Singer Larisa Dolina turned to the buyer of her apartment, Polina Lurie, with a request to let her live there for a few more months. The businesswoman’s lawyer, Svetlana Sviridenko, told RIA Novosti about this.
According to her, Dolina explained this request by saying that she did not have time to pack her things. RBC writes that she asked to postpone her eviction until March 1.
Sviridenko later reported that Lurie did not intend to allow Dolina to stay in the apartment after her eviction.
“My trustee bought an apartment a year and a half ago in order to live in it with her children,” TASS quotes her.
Updated 1:30 p.m. In a commentary to RBC, the singer’s lawyer, Maria Pukhova, refutes this request:
“We haven’t talked about several months at all, this is the first time I’ve heard about it. Yesterday, they actually sent a draft settlement agreement to that party, in which they offered to evict before January 10, 2026! ”, the publication quotes her.
A hearing has been scheduled for December 25 in the Moscow City Court on Lurie’s claim for forced eviction by Dolina. Last week, the Supreme Court sent the Dolina-Lurie case back for a new trial. The ownership of Dolina's apartment was recognized by its buyer, Polina Lurie, but until the decision of the court of second instance, the singer has the right to live in the apartment.
Last year, Larisa Dolina sold an apartment in Khamovniki for 112 million rubles to 34-year-old businesswoman Lurie. But then she refused to give the keys to the new owner, saying that she had fallen for a telephone scam scheme. The singer filed a lawsuit with the Khamovnichesky Court to declare the deal invalid.
The court of first instance in March of this year sided with the artist, recognizing the deal as concluded in error and returning the property to her. Lurie was refused to evict Dolina and did not oblige the singer to return 112 million rubles - the court decided that the buyer could recover the money from the scammers. The story is called the “Valley effect” - when the seller, after receiving the money, disputes the transaction, citing scammers. According to various sources, in 2025, over three thousand real estate transactions were challenged using this scheme.
