Chelyabinsk has begun selling apartments without the "Dolina effect."
In Chelyabinsk, enterprising sellers have begun to state in real-estate listings that the "Dolina effect" is absent. This was reported by URA.RU after reviewing the classifieds website.
"For sale: a one-room apartment of the 97 series at 335 Prospekt Pobedy in the Kalininsky District for 3,420,000 rubles. There are several owners, so the Dolina effect is absent," reads one of the listings with such a clarification.
In another listing a cozy studio is for sale, where the seller also wryly notes that he is "not Larisa Dolina," writes URA.RU. It's a studio apartment of 24 square meters on the 7th floor of a 10-story building in the Soviet District, priced at 3,650,000 rubles.
According to the authors, this is meant to make clear to potential buyers that, in their case, the situation in which the seller is left without both the money and the apartment is ruled out.
Earlier Russians staged a flash mob on social networks, turning into an internet meme the story of singer Larisa Dolina reclaiming through the courts an apartment she had already sold. In Russia the "Dolina effect" has recently come to refer to situations in which elderly women, having sold an apartment to a bona fide buyer, soon get the property back via the courts while not paying the buyer the money they received, claiming that all the proceeds from the sale of the apartment were allegedly extorted from them by scammers.
