Overview
- Buyer’s lawyer says Larisa Dolina cleared the Khamovniki apartment, with movers last seen on January 5 and the move-out completed by January 8.
- An attempted transfer on January 9 failed because Dolina did not appear and her representative lacked authority to sign the handover act, leaving Lurye unable to move in.
- Dolina is out of town and, according to Lurye’s lawyer, will not be able to sign the act until January 20, while a decision on involving court bailiffs is expected by Tuesday.
- Security at the building restricted access for third parties on January 9, and reporters observed three vehicles arrive briefly before departing.
- The Supreme Court recognized Polina Lurye as the owner on December 16 and the Moscow City Court ordered Dolina’s eviction on December 25; a legal expert says Lurye could seek compensation for use and utilities through the courts.
