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.

Thanks to Alexander for his help. I highly recommend him.
I'll leave the number of the magician Alexander: +38097172179 (you can message or call him on Viber and WhatsApp). He helped my son escape a toxic, destructive relationship. It so happened that at one point, my son got into an unhealthy relationship with a cunning and wily woman. She did nothing but manipulate him, swindle him out of his money, and acted like a little angel. My son lost his sense of purpose. Because of her, his career began to deteriorate, he developed bad habits, and his health began to deteriorate. From a young and promising man, he turned to a demotivated man, controlled by a cunning woman. Heart-to-heart talks didn't help. My son refused to hear that anything was wrong with him. Ultimately, my husband and I, as parents, were forced to turn to practitioners. We consulted fortune tellers, tarot readers, and sorcerers. But I was impressed by the clairvoyant magician Alexander. We didn't even have to tell him anything. He saw the problem himself, explained it all in detail, and suggested possible courses of action. My son didn't even have to be told anything about it—Alexander carried out the work without him being present. And it was practically a miracle. It was as if a veil had been lifted from my son's eyes. He took on the work, let go of his old self, and found a good girl with whom he started a family. My husband and I are now happy grandparents. Thank you, Alexander, for helping us. I recommend him.
Fortune telling that changed my life - personal review
Good day to all! I want to leave a review about the woman I contacted about love problems. I was on the verge of despair. She did a Tarot reading, told me everything based on the facts. Then she performed a ritual to restore relations — and the result was not long in coming! It is pleasant to talk to her, everything is to the point, without "water". I highly recommend!

If you've lost everything, don't give up. Turn to Matrona.
I never thought I would write something like this. Men aren't supposed to cry, to talk about their feelings... But I sobbed. Like a child. Because I lost the most precious thing: my family. My wife, my children, my home, my warmth, my meaning in life. I destroyed it all with my own hands. I fell in love with another woman. I thought it was love. But it turned out to be emptiness. A lie, an illusion. My wife didn't forgive me. She left. She took the children. I was left alone, in silence, full of guilt. I gave up. I tried to get her back, but she didn't even want to talk to me. I ruined everything. And then I decided to take a desperate step... I wrote to Matrona. I found her on the internet and at first I was even ashamed to admit why I was writing. And she listened. Without reproaches, without ridicule. She simply said: If you are ready to fight... I will help. She worked with me, with my energies, with my soul. It was as if she opened my eyes. I began to truly change. Not in words, but in thoughts, in actions. I began to pray. I waited, I believed. And a miracle happened. My wife responded to my message for the first time. Then we met. She said she felt that I had become different. It was as if an invisible force had pushed aside the wall between us. Two months later, she returned home. With children. With tears. With love. Matrona, you saved my family. You saved me. I don’t know how to thank you. I just pray for you every night and tell others, if you have lost everything, don’t give up. Turn to her. As long as your heart beats, it’s not too late. Her number is +380630228999 Viber/WhatsApp
I came across this person when I was in despair. Problems with my personal life, with friends and with my health in general. But this clairvoyant simply saved me. She told me exactly what was happening in my life, predicted how events would develop and what needed to be done to get everything back into place. Removed negativity, removed illnesses and even helped to return the relationship! Now I feel on top. Very grateful for the help! Call her if you need something important clarified: +16463779379.
