While Lurie Awaits Apartment Keys, Dolina Enjoys Luxury UAE Vacation
Larisa Dolina
While Polina Lurie waits for the keys to her new apartment in central Moscow, Larisa Dolina is spending January in a different reality—under palm trees, overlooking the Persian Gulf, with a schedule free from urgent meetings with lawyers and property transfers.
The Elite Apartment Saga and a Luxury Vacation
The story of the elite apartment in Khamovniki is unfolding alongside the singer’s luxury vacation in the UAE. As reported by the Telegram channel Mash, in early January, Larisa Alexandrovna left Russia and headed to Abu Dhabi with her daughter Angelina and granddaughter Sasha. The family settled on Saadiyat Island, one of the most prestigious resort destinations in the emirate.
The artist chose the five-star Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island, a hotel where the cost of stay ranges from several hundred thousand to a million rubles per night. Guests here enjoy private beaches, multiple pools, spa complexes, massages, gyms, tennis courts, and DJ parties. According to eyewitnesses, Dolina is fully enjoying her vacation—preferring seafood, alternating between Japanese and Italian cuisine, and spending time in interiors adorned with natural silk and designer furniture.
A Low-Key Vacation
Interestingly, the singer herself decided not to share vacation photos on social media this time. However, she couldn’t completely escape attention. Other hotel guests recognized the star and captured her with her family. These images quickly spread online, sparking a strong reaction amid the ongoing conflict over the Moscow apartment.
Stalled Apartment Handover
Meanwhile, the situation in Russia remains unresolved. Polina Lurie, who won the court case, still hasn’t received the keys to the Khamovniki apartment, which formally belongs to her. Initially, the apartment handover was supposed to take place on January 9, but it didn’t happen. According to Lurie’s representatives, it was impossible to accept the apartment on the appointed day: Dolina herself did not appear, and her authorized representative lacked the necessary authority to hand over the keys or sign the acceptance certificate.
Dolina’s Return and Upcoming Performance
It is still unknown when Larisa Alexandrovna will return to Russia. Earlier, dates at the end of January were mentioned, but there is no exact information. Meanwhile, the singer’s first performance of the new year is scheduled for January 27—a concert at the Petter bar in Moscow, with tickets priced from 9,500 to 18,500 rubles. It is possible that the artist will appear in Moscow by this date, but there are no guarantees.
Legal Complications and Trust Issues
Lurie’s side has developed a strong impression that the singer is avoiding a personal meeting. After several broken agreements, trust in the star’s promises has been almost completely lost. Now, the issue will likely be resolved with the involvement of bailiffs—as part of the enforcement of the court’s decision.
Recall that the decision to evict Dolina and remove her daughter and granddaughter from registration was made by the Moscow City Court on December 25, 2023. Initially, the new owners insisted on vacating the apartment before the New Year. The singer requested a postponement until January 5, then the date was moved to the 9th. According to Lurie’s lawyers, the apartment was actually vacated by January 5, and moving in was possible, but the buyer insisted on proper legal formalities—signing all necessary documents. It was at this stage that the process finally stalled.
Reputational and Financial Losses
Amid the legal proceedings, Dolina has already suffered significant reputational and financial losses. The singer has lost not only her apartment but also some concert projects. In particular, the anniversary concert “Encores for the Jubilee,” dedicated to her 70th birthday, was canceled. The reason was not only weak ticket sales but also numerous appeals from viewers concerned about the situation with the artist’s real estate.
Potential Legal Consequences
If the apartment handover process hadn’t dragged on, many problems could have been avoided. Now, the keys to the elite real estate in Khamovniki have become a symbol of the prolonged conflict. Each new delay means additional expenses—for storing belongings, rescheduling the move, and paying contractor fees. The question arises: can the buyer recover these costs from Larisa Dolina?
According to lawyer Sergei Zhorin, the seller’s failure to appear for signing the act and the lack of properly authorized representatives directly create obstacles for moving into the apartment and entail additional costs that may be recognized as damages. However, such expenses must be documented—whether fines for terminated contracts with transportation companies or payments for renting warehouses to store property.
The lawyer also reminded that delaying the execution of the court’s decision could have much more serious consequences for the singer. If enforcement proceedings are initiated and the bailiffs conclude that Dolina is deliberately evading the execution of the decision, harsh measures may be taken, up to criminal liability. Although Zhorin himself doubts that the situation will reach such a radical scenario, he emphasizes that ignoring a court decision that has entered into force is an extremely risky strategy.
