona, I had almost lost hope. But she became the last ray of light in a dark tunnel. From the very first words, Matrona saw the entire situation as if she had lived it with me. She told me about what was happening in our family, the reasons for the discord, and the negativity that had surrounded us for many years. After her help, true miracles began to happen in our lives. My husband took a step forward, returned to the family, and gradually love, trust, and mutual understanding returned between us. The constant conflicts disappeared, and the heaviness that seemed to weigh on us every day disappeared. The house was filled with warmth, peace, and happiness. Today we live harmoniously, make plans for the future, and thank fate every day for meeting Matrona. She didn't just help me get my husband back; she gave me back my family, my faith in happiness, and my desire to live on. My deepest respects and endless gratitude to this amazing person with a big heart. If you're currently on the brink of despair, as I once was, know that there is hope. Thank you, Matrona, for saving my family and giving me a new, happy life! I'll share her number: +380630228999 (Viber/WhatsApp).
Returned my beloved and removed the curse - Maria really helps
After breaking up with my ex, I started having problems—not just in my personal life, but in my overall well-being. I was constantly having breakdowns, feeling tired, and having bad luck. I turned to Maria on her advice, and it was one of the best decisions I could have made. She immediately told me I was negatively affected—a strong evil eye had been cast on me. She did a cleansing and performed several prayer rituals. Everything was very calm, with explanations. She works only with white magic, without fear or risk. And most importantly, a few weeks later, my ex contacted me himself. We're back together, and our relationship has even gotten stronger. Maria is a very bright and strong person. I thank her from the bottom of my heart. +18473130212 Viber
