The History of Brighton Beach, New York

"I lived in a place in Brooklyn called Brighton Beach. A lot of you will be familiar with the area because according to my kid anyway, it's a place you start off in the video game GTA 4." "Brighton Beach is more commonly known as these days are Little Odessa or Little Russia," he says. Russian speaking people have been flocking there since the 1970s but after the collapse of the Soviet Union that level of immigration went through the roof.
