The situation surrounding blogger Anastasia Ivleeva’s wardrobe has attracted attention after a St. Petersburg furniture company filed a lawsuit against the president Dmitry Larichkin. The piece of furniture, tied to Ivleeva, is now set to be sold to support the needs of the Northern Military District, according to reporting by Life via Shot.
Larichkin confirmed to the publication that the wardrobe, custom-made for Ivleeva, will be assembled and placed up for auction in the coming week. The plan is to move forward with the sale as part of a broader effort to fund military needs in the north, aligning with the district’s operational requirements.
In his remarks, the entrepreneur explained that he had reversed course on pursuing a counterclaim and an appeal because he believed his position was correct and the court supported it. He described ongoing public scrutiny as expected and said he would personally take charge of the matter in the appropriate channels. The statement underscored a determination to resolve the dispute despite external noise.
The dispute began when Ivleeva alleged that she had been shortchanged by a million rubles. She claimed she paid an upfront sum and did not receive the wardrobe as agreed. The furniture makers attributed the delay to production timelines that ran longer than originally planned, emphasizing that the project faced unforeseen holdups rather than any deliberate fault.
Ivleeva pursued a legal claim and was awarded a small sum of 6,000 rubles; she subsequently sought to increase the compensation. The outcome highlighted the challenges that can accompany high-profile engagements where miscommunications or delays can lead to friction and legal action.
Earlier in the proceedings, Makovetsky weighed in on the case, noting the potential loss involved and adding another layer of commentary to the evolving narrative. The proceedings reflect how a seemingly private commercial dispute can intersect with public attention and broader institutional processes.
