The Dzerzhinsky District Court of St. Petersburg is going to consider the claim of Anastasia Volochkova against the management company, which admitted that there was a leak in the ballerina’s apartment. According to Volochkova, the incident resulted in multimillion-dollar expenses, since the apartment itself is a “museum piece.” Attended the court session REN TV.

“I came to my native, pleasant city of St. Petersburg on purpose. The apartment has been owned for more than ten years. Despite the fact that I have not lived in St. Petersburg since 2003, I regularly paid for all utilities. As a result, there was a leak due to management company, everything in the apartment was spoiled.For me, this apartment is very expensive, as a value of human nature, not material!This is a real museum exhibitat,” Volochkova said at a court hearing.

According to the woman, this is not the first accident that occurred in the apartment. Previously, the leak happened in 2018, and Volochkova was forced to repair the affected premises at her own expense. Now she wants the management company to return the money spent.
