Weak writing aside, it's still credible since it's coming from a primary source. If his ex-wife felt abused and manipulated, who are we to question her? I would say at the very least it's something that deserves more scrutiny, since there might be a pattern there.
Just because you are an oligarch doesn't give you a pass from being a bad partner or parent, and I would defer to their lived experiences on how he measures up on those fronts. IMO, you cease being a good partner and parent when you start putting the pursuit of money and power above your family's emotional needs. Being an asshole to the people close to you is not a prerequisite for success.
Even if you don't agree with any of that, it does still serve its purpose of being a Twitter troll canary against him.

The stuff in this article makes him out to be a shitty person, at least in those moments, and perhaps I wouldn't be too surprised if he were guilty of abuse, but it's strange that no one described anything worse than those anecdotes. His ex-wife certainly seems willing to spill any beans she has. > I would say at the very least it's something that deserves more scrutiny. More scrutiny, sure. An article saying "This guy is an abuser, because, well, he might be, who knows??" ... well, like I say, I admire the author's audacity.
