Russia’s richest woman says estranged husband tried to take over her company

Tatyana Bakalchuk owns 99 per cent of the country’s biggest e-commerce platform and said her ex was among those who tried to enter its Moscow headquarters

Russia’s richest woman, Tatyana Bakalchuk, accused her estranged husband of attempting to seize the Moscow headquarters of the country’s biggest e-commerce platform, which she owns.

“I am publicly appealing to law enforcement agencies to take control of this situation,” Bakalchuk said in a Telegram post on Wednesday. She said three people were injured, and named Vladislav Bakalchuk, a co-founder of Wildberries whom Tatyana announced she was divorcing in July, as among those who led the people attempting to enter the building in central Moscow, not far from the Kremlin.
