Power Struggle at Wildberries: Tensions in the Moscow Headquarters

The richest woman in Russia, Tatyana Bakalchuk, has accused her estranged husband, Vladislav Bakalchuk, of attempting a forcible takeover of the Moscow headquarters of the country's largest e-commerce platform, which she owns. In a Telegram post on Wednesday, Bakalchuk made a public appeal to law enforcement authorities to take control of the situation. She stated that three people were injured during the incidents and identified Vladislav Bakalchuk, a co-founder of Wildberries, as one of the leaders of those trying to enter the building in the heart of Moscow, near the Kremlin. The Bakalchuks' divorce, which Tatyana announced in July, now appears to be escalating into a publicly fought conflict. The tensions surrounding the e-commerce giant Wildberries could lead to further unrest within the company, which already operates in an intensely competitive environment.
