In a candid interview with the Passion site, lawyer Sergei Zhorin discussed a vehicle linked to rapper Alisher Morgenstern and the conversations that followed in Russian media. He described how the car became part of a public narrative that sits at the crossroads of law, celebrity, and luxury, and he spoke about what it meant to him personally to own it.
outlets in mid-2021 reported that Morgenstern presented Zhorin with a BMW X5 M Competition just before a hearing connected to allegations about the rapper’s lyrics dealing with drugs. The car carried a price tag around 14 million rubles at the time, a figure that drew attention to the exchange and the broader discussion of gifts within high-profile legal matters.
The lawyer later stated that the car still exists and that he uses it with pleasure. The vehicle, he explained, was more than a possession; it symbolized a moment when legal work intersected with entertainment and sparked public curiosity about what such gifts mean for fairness and accountability in the public eye.
During the interview with Passion, Zhorin noted a habit of changing cars every five to six years. In 2021 he aimed to acquire a new vehicle and attended a hearing with this in mind. He recalled the tension of those moments and how the discussion with Morgenstern about cars lingered in his memory as a notable chapter in their dealings.
He remembered telling Morgenstern about inflated prices and his preference for the BMW X5 M Competition. The dealer would not budge on the price, and Morgenstern reportedly replied that he would cover whatever amount was necessary to secure the car, a remark the lawyer remembered with a mix of surprise and pragmatism.
