A Russian court ruled Monday that a businessman who claims to be a descendant of Ivan the Terrible did not have the right to take over palaces in the Kremlin, the seat of the Russian government.

俄国沙皇后裔打官司索要家族宅邸克林姆林宫

       日前,一个自称是沙皇伊凡大帝后代的商人在法院向俄罗斯政府和文化部提起诉讼,索要他的家族宅邸的所有权,也就是俄罗斯政府所在地克林姆林宫。

       瓦勒里-库巴里夫声称他应拥有克林姆林宫的部分宫殿和所有的高塔建筑。目前克林姆林宫是俄国总统梅德韦杰夫办公的地方。

       法院已经驳回了这个诉讼。法官认为:“他的指控没能证明他的权利受到了侵害。”

       库巴里夫曾是一个火箭科学家,上世纪90年代步入金融业,自称是伊凡大帝的后人,并希望能把克林姆林宫收回作为沙皇后裔的聚居地。

       虽然诉讼被法官驳回,但库巴里夫表示他并不惊讶,“我们还会向最高法院上诉,然后我希望把这个案子送上欧洲人权法庭。”

       库巴里夫表示如果他赢下官司,他将向公众开放克林姆林宫,并会把一些教堂和宫殿改成博物馆。目前的克林姆林宫的大部分区域都是封闭的。“我希望克林姆林宫能对公众和创造它的后裔开放。”
