This is a logistics and distribution hub… for berries? Or that’s just the company name?

Thanks. That’s kind of what I figured but I was too lazy to look it up. I’m also surprised a Russian company that size uses a western name.

Edit: oh they operate in a bunch of places. So that makes sense.

"Wildberries confirmed that operations at both locations had been halted."

Unless berries as a whole became sentient and learned how to speak, I'd venture it's your latter hypothesis that would be right.

Note I said just the name? It’s clearly the name, but what do they distribute?

I think they are a general logistics and distribution company. A cursory search had many news about these attacks describing them as "Russian Amazon".
