If you thought this case was over — think again. The apartment dispute involving Russian pop diva Larisa Dolina and buyer Polina Lurye is back in court, despite the Supreme Court of Russia already issuing a final verdict.
Yes, the country's highest judicial body ruled that Lurye is the rightful owner of the apartment Dolina sold. End of story? Not even close.
Instead of packing her things, Dolina filed a police report accusing the buyer of fraud — months after receiving full payment and signing all the paperwork. Now, the Moscow City Court has reopened the case, and what seemed like a resolved dispute has turned into a legal sequel.
Welcome to the courtroom version of a soap opera.
🚨 The New Twist: Dolina Files Fraud Complaint After Losing in Supreme Court
Let's recap:
✔ In December, Russia's Supreme Court sided with
Polina Lurye, confirming that the apartment Dolina sold is now legally
Lurye's property.
✔ All previous lower-court rulings were voided. The matter, it seemed, was
settled.
But days later, Dolina filed a complaint with the police, claiming she was psychologically pressured during the transaction — allegedly under stress, fear, and confusion at the time she sold the apartment. A curious thing to remember months after the sale and weeks after losing the final court appeal.
Her lawyer, Nina Yeremenko, now claims that the new round of psychiatric evaluation — ordered by the Moscow City Court — might give Dolina a chance to reverse the outcome.
Even though this second evaluation confirmed the same findings as the first one, Yeremenko insists that the court's decision to reopen the case indicates "serious reconsideration." Not just a formality.
🧠 The Lawyer's Argument: When Mental State Becomes a Legal Weapon
Yeremenko argues that public figures like Dolina should be given extra scrutiny when selling property — including mandatory psychiatric clearance from a state mental health clinic.
Let's be
clear:
This implies that future buyers of real estate should not only verify ownership
and title documents but also check whether the seller is mentally stable at the time of sale.
This would be comical — if it weren't being seriously argued in court.
Meanwhile, Dolina remains in the apartment that now legally belongs to Lurye. As Lurye pushes for eviction, Dolina's team insists the battle is just beginning.
According to Yeremenko:
"Everyone thinks this case is over. But it's not. It's alive — and we must watch closely."
📍 What's at Stake: The 'Dolina Effect' in Russian Property Law
This case is no longer just about one celebrity and one apartment. It's morphing into a symbolic precedent.
Some lawyers are already warning about a phenomenon now dubbed the "Dolina Effect": when sellers of real estate seek to overturn legal transactions after the fact, citing psychological distress or confusion.
In short:
If this argument gains traction, any property deal
in Russia could be reversed, even after full payment and legal transfer,
simply because the seller later claims to have been under emotional pressure.
That's not just dangerous — it's a legal time bomb.
🔍 The Current Status
✔ Supreme
Court ruled in favor of the buyer, Polina Lurye.
✔ Dolina remains in the apartment and filed a criminal fraud complaint.
✔ Moscow City Court reopened the case, ordering a second psychiatric review.
✔ Both evaluations confirm Dolina was under emotional stress — but this remains
legally insufficient to cancel the deal,
according to Supreme Court standards.
The battle now shifts to whether emotional distress can outweigh a completed, paid, and notarized real estate transaction.
🎯 Conclusion: When Losing Isn't the End
What we're witnessing isn't just courtroom drama — it's a test of the Russian legal system's backbone.
If emotional instability becomes grounds to undo property sales, buyers across the country could face unprecedented uncertainty. Contracts, payments, and official registration might no longer be enough to guarantee ownership.
As for Dolina — she seems ready to fight until the last legal option is exhausted. Whether she's seeking justice or just refusing to leave the stage is up for debate.
But one
thing is clear:
This case will echo through Russian real estate law long after the final gavel
falls.
