The group’s leader claimed a sudden leg cramp as a reason for the day’s events. Maxim Pokrovsky, who is identified in Russia as a foreign agent, re-registered a Moscow apartment in his wife’s name for 25.7 million rubles. This move was disclosed by the Telegram channel Shot.
According to the source, the musician took this step to facilitate a quick sale of a property that had been difficult to move. The four-room, 110-square-meter apartment was placed under his wife Tatyana’s name as part of a marriage contract, with the registration completed on November 15. The cadastral value of the dwelling is 15.9 million rubles.
Shot notes that the apartment has now been temporarily removed from real estate listings. The publication adds that the listing will reappear once the documents are fully resolved by Pokrovsky’s wife. At present, Pokrovsky is unable to travel to Moscow.
Earlier, the band’s lead singer was quoted as saying that the situation in Moscow is tight. He has been blocked from selling his property in the capital due to his status as a foreign agent. According to Shot, potential buyers backed away from bids as soon as the seller’s name came to light.
Pokrovsky was placed on Russia’s foreign agents register on March 31, 2023, following controversial remarks and video content about a military operation in Ukraine. A lawsuit was filed in the United States, accusing him of discrediting the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. On March 27, it emerged that the Moscow Khoroshevsky Court terminated the administrative proceedings in that case, effectively ending the action for the time being.
There was an earlier attempt to remove the foreign agent designation from Maxim Pokrovsky, a move that was not granted at that time.
