The founder of the online retailer Wildberries made an unexpected announcement: she changed her last name on her Telegram channel.
Now she is Tatyana Vladimirovna Kim.
This event took place against the backdrop of a high-profile scandal related to the division of the company and personal conflicts in the Bakalchuk-Kim family.
Tatyana Vladimirovna Kim, as she now calls herself, explained that she has returned to her maiden name.
The businesswoman emphasized that since September 23 she has again taken on the surname Kim.
She explained that she took her maiden name to remain herself forever.
In July, the founder of Wildberries filed for divorce due to disagreements with her husband Vladislav Bakalchuk.
The couple failed to reach a compromise over the merger of Wildberries and the outdoor advertising operator Russ.
A family conflict led to a deadly shootout near the Wildberries office.
