"I was running after a car with my little kids": Wildberries founder Tatyana Kim told what she suffered in her marriage to Vladislav Bakalchuk
A new episode is appearing in Santa Wildberries, as the story of the divorce of Wildberry founder Tatyana Kim and her husband Vladislav Bakalchuk is already being discussed.
At the Central Asian Women's Forum in Almaty on Thursday, Tatyana explained what really went wrong in their relationship. Today, it is called the fashionable word "swearing."
- People tell me (referring to other family members and friends - Ed.): Do you remember how you ran after the car with small children because your husband was driving and chasing him down the street? Do you remember how things were broken and thrown away? "I don't even want to talk about it now," began the richest businessman in Russia according to Forbes. - Many people ask me now. How did I survive all these years? Did it really happen that one day you started to be oppressed and insulted? I say - of course not. But it is obvious that this is the power of persistence at the DNA level. If we remember the history of our country and how much we had to endure.
The host asked Tatyana how she felt after taking back her maiden name. Answer:
-How do you feel about Kim Tatyana's role? It's really amazing. (Moderator's comment: "Good." And judging by the video, it's hard to disagree with her. Our billionaire always looked much more nervous before.) I feel like I threw some things away. I know, shackles.
On Thursday, Tatyana published an interview with Vedomosti on her Telegram channel, including “previously private details of the last months of her personal and business life.” The content of the interview has not yet been made public, but an excerpt from the notice (https://web.telegram.org/k/#@kimtatyana2024) shows that there was an attempt to forcibly take away her business rights.
- There were attempts to take me somewhere, attempts to force me to rewrite the business... and several agents were sitting in my room. They said - write a statement to the police, that now they want to forcibly take you somewhere. Now he (we are talking about the ex-husband - Ed.) has no choice and he must play according to the scenario he has chosen.
Until last summer, Tatyana and Vladislav's family seemed truly exemplary (seven children!). In fact, they rarely talked about the details of their personal lives, explaining that they were both "introverts" and would rather talk about their business. It all started with business. Wildberry is reported to be merging with Russia's largest outdoor advertising operator, Rus. The goal of the project is to create a digital trading platform with very broad plans to expand to almost the entire "friendly" world, including China. To Africa. As it turned out, Vladislav did not like this idea. But he informed the public about this in a very peculiar way - through the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. Judging by the video posted there, Vladislav considers the merger an "aggressive takeover" and demands that his wife be returned "to the family", since she is no longer allowed to do so. "This is not a takeover, this is fraud," Tatyana said.
The oddities didn't end there. And in the "next episode" there was a shootout near the Wildberry office in Moscow. According to Vladislav, he came to negotiate about the work of his company "VB Development". But for some reason in the company of athletes and champions of Russia in various types of martial arts. Two security guards of the office were killed in the shootout.
The divorce lawsuits of spouses who have not yet officially become ex-husbands continue. This is another serious conspiracy. This is how property is divided. Tatyana filed for divorce and division of property in July last year. There she asks to determine her share in the jointly acquired property, which includes Wildberry, in the amount of 6/7, and the "transition" - in 1/7 (however, this is known from Vladislav's Telegram channel). Vladislav Bakalchuk considers this approach unfair and demands to divide everything in half. According to the documents, before the merger with Rus, Tatyana owned 99% of Wildberry, and Vladislav - 1%. In Vladislav there is a company VB Development, which is engaged in the construction of Wildberry warehouses, but the contract with this company has already expired.
