In discussions about a civil dispute involving Arseny Shulgin, a producer named Joseph Prigozhin spoke about the situation and offered his take on how such matters often unfold. He stated that the case against the son of the singer Valeria is a civil matter and not a criminal one. Prigozhin noted that businessmen like Shulgin frequently settle civil disputes privately, and he found it unusual that this situation had become a topic of public chatter. The parties involved have since resolved their differences and the matter is considered closed. He warned that some people might be trying to use their names for publicity, turning private matters into headlines. He also suggested that Russia could benefit from a law that bans sharing the specifics of a case before a court decision is issued.
On October 20, reports surfaced that a businessman named Valentin Demchuk filed a lawsuit against Arseny Shulgin in the Tverskoy District Court for more than five hundred thousand dollars. The claim was admitted for trial on June 7 of the current year, and the assessment of the claim was postponed until the end of November. The amount requested has fluctuated on several occasions as the case progressed.
Valeria’s son Arseny Shulgin has been married to blogger Liana Volkova since August 28, 2020. The couple welcomed a daughter on January 1, 2021, marking a new chapter in their personal lives.
