Today a group of people led by Vladislav Bakalchuk, Sergei Anufriev and Vladimir Bakin attempted to seize Wildberries' offices in Moscow. To my deep regret, as a result of the armed attack on Wildberries, a security guard at our office was killed. A second guard later died of his wounds, Russian state media reported. This violent act poses serious concerns about business safety in Russia, particularly in cases of corporate conflict.
The incident followed weeks of tension related to a merger deal that Vladislav Bakalchuk publicly criticized. Tatyana Bakalchuk emphasizes that the merger with Russ Outdoor was essential for Wildberries’ future growth amidst stiff competition with global giants like Amazon. Vladislav's actions are a tragic reflection of personal and business disputes, showcasing how personal relationships can complicate corporate lives.”}],
Witness accounts suggested the chaos during the incident, with sounds of gunfire and shouts filling the air. Eyewitness Nadezhda described the scene: 'The wounded were moved out of the building and taken away by ambulance. Some of them were being carried.' This displays the immediate aftermath of violence, raising questions about security measures in workplaces, particularly amid corporate disputes.
The Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case regarding this armed incident, highlighting the serious legal implications of violent takeover attempts in corporate environments. This incident raises alarms about potential future threats from personal conflict spilling over into corporate worlds, further complicating an already challenging landscape for Russia's major retailers.
