Trubnikov's first wife seized Natura Siberica
She has been designated accountable for the safeguarding of the assets of the legal entity Natura Siberica, which were impounded regarding the blaze at the factory of Oleg Deripaska's previous enterprise.
Two employees from Natura Siberica have been deemed responsible for the fire incident, and the firm is now facing a penalty of 4.1 billion rubles. This poses a threat of shutdown or the breakup of its assets.
What transpired?
This morning, the official Instagram account for Natura Siberica communicated that Irina Trubnikova, the initial spouse of the brand’s creator, Andrey Trubnikov, had taken back command of the cosmetics company’s manufacturing locations. The corporation’s present leader, Sergey Buylov, declared a cessation of output. As per Trubnikova’s spokesperson, the recommencement of production is anticipated for the next day. “The corporate attack on Natura Siberica has disabled managerial procedures and jeopardized output due to disturbances in the provision chain and the inability to trade completed goods,” the announcement elucidated.
It also indicates that Irina Trubnikova was able to regain control “based on a judgment by the Babushkinsky District Court of Moscow and a decree by the Investigation Department of the Moscow Region.” The Bell scrutinized this judicial verdict. As it appears, the Babushkinsky Court issued a ruling on the legal case pursued by Oleg Deripaska’s prior organization against Natura Siberica. Two workers from the beauty product establishment were pronounced guilty of initiating a conflagration at the Dmitrovsky Experimental Plant for Aluminum and Combined Tape (DOZAKL), which was possessed by businesses affiliated with En+, established by Deripaska. Natura Siberica was leasing space at the site.

The lawful person of Natura Siberica, Pervoe Reshenie LLC, is being prosecuted for 4.1 billion rubles in restitution from the inferno. All corporate holdings have been confiscated, and the investigator has installed Irina Trubnikova as the protector of their security. Consequently, Trubnikova now possesses unrestricted entry to all corporate properties.
What is recognized about the fire and the litigation?
The factory in Dmitrov ignited in the wee hours of March 21, 2020, and it necessitated a full day to extinguish. The fire annihilated over 80% of the structures in the industrial territory, encompassing an expanse of 60,000 square meters.
The Babushkinsky Court papers, reviewed by The Bell, assert that the fire stemmed from the actions of forklift operator D.E. Vlasov. He opted to conduct welding duties inside the plant’s fabrication facility, breaching safety conventions. The welding touched a repository space for packing material—plastic containers—which ignited, disseminating the flames throughout the edifice. Chief mechanic A.I. Platonov, tasked with ensuring safety protocols, neglected to prevent Vlasov’s undertakings.
The lawsuit concerning the fire at the Dmitrov factory commenced while Andrey Trubnikov was still among the living. In the onset, En+ Recycling, the entity that managed the plant’s energy supply assets, lodged a suit against Pervoe Reshenie (First Solution). DOZAKL was an additional complainant. The Bell initially announced the legal action. The preliminary demand amounted to 4.5 billion rubles. Restraining orders were issued against 65 brands (encompassing the illustrious “Recipes of Grandma Agafia” and Organic Shop) and even Natura Siberica vehicles.
Subsequently, one of the plaintiffs in the event was altered. En+ Recycling was superseded by Ingosstrakh. The demand augmented to 5.3 billion rubles. It was later modified numerous times, ultimately settling at 4.1 billion rubles. For assessment, Pervoye Reshenie's revenue in 2020 totaled 6.6 billion rubles, alongside a net debit of 387 million rubles. The entire firm, according to The Bell's source, was evaluated at 3-4 billion rubles at the outset of the year.
Upon the airing of En+ Recycling's lawsuit, Natura Siberica cautioned that forfeiting the case would beget a total cessation in fabrication and the cessation of the chain of stores, which would “culminate in the forfeiture of thousands of vocations and the elimination of affordable, superior-grade cosmetics from retail shelves.”
What is happening at Natura Siberica?
The corporation is persistently engaged in a corporate disagreement that arose following the passing of the brand’s architect, Andrey Trubnikov. The entrepreneur’s kin were unable to reach a consensus on who would steer the enterprise while the estate was undergoing processing. Andrey Trubnikov has four inheritors, sources informed The Bell: son Dmitry and daughter Ekaterina from his prior matrimony, daughter Elizaveta from his subsequent matrimony, and his tertiary spouse, Anastasia, from whom the businessman was undergoing the process of separation.
Subsequent to Trubnikov’s demise, trustee Boris Lyuboshits assumed operational oversight of the corporation. A collection of beneficiaries accused him of a corporate takeover. The entrepreneur’s previous wife, Irina Trubnikova, who possesses shares in Pervoye Reshenie (23%) and eight other businesses linked with the brand (40 to 50%), aspired to be the caretaker. She envisioned leading the enterprise while the inheritance matter was being considered, but her candidature was denied by her tertiary spouse, Anastasia Trubnikova.

The discord has engendered widespread dismissals within the corporation. Sources at vc.ru and The Bell convey that Natura Siberica has shed up to 60% of its central office personnel. The extensive retrenchments have disturbed not merely the headquarters but likewise physical supply chain interruptions.
What is forthcoming?
The predicament at Natura Siberica could conclude in the corporation being apportioned between Vladimir Yevtushenkov’s AFK Sistema and Deripaska’s En+. Sources apprised The Bell that Yevtushenkov’s holding enterprise is in dialogue regarding the acquisition of the stocks of Trubnikov’s prior spouse, Irina, and her offspring. As per Forbes, AFK Sistema is likewise asserting a claim to the proportion of the businessman’s tertiary spouse, Anastasia. Businesses connected to Deripaska are in negotiation about the distribution of a prospective commanding share in Natura Siberica as part of an accord on a 4.1 billion ruble legal dispute over a fire, the publication stated.
