For two years, the performer of the role of Assol and the first wife of Nikita Mikhalkov has been trying to challenge the will of her ex-girlfriend Ivetta Kvachadze and defend an elite apartment in the center of Moscow

Anastasia Vertinskaya

In the Tverskoy Court of Moscow, the scandalous trial in the case of an elite apartment in the center of Moscow, in which the famous actress Anastasia Vertinskaya was involved, has entered its final stage. For two years now she has been trying to challenge the will of her friend Ivetta Kvachadze, who died of cancer, who left all her property to relatives and friends. Vertinskaya claims that her friend was not herself when she signed the document. However, a post-mortem psychological and psychiatric examination from the V.P. Serbsky Institute, which was submitted to the court, refutes this opinion.

Vertinskaya insists: the entire inheritance belongs to her. This is exactly what was stated in the first will, which the actress presented to the court.

Another friend of the deceased, Larisa Ignatova, in turn, accuses Vertinskaya of fraud with housing - after the death of Kvachadze, it turned out that the actress sold the “one-room apartment” in Oruzheyny Lane using a power of attorney previously issued to her for half the price.

67-year-old Ivetta Kvachadze, the daughter of Soviet actor Valerian Kvachadze (who became famous for playing the role of Stalin during the life of the leader - BFM.ru), died of cancer in a clinic in the German city of Essen on June 20, 2009. At first, Kvachadze received treatment in Russia, then her friends convinced her to go to Germany. There were funds for this - she inherited from her husband (he died in December 2006) a two-room apartment on Leninsky Prospekt, and from her mother (she died a month later, in January 2007) - a one-room apartment in house No. 5 on Oruzheyny Lane. Ivetta Kvachadze herself lived there, but on a different floor, in a two-room apartment. She also owned a dacha in the near Moscow region, not far from the Abramtsevo museum-reserve.

Treatment price

In order to pay for treatment abroad, she decided to sell her apartment on Leninsky. According to the friends of the deceased, Vertinskaya lent her 63 thousand dollars (or 47 thousand euros at the exchange rate of that time), transferring the money to a German clinic. Kvachadze, in turn, executed a purchase and sale agreement for the apartment for Vertinskaya. It was assumed that the actress would subsequently resell the home (the apartment was valued at approximately $250,000) and return the money. She will give the remaining difference to Kvachadze.

In May 2009, Kvachadze underwent surgery in Germany. Another close friend, Larisa Ignatova, went abroad to morally support her. As for Anastasia Vertinskaya, she went on vacation with her family to Turkey. By this time, the relationship between the friends had already cracked - according to some evidence, a few months before they had quarreled, then made peace, but their relationship remained strained.

Abroad, everything did not go as smoothly as expected - the patient’s body could not withstand the difficult postoperative period. Feeling that she was dying, Kvachadze, in the presence of a notary, made a will three days before her death, mentioning in it about a dozen people - friends and relatives. She gave the one-room apartment in Oruzheyny Lane to Larisa Ignatova, two-thirds of the two-room apartment to Anastasia Vertinskaya, and gave jewelry and fur coats to her colleagues at work at the Central House of Writers. Part of the property was bequeathed to relatives.

However, when Larisa Ignatova began the procedure for entering into an inheritance, she unexpectedly learned that the one-room apartment had already been sold. “It turned out that two days after Kvachadze was operated on in Germany and while she was in intensive care, Vertinskaya, using the power of attorney given to her back in 2008, sold the apartment bequeathed to me to her friend, the general director of the White Swan real estate company Karina Minina. And for a ridiculous amount - 4 million rubles. Despite the fact that such apartments in this area cost at least 10 million,” said Ignatova.

Vertinskaya does not believe the last will of the deceased

Another important circumstance soon emerged. It turned out that in February 2008, Ivetta Kvachadze wrote another will, in which she left all her property to Anastasia Vertinskaya.

In December 2009, Kvachadze's former girlfriends and her relatives went to court. So, Vertinskaya filed a lawsuit in which she demanded that the second will be declared invalid. She claims that the dying woman did not know what she was doing, as she was under the influence of strong drugs. The second lawsuit was filed by Ignatova, who claims that her friend was of sound mind and sound memory. The plaintiff raised the issue of invalidating the transaction for the sale of the apartment. In their lawsuit, Kvachadze’s relatives insist that the deceased’s last will be carried out. The court combined all three cases into one proceeding.

In order to determine Kvachadze’s mental state at the time of drawing up the will, the court, at the request of Vertinskaya’s representatives, ordered a posthumous psychological and psychiatric examination at the V.P. Serbsky Institute. The conclusion was ready in July of this year. However, it was not in favor of the famous actress.

It follows from the document that despite the serious state of health, Ivetta Kvachadze “retained the resources of emotional and personal response to changing life circumstances, retained the intellectual abilities for an adequate perception of the surrounding reality, critical understanding of what is happening, intellectual-volitional control and forecasting of her latest actions and decisions " “In addition, according to the notary’s records, she actively participated in the discussion of the procedure for her will,” the experts indicated.

“Thus, in accordance with the questions posed, the commission comes to the conclusion that Kvachadze did not suffer from any mental disorder at the time of drawing up the will dated June 17, 2009,” the expert’s conclusion states.

On Wednesday, November 23, the court planned to question a representative of the commission of the Institute. V.P. Serbsky, but he did not appear at the trial. Lawyer Kirill Yashenkov, representing the interests of Anastasia Vertinskaya in court, said that he was never able to receive a response to his earlier request to the Russian Oncology Research Center named after. N.N. Blokhina - the lawyer there - was refused to provide information about the severity of the condition of Kvachadze, who was being treated there. In addition, the lawyer stated that he wanted to hear in court the opinion of the patient’s attending physicians, who observed her in Moscow.

Elena Sokolova, who represented the interests of Larisa Ignatova in court, objected that this was not necessary - all data on Kvachadze’s health was reflected in the post-mortem examination. The lawyer noted that in the center they. Blokhina's patient was observed for only 2.5 months - until March 2008. However, judge Natalya Makarova still gave Vertinskaya’s lawyer the opportunity to request additional evidence and postponed the hearing to December 15.

Leaving the court, the heirs under Kvachadze’s second will accused the opposite side of delaying the process. “They are trying with all their might to discredit the conclusion of the most authoritative institution in our country,” says Larisa Ignatova. In her opinion, it is beneficial for the defendants to delay making a decision, since, according to realtors, a one-room apartment on Oruzheyny Lane brings in a monthly income of 80 thousand rubles. According to Ignatova, the residents of the building say that Vertinskaya rents out the apartment, but they have never seen Minina there.

The representative of Anastasia Vertinskaya, in turn, was laconic in his comments. Kirill Yashenkov told BFM.ru that when resolving the dispute, “the opinion of doctors from various fields of medicine should be taken into account.” He claims that Ivetta Kvachadze was aware of the sale of the one-room apartment on Oruzheiny Lane: “The terms of the sale were discussed with her. The deal was concluded under a valid power of attorney, which was not canceled by anyone and at the moment when Kvachadze was still alive.” The lawyer rejected the idea that the papers could have been issued retroactively. “The deal is absolutely legal and complies with current legislation,” he believes. However, the deceased’s friends do not agree with him.

“The purchase and sale agreement for the apartment was submitted for registration to the Moscow Federal Property Fund 2 weeks after Ivetta’s death using an expired power of attorney,” noted another friend of the deceased, Valentina Malyukova, also mentioned as one of the heirs. She believes that Kvachadze’s sanity is beyond doubt: “Ivette’s attending physician in Germany, the management of the German clinic, as well as the notary who drew up the will, attested to the patient’s legal capacity.”

The trial in the case of the inheritance of Ivetta Kvachadze is ending in court. For two years, the famous actress Anastasia Vertinskaya has been trying to challenge the will and defend an elite apartment in the center of Moscow

Vertinskaya insists: the entire inheritance belongs to her. This is exactly what was stated in the first will, which the actress presented to the court.

Vertinskaya does not believe the last will of the deceased

Another important circumstance soon emerged. It turned out that in February 2008, Ivetta Kvachadze wrote another will, in which she left all her property to Anastasia Vertinskaya.

According to the claim of the Vertinsky sisters, the court recovered an unprecedented amount
The newspaper "Megapolis-Express" will go bankrupt - by 142 million rubles
The Tagansky Court of Moscow ordered the Megapolis-Express newspaper to pay Vertinsky's family 142 million rubles as compensation for moral damage. The newspaper published an interview with a certain Galina Lipatova, who claimed that she was the singer’s real daughter, Marianna, and that the famous actress was only posing as Vertinsky’s daughter.

67-year-old Galina Lipatova has been known to the Vertinsky family for a long time. According to the singer’s daughter Marianna, “even during her father’s life, Lipatova, being a passionate fan of his work, sent him letters explaining her devotion.” In her letters, she indicated that she wanted to live next to him and even “swim in the water” with which Vertinsky “washes his feet.” “My father was afraid of her like hell,” continues Marianna. “He was afraid that Lipatova would commit suicide under the doors of his apartment.”
After Vertinsky’s death in 1957, his fan transferred her love to the artist’s daughters, Anastasia and Marianna. Marianna said that Lipatova invited her and Anastasia to her home, said what a great father they had, and played records with recordings of Vertinsky’s songs. Over time, the singer’s fan’s manic infatuation developed into schizophrenia. With this diagnosis, in 1965 she was registered at mental hospital #3.
According to the lawyer of the Vertinsky family, Irina Tulubieva, the illness was difficult. At first, Lipatova imagined herself to be the artist’s widow. She went to his grave and sang songs there “to Vertinsky.” Later she began to claim that she was the singer’s real daughter, Marianna. She told about this to the correspondent of the Megapolis-Express newspaper.
On August 28, 1996, an interview with Lipatova was published. The false Marianne claimed that in the 40s, Lydia Vertinskaya was carried away by a certain “player of life and rake.” Having learned about this, Vertinsky allegedly gave the real Marianna to be raised by his friend Agrippina Lipatova. And he took in her daughter, who now introduces herself to everyone as Marianna Vertinskaya. Lipatova also claimed that it was not the great singer who lay in the grave, but his double. Vertinsky himself died later at the hands of an “envious man.”
According to the author of the publication, Igor Dudinsky, anticipating a negative reaction to these revelations, at the end of the interview he invited readers to send their responses to the newspaper. Many famous artists sent indignant letters to the newspaper, claiming that Lipatova’s story was nonsense. And soon the lawyer of the Vertinskys offended by the publication, Tulubyeva, contacted the newspaper and demanded a refutation.
The editor-in-chief of Megapolis Express, Vladimir Volin, did not dispute the demand for a refutation, but invited the Vertinskys to document that Marianna Vertinskaya is the real daughter, and her mother Lydia is the widow of the great singer. The Vertinskys (a widow, two daughters and their relatives) considered this unacceptable and in the fall of 1996 they turned to the Tagansky court demanding a refutation and payment of 300 million rubles. The editors of Megapolis and the author of the publication were brought in as defendants. No claims were made against Lipatova due to her incapacity.
In court, representatives of the editorial office still did not object to the refutation, but disputed the amount of material claims. The newspapermen argued that they were not responsible for the words of Lipatova, who were only accurately quoted. But the court still upheld the claim, obliging the newspaper to pay the Vertinskys 142 million rubles. So far, this is the largest amount recovered in Russia for claims for the protection of honor and dignity. Vladimir Volin noted that if the editors pay this money, the newspaper may close altogether. And the representative of the editorial office, Alexander Ostrovsky, said that he intends to appeal the court’s decision.
