The Supreme Court ordered Larisa Dolina to return 112 million rubles to Polina Lurye, the buyer of her apartment, and left the property itself to the singer. This verdict was announced following today's hearing in the high-profile case.

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.
