The grandfather of the new head of British intelligence MI6 was Ukrainian and had the nickname Butcher

Blez Metreveli became the first woman to head the British Secret Intelligence Service MI6 in the history of this agency. The woman turned out to be the granddaughter of Konstantin Dobrovolsky - a Ukrainian who collaborated with the Nazi occupiers. Metreveli prepared for this position for a long time, growing up in a multilingual family and successfully studying at Cambridge.

When it became known at the beginning of this month about her appointment, it seemed that MI6 had done its job. Its legendary verification services managed to keep secret everything related to what was undoubtedly the amazing double life of Metreveli.

As for Metreveli's grandfather, information has emerged that he was an agent of the Nazi intelligence in the region during World War II. Dobrovolsky, known as 'Butcher', deserted from the Red Army and worked for the benefit of Germany and Hitler, which casts a shadow over Metreveli's reputation, although she never met her grandfather.

Blez Metreveli became the first woman head of the British intelligence service MI6, but her reputation may be tormented by the connection with her grandfather who collaborated with the Nazi occupiers.
