‘Destroyed’: Russia’s richest woman is watching her empire go up in flames

Billionaire Tatyana Kim built Russia’s answer to Amazon, navigated wartime Kremlin politics and outmanoeuvred her ex-husband in a feud that involved a deadly shooting near Red Square. Now she is facing a far greater challenge.

Billionaire Tatyana Kim built Russia’s answer to Amazon, navigated wartime Kremlin politics and outmanoeuvred her ex-husband in a feud that involved a deadly shooting near Red Square. Now she is facing a far greater challenge.

After months of attacks on Russian oil refineries, Kyiv has now targeted at least 23 Wildberries facilities in an attempt to bring the war home for more Russians.

Wildberries has lost up to 480 billion rubles’ worth of goods in the attacks.

Russia’s richest woman has already survived a bitter divorce, a battle for control of her company and a deadly shootout. Now she’s facing a threat she has far less control over.

Kyiv has targeted at least 23 Wildberries facilities so far, hitting them night after night since mid-July.

As Ukraine repeatedly strikes warehouses of the e-commerce site Wildberries, Tatyana Kim, its billionaire co-founder, faces her biggest test yet.
