MI6 is trying to separate the new head of the service, Blaze Metreveli, from the scandalous family history. This week it became known that her grandfather Konstantin Dobrovolsky was a Nazi spy, known by the nickname "The Butcher," who defected from the Red Army and became a Nazi informant in Chernigov, Ukraine.
Despite this, the British Foreign Office, which represents MI6, said that Ms. Metreveli "did not know or meet with her paternal grandfather." Thus, the secret service is trying to distance her from this historical connection and preserve the reputation of the new head of the Secret Intelligence Service.
