Larisa Dolina may celebrate New Year's in the disputed apartment.

Larisa Dolina may celebrate New Year's in the apartment she sold to Muscovite Polina Lurye. The lawyer for the new owner of the apartment stated that her client does not intend to forcibly evict the 70-year-old singer until at least January 5.

"Lurye doesn't want to contact the bailiffs before January 5th, or even after that. She hopes this whole situation will be resolved peacefully, without the need for coercive measures," TASS quotes Svetlana Sviridenko as saying.

It was previously reported that Lurye asked Dolina to vacate the apartment by December 30, but was refused. The singer's side, in turn, stated that she would leave the apartment on January 5.

Meanwhile, it appears Dolina has already begun removing her belongings from her apartment: videos filmed near the entrance to her building are circulating online, showing rails of dresses and interior items being packed into trucks.

Previously, the Supreme Court recognized Lurye's rights to Dolina's apartment, and the singer herself was ordered to vacate the disputed property, which she had previously sold to Lurye at the behest of fraudsters and then reclaimed through the courts (and the buyer was ultimately left without the property and the 112 million rubles she had paid for it and which the singer had transferred to the fraudsters).

The case sparked widespread public outcry. It was discussed in the State Duma and Western media, and the term "Dolina effect" even emerged in the real estate market: a fraudulent scheme in which a seller sells an apartment and then goes to court to have the transaction declared illegal, claiming they themselves were the victim of fraud.

The singer herself, riding the wave of publicity, quickly became a folk antihero: she was "canceled" in show business, and memes were created about her. She recently appeared on Channel One and spoke out about the situation.
