In some regions of America, after the start of the war in Ukraine, cases of Russophobia have become more frequent. Russian speech is reacted aggressively, if not harming Russians or their businesses. The other day, unknown persons attacked the medical office of the Russian-speaking physiotherapist Victoria Brenner, who is located in Brooklyn. This is stated in the project of journalist Denis Cheredov "New York Attendant".

After the start of the war in Ukraine, Victoria placed a commercial in the Russian-language media in New York about her medical services. And everything would be fine, but the Russian singer Prokhor Chaliapin participated in the advertisement. The musician currently supports Russia's actions in Ukraine, stating that "there is no war." Because of this, the doctor began to be insulted and called with threats.

However, according to the woman, the video was filmed 5 years ago. Then, during a tour of America, Prokhor got acquainted with all the procedures of the medical center and was satisfied. Victoria assures that she had no idea about the latest statements of the Russian musician, because she herself is a native of Ukraine, was born in Zhitomir, and graduated from a medical institute in Vinnitsa.

“For about 30 years, we have been serving the entire Russian-speaking population of New York. We have patients from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Moldova, Ukraine. I watch with tears in my eyes the destruction of my beloved cities. And people called us and started accusing us of supporting this war, that Prokhor Chaliapin was killing our children. That I'm on this side It touched me to the core, ”the woman admitted.

Victoria and her husband, a gynecologist, are threatened to “glorify them throughout the country so that they cannot live and work here.” Phone calls were not limited. Later, someone threw a stone and smashed the door in the office, it had to be replaced.

“I haven't been able to sleep well for the past week. They could not even imagine that this could happen. We help Ukraine as best we can: we send medicines, clothes, transfer money to various funds. We are doctors of the highest category, so we help people all our lives, ”the doctor admits.

She considers aggression against her completely inappropriate. Naturally, after the incident, the ill-fated commercial was removed from rotation. And the victim turned to the police for help by writing a statement about the attack under the article “Hooliganism”. However, criminal lawyer Arkady Bukh believes that the prosecutor's office is unlikely to do anything. According to him, clients often turn to him to “squeeze” the prosecutor's office.

“Unfortunately, the police are too busy with murders and violent crimes. It is unlikely that something will be done because of hooliganism and damage to property. But if this was done on the basis that the doctor speaks Russian, then this is a more serious crime, ”the lawyer explained.

Victoria Brenner takes everything into account and in the current situation asks for only one thing - to treat each other with understanding and tolerance.

“I understand that there was COVID-19, now this horror of hostilities. But I want to urge our people to reduce the level of aggression. After all, it has a bad effect on pressure, causes headaches. We must try to somehow calm ourselves and respect the people who are nearby, regardless of what language they speak, ”the victim urged.
