Singer Larisa Dolina has vacated an apartment in Moscow’s Khamovniki district, which she sold for 112 million rubles to Polina Lurie. This was reported by the buyer’s lawyer.
Thus, Ms. Dolina has complied with the decision of the Moscow City Court, which ruled on December 25 to evict the singer from the apartment. The lawyer clarified that the singer has not yet handed over the apartment to Ms. Lurie—a meeting with her representative to transfer the property is scheduled for the near future.
Larisa Dolina sold the apartment to 34-year-old Polina Lurie in 2024. Later, the singer claimed she was a victim of fraud and succeeded in having the courts rule that the ownership rights should remain with her. At the same time, the courts ruled that she did not have to return the money to the buyer. The case reached the Supreme Court, which in December 2025 recognized Ms. Lurie’s ownership rights.
Details of the legal proceedings are available in the report.
Khamovniki district
The Khamovniki district is a historic central neighborhood in Moscow, Russia, known for its 19th-century textile manufacturing heritage, from which its name (derived from *kham*, meaning “coarse linen”) originates. It is now a prestigious residential area, famed for cultural landmarks like the Novodevichy Convent (a UNESCO site) and the Lev Tolstoy House-Museum, where the author wrote *War and Peace*.
Moscow City Court
The Moscow City Court is the main judicial body for civil, criminal, and administrative cases within the city of Moscow. It was originally established in 1918 following the Russian Revolution, and its current modern building near the Kremlin was completed in 2005. As a key institution in Russia’s judicial system, it handles some of the country’s most prominent and high-profile legal proceedings.
Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest federal court in the nation and the head of the judicial branch, established by Article III of the U.S. Constitution in 1789. It is most famous for its power of judicial review, established by the 1803 case *Marbury v. Madison*, which allows it to interpret the Constitution and overturn laws or executive actions it deems unconstitutional.
