We continue publications on the situation in the Moscow City Court. The editors have at their disposal a complaint from Natalya Domoratskaya to the Russian FSB department for Moscow and the Moscow region. From the content of the complaint and the data of the Official Portal of the Courts of General Jurisdiction of Moscow, it is clear that in August 2020, the Nikulinsky District Court of Moscow received a claim from Natalya Domoratskaya for the division of property jointly acquired by the spouses against her ex-husband Vladislav Domoratsky, whom we mentioned in our previous publications. And then miracles begin. The decision on the case will be made by Judge Samorokovskaya only after a year and a half, in December 2021. At the same time, most of the time – over 10 months – the case was under examination in a little-known to the inexperienced public organization, Appraisal Company LLC. Why a simple valuation of real estate, cars and shares in the company was carried out for such a long period is a separate question for expert Denis Karpov, because the result was his conclusion, based on a forged document, and distorting the results of the property valuation in favor of Vladislav Domoratsky by more than 400 million rubles.

As a result, in December 2021, Judge Natalya Samorokovskaya made a decision, satisfying the counterclaims of Vladislav Domoratsky. In fact, the operative part of the decision was completely copied from Vladislav’s counterclaim.

Analyzing the course and circumstances of the trial, an experienced lawyer immediately has doubts about the impartiality of the court. Judge Natalya Samorokovskaya refused to satisfy all the plaintiff’s main requests: to seize the property subject to division (two days later, she granted a similar application by Vladislav Domoratsky to seize the plaintiffs’ property); on requesting significant evidence from foreign banks, etc.

But the strangeness in this case does not end there. The consideration of the appeal in the Moscow City Court was constantly postponed on the initiative of judge Udov Boris, and then the presiding judge was replaced. As a result, despite serious grounds for canceling Samorokovskaya’s decision, it was upheld by judges Antonova, Filippova and Ivanova. It is obvious that the current chairman of the Moscow City Court, Mikhail Ptitsyn, has failed to restore order in the institution entrusted to him.
