Lurie's lawyer in the Dolina case talked about plans to return the apartment

The lawyer of Polina Lurie, the buyer of the apartment of singer Larisa Dolina, Svetlana Sviridenko, announced her intention to continue fighting for the return of property.

In the spring, the court declared the deal invalid. As a result, Lurie lost both the apartment and the money paid for it. In October 2025, she tried to challenge the decision in cassation, but the court again sided with Dolina.

Not far from the house where the disputed apartment is located, residents even set up a "valley wall": they bring slippers, keys and small toys there — according to local beliefs, such a "sacrifice" helps to successfully conduct a real estate transaction.
