The press service of the merged company Wildberries and Russ reported that the conflict began after the arrival of Vladislav Bakalchuk, the husband of Wildberries owner Tatyana Bakalchuk.

He arrived in the company of armed men, who opened fire on the security guards who did not allow the businessman into the business center.

Bakalchuk was not allowed into the office because he is not an employee and owns 1% of the company, which only gives him the right to request documentation, Wildberries explained.
