KALININGRAD, March 7 (AVN) - The Baltiysk court on Thursday will consider an eviction suit filed by Captain Vladimir Yakovlev, head of the sea engineering service of the Baltiysk naval base, the Military News Agency learned.
Yakovlev is demanding forced eviction of the widow and children of Guard Captain Dmitry Karakulko, who was killed in Chechnya in May 1995. The officer died when he rushed to rescue his ambushed fellows.
After his death, the Baltic Fleet command decided to improve housing conditions of his widow, Marina Karakulko, who was residing in a single-room flat together with her mother and two little children. The woman was provided with a four-room apartment in Kaliningrad where she moved with the children, while her mother decided to stay in the old flat in Baltiysk.
Two years later, several fleet officials demanded that Marina's mother moved to Kaliningrad as well and handed over the apartment to the fleet, or that Marina herself moved to a smaller flat. When the demand was rejected, they sued the family. The court noted their claim.
At the same time, the military court declined to note a prosecutor's claim for eviction of Major-General Sergei Laptev, deputy Baltic Fleet commander, and Lieutenant-General Vladimir Novikov, the commander of the fleet's sea aviation, who had allegedly obtained personal apartments illegally, a source in the Baltic Fleet Prosecutor's Office told the Agency.
The claim was rejected due to purely formal reasons, the source stressed.
