Real estate exchange in Russia and Europe
Elena Burki asks:
Due to the fact that it has become more difficult for Russians to maintain real estate in other countries, is an exchange option possible? For example, I live in Europe, I have real estate in Russia and I want to change my apartment to European real estate. Are there any such options? How much is it really possible to do from the point of view of legality?

Good afternoon!
It is legally possible to do this, but it should coincide with the desire of the owner of European real estate to purchase something in Russia, as well as with the fact that both parties to the transaction will be satisfied with the parameters of the exchanged objects + the form of an additional payment (the probability of finding 100% equivalent objects under such a scheme tends to zero).
