Buyer Seeks Supreme Court Reversal in Larisa Dolina Apartment Dispute

Overview

• Polina Lurye’s attorney says she expects the Supreme Court to deem the sale lawful and return the apartment to her.
• The Supreme Court hearing on Lurye’s complaint is scheduled for December 16.
• Larisa Dolina said on national TV she would repay the full purchase amount, but Lurye doubts the promise and insists on getting the home back.
• In March a district court restored Dolina’s title, and those decisions were upheld by the Moscow City Court and by the Second Cassation Court on November 27.
• In the separate criminal case, four defendants were sentenced to four to seven years and fined 900,000 rubles each, and during the civil dispute the tax service billed Lurye over 100,000 rubles as the titled owner.
