Regarding the fatal gunfire that occurred last week at the Moscow location of Wildberries, the biggest online store in Russia, Moscow is keeping quiet. On Monday, the spokesman for the Kremlin declined to comment.
The gunfight in a Moscow street, which claimed two lives and injured seven, is evocative of the turbulent 1990s, when the nation’s transition from communism was characterized by bloody conflicts over financial resources.
When questioned about the issue, which involves a strongman in the region who is a devoted supporter of President Vladimir Putin’s administration, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov responded, “We do not think it is for us to comment on this topic.”
We’re currently looking into these incidents. Law enforcement is handling this, the official said. It’s also outside of our purview to handle the actual merger process. We are not required to comment on these business procedures. Tatyana Bakalchuk, the creator and majority stakeholder of Wildberries, is at the center of the conflict.
The wealthiest woman in Russia recently chose to combine the business with outdoor advertising company Russ Group.
However, Bakalchuk’s ex-husband and the company’s co-founder Vladimir has challenged the move, and has recruited Chechnya’s notorious ruler Ramzan Kadyrov to support his claims
According to reports, the merger deal was personally approved by Putin. However, Kadyrov has denounced it as an illegal seizure.On Friday, at least two dozen people, including a Chechen mixed martial arts fighter, were arrested due to suspected involvement in the shootout
