The house is positioned as luxury housing. <...> Yarovaya lives there with her husband V.A. Alekseenko and children <...> An apartment of 100 meters in this house costs about 2 million dollars.

An investigation conducted by The New Times confirmed that Irina Yarovaya actually lives in this apartment, which today, according to the consulting company Welhome, costs about $2 million 898 thousand.

Housing is not indicated in any of the deputy’s declarations, however, as the magazine notes, formally Yarovaya did not violate the law. In 2006, the apartment was purchased in the name of the parliamentarian’s minor daughter. In 2007, Irina Yarovaya filed an income statement for 2006, but did not indicate this apartment in it, since at that time candidates for State Duma deputies had the right not to indicate property registered in the name of relatives. The law obliging them to declare the property of relatives came into force in 2008, but by the time the declaration for 2011 was submitted, Yarovaya’s daughter had become an adult, and the property of adult children need not be indicated in the declarations.
