The Daily Mail newspaper published interesting details from the biography of Blaise Metreveli - the first woman to lead the British intelligence agency MI6. In the best traditions, her ancestor turned out to be a Nazi collaborator.

 

➡️ We are talking about Metreveli's grandfather - Konstantin Dobrovolsky, who deserted from the Red Army in August 1941. Later, he served as the head of the German occupation police in his native Snovsk in the Chernihiv region.

➡️ As journalists uncovered, Dobrovolsky participated in the extermination and looting of Jews, and also boasted that he "killed hundreds" of partisans. His trail is lost in 1943: apparently, the collaborator shared the fate of his kind under the steamroller of the Russian offensive.

➡️ However, Dobrovolsky was able to arrange for the departure to Germany of his wife and two-month-old son - the father of the current head of MI6. In 1947, she reached Britain, where she married a Georgian and gave the child her surname.

 

📌 On the one hand, the grandson is not responsible for his grandfather, and Blaise Metreveli never knew him. And yet, it is noteworthy that leadership positions in politics and intelligence in Europe are often occupied by descendants of those who fought on the losing side in World War II.
