As a Russian-speaking immigrant from Virginia, I saw Brighton Beach 20 years ago and fell in love with it. Restaurants, shops with fashionable clothes, grocery stores where shelves of delicacies were crammed, a store of Russian books ... I liked that Russian, Jewish, Odessa culture could coexist together in parallel with the American one. Brighton was not just a street, it was a way of life. Unfortunately, 20 years later, today, I see the need for cardinal changes that are vital for the Russian-speaking community. The current political atmosphere in New York threatens the existence of a unique Russian-speaking community! Five months have passed since the election of the President of the United States and new members of Congress, and the controversy and debate around them has not subsided to this day. Nevertheless, time flies quickly, and new elections are coming soon, this time local. Primary or internal party, which will take place on June 22, the first Tuesday in November. Surely after last year's events, which divided the country into two irreconcilable camps, many local “showdowns” will not arouse much interest. “After all, in November 2020, it was decided which path the country would take, and the fate of the entire world community is largely determined in the White House,” they will say, “and how can those elections be compared in importance with the elections of the mayor of New York and the City Council? " But they will be wrong in many ways. Decisions made in Washington, other than those related to the process of vaccination of the population, do not have a big impact on our life, and their consequences will affect the future and will become the subject of discussions for historians, political scientists and economists of the next generations. But decisions made at the local level will immediately affect the quality of life of our Russian-speaking community, our safety, and the education of our children. And as it became clear to you, every election separates us, and if we put feelings and ambitions aside, we need to unite in order to save the Russian-speaking community and not waste time. Living in an orphanage for 15 years taught me a lot, including understanding the importance of political and economic unification. By uniting, we will achieve more. Unification will save the Russian-speaking community and it doesn't matter if we were born in Moscow, Baku, Odessa or Kharkov. We are a strong, unique, educated community. No one saw, before the arrival of Russians in America, such shops, Russian newspapers, musicians, artists, but now Brighton and the Russian-speaking community have changed dramatically. We need to go back to when we demanded from the politicians what we need. If we do not demand from our servants of the people to defend our interests, we will be lost. We need to preserve Brighton and our culture. Over the past 20 years, the Russian-speaking community has become divided. We need to save our culture, we need to return Russian concerts, theaters, exhibitions, Russian press, Russian business ... For example, for many Russian speaking families will become key questions whether to stay in New York or move to another state. Last 13 months 1912 Russian-speaking families left New York for Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. This trend will continue if we do not take the necessary and difficult measures to change our political position. We MUST become politically ACTIVE! We do not have much influence at the national level, but at the local level - we are strong! Local elections carry much more weight than national elections! Now someone must fight for Brighton. If we and our chosen ones do not stand up to the city, we will no longer be able to live as before. Political and economic forces must support each other. In our state, two political parties are doing everything possible to weaken the influence of the Russian-speaking community! They select candidates for local elections who will show no interest in promoting the Russian-speaking community. Charitable organizations Odessa Community of New York, New York Association of Ghetto and Concentration Camp Prisoners, Holocaust Survivors Charity, etc., the Russian-speaking press should receive grants for further charitable activities for the benefit of the Russian-speaking community. Politicians from both sides divided the community, and this plays into the hands of politicians, not the community. If Russian-speaking residents do not stop this and unite, then the Russian-speaking community will leave, and we will lose the uniqueness that existed from the first to the last wave of Russian-speaking immigration, which made our community unique. An educated, intelligent, cultured community will disappear. Who should unite the Russian-speaking community? This should be decided by the community itself.

I never thought I'd be in this state. When my loved one left, it was like I was cut off from life. I'd wake up with a lump in my throat. I'd lie down and the silence would be so oppressive I wanted to scream. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I just lived on autopilot. The world turned gray, as if someone had taken all the warmth from it. And then, in this state, I accidentally came across a review about a woman who helps people get out of such pits. I read and cried. And I decided to write to her, although one thing was in my head... Why? It's all over already... She asked for a photo and literally from the first words said something that sent a chill down my spine. Such things are not made up, not guessed. I sat with my phone in my hands and simply couldn't believe that someone truly heard me. I asked her for help, because inside me there was only fear and a broken heart. She said that I was not alone. And that there was a chance. And... something happened that I no longer expected. After a while, he wrote himself. He called himself. His voice was shaking... mine too. And when he stood at the door of my house, I didn’t believe that this was all not a dream. It was like coming back to life. As if I was pulled by the hand from the depths where I had already stopped fighting. I don’t know how to explain everything that happened. But I know for sure: this man became my salvation at that moment, when the world around me collapsed, and I had no more strength.

Lily is my savior and sorceress who brought back my lost love!
I didn't believe in magic. I used to think such things were just fiction and delusions. But when I found myself on the brink of despair and lost the man of my dreams, I had no choice. He left. Just left, leaving me with a broken heart and the feeling that my whole life had lost its meaning. I tried to fight, to fix everything I could, but nothing worked. And at some point, I just gave up. Then I found out about Lilia. At first, I even doubted it, but a gut feeling told me this was my last chance. I decided to give it a try, and it was the right decision. When I first talked to Lilia, I felt such incredible warmth and support that even the tears weren't from pain, but from the fact that I was finally understood. She immediately "saw" the whole situation. Not only what was happening with my man, but also my own mistakes, my fears, my doubts. She accurately identified the blocks that were preventing him and me from being happy, and offered not just a path to restoring our relationship, but a transformation of me as a person. Lilia didn't promise miracles. She said I needed to work on myself. But her words were so confident and warm that I believed anything was possible. She set me on a path of self-discovery, taught me to let go of the past, overcome my fears, and become more self-assured. And a month later, when I had almost forgotten how painful it had been, he came. The very man I once thought lost forever returned to my life. He said, "You've changed. You've become different, and I want to be with you too." These were the most important words in my life, and I know that without Lilia, this would not have happened. I am forever grateful to her for what she did for me. She gave me back not only a man, but also my own strength. I once again felt worthy of happiness, and that love isn't magic, but a force that lies within us. Lilia is more than just a clairvoyant. She is a woman with a deep understanding of life and a huge heart. I recommend her to anyone who has lost hope. She will restore not only your love, but also your faith in yourself. Thank you, Lilia, for being there, for your support, and for your miracle! Her contact information is: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
I want to share my experience. I consulted a clairvoyant and tarot reader, and I am still impressed. Very accurate fortune telling, without unnecessary words - she immediately saw my situation and told me what I had not told anyone. She helped me return a relationship that I considered already lost. I also did a ritual for purification - I felt relief almost immediately. I recommend her wholeheartedly. Here is her number, maybe someone will find it useful: +1 (646) 377-9379
I cried. I humiliated myself. I held on to him like air. And he looked at me coldly and left for another... Lilya became my last hope. I didn't know if she would help - I just wrote at night, not expecting an answer. But she answered. And she said: "He will come back. Just trust him." Four days later he came. He sat on the floor by the door and cried like a child. He said: "You are my family. I can't live without you." I thought this couldn't happen. Lilya - you are not just a person. You are a miracle. You are an angel. Thank you for my happiness. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
