Overview
- On national TV, Larisa Dolina said she intends to return 112 million rubles to the buyer in full, acknowledging she does not have the entire sum on hand.
- Buyer Polina Lurie will not withdraw her complaint, with her lawyer insisting the sale was valid and citing failed talks that proposed three‑year installments without inflation adjustment, compensation or firm deadlines.
- The Supreme Court date is set for 16 December after lower courts restored title to Dolina, while Lurie has already paid over 100,000 rubles in property tax as the recorded owner during the dispute.
- RIA Novosti reported that the person whose passport was shown to Dolina by the scammers does not exist in Russian registries.
- Online ridicule has surged, including posts referencing Tom Holland, as jazz musician Igor Butman called for support for Dolina and a senior lawmaker warned that TV debates cannot substitute for court rulings.
