Named as defendants are A. N. Tsyrulnikova, D. M. Leontiev, A. I. Kamenecki, and A. D. Osnova, who were previously found guilty of large-scale fraud in a case concerning Dolina's apartment. They were sentenced to prison terms ranging from four to seven years.
It is worth noting that in 2024, under pressure from fraudsters, Larisa Dolina sold her apartment. The buyer turned out to be 34-year-old Polina Lurie, who was unaware of the fraudulent scheme. After Dolina appealed to the court, the apartment was returned to her, and the court ruled that she was not obliged to return the amount paid to Lurie. As a result, Lurie ended up without both the apartment and the money.
Larisa Dolina.
This case has sparked widespread public resonance that has extended beyond Russia. On social media, users began to "cancel" Larisa Dolina en masse, demanding the return of the apartment to the rightful buyer and to deal with the fraudsters later. A phrase even emerged: "Dolina effect" or "grandmother's scheme," describing a situation where a seller attempts to contest a transaction after it has been completed, claiming to have been a victim of fraud.
In December 2025, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation confirmed ownership rights for Polina Lurie. The court also decided to reconsider the case regarding Dolina's forced eviction from the apartment, from which she moved out in early January 2026.
