Larisa Dolina filed a lawsuit against the complaint of Polina Lurye, the buyer of her apartment.
Larisa Dolina's defense team filed a cassation appeal with the Supreme Court against Polina Lurye, the first victim of the "Dolina effect," who is suing the singer over ownership of a five-room apartment in Khamovniki. This was reported by RBC.
The buyer of Dolina's apartment is asking that all previous court decisions that upheld the singer's claim to invalidate their purchase and sale transaction be declared illegal.
Earlier, 70-year-old Larisa Dolina, who was removed from New Year's programs amid the "Dolina effect," offered to repay Polina Lurye's money over the course of three years.
As a reminder, last summer, Larisa Dolina admitted to selling her Moscow apartment for 112 million rubles and handing the money over to scammers. In total, the singer gave the criminals approximately 180 million rubles. Dolina appealed to the court, which returned the property to her, leaving the buyer without the apartment or the money.
The case has sparked public outcry, with several thousand cases of apartments being returned to their owners months and even years after the sale already recorded across the country. Homebuyers are left without property and money, and some are forced to continue paying off their loans. This scheme is popularly known as "the effect" or "the Dolina scheme." Even her colleagues have criticized the singer online, with users calling for its "cancellation." The situation has even been discussed in the State Duma. The "Dolina scheme" has been called the most negative event of 2025, and has already become a meme. The story has generated such widespread attention that it even earned an article in the American magazine Vanity Fair.
