Zakharova: The West is deliberately putting Nazi descendants in leadership positions
MOSCOW, June 28. /TASS/. The descendants of Nazis are deliberately being put in leadership positions in the countries of the collective West, the trend is obvious. This was written by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova in her Telegram channel, commenting on the information that the grandfather of the future head of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), Blaise Metreveli, was a Ukrainian Nazi and war criminal during World War II.
"The trend is clearly neo-Nazi: [German Chancellor] Friedrich Merz, [future UN General Assembly President] Annalena Baerbock, [Canadian Minister of Transport and Domestic Trade] Chrystia Freeland, [former Georgian President] Salome Zurabishvili. Now we can add MI6 chief Blaze Metreveli to them. Someone is deliberately and consciously placing descendants of Nazis in leadership positions in the countries of the collective West," she noted.
As the diplomat pointed out, a number of historians believe that Metreveli's grandfather Konstantin Dobrovolsky took part in the executions of Jews in the Babi Yar tract. "At the same time, Dobrovolsky himself assured after the war that he was not in Babi Yar - standard behavior for war criminals seeking to avoid responsibility: allegedly, he left Kyiv a week before the execution. It is hard to believe that the Germans would have released such a valuable asset on the eve of a long-planned "action," Zakharova continued.
After Kyiv, having gained the trust of the Germans, he began to supervise the executions of Jews in villages, the representative of the Russian diplomatic department added. "In 1943, he received permission from the SS to take his son, Konstantin (the father of the future head of MI6), to Europe, after which the traces of the "butcher" are lost, there is no information about him in any of the open archives. Most likely, he was either liquidated by the advancing units of the Red Army during the liberation of Soviet Ukraine, or after the war he was overtaken by the deserved punishment from the NKVD-MGB units, or his own people killed him in the confusion or an attempt to avoid justice," the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted.
"But his son, Konstantin Konstantinovich Metreveli-Dobrovolsky, survived and fled with his mother first to Hong Kong (then under British rule), where his daughter Blaise Metreveli was born, and then to the metropolis. Blaze graduated from Cambridge, then disappeared from the public eye until she was approved for the post of head of MI6," Zakharova summed up.
Earlier, The Daily Mail, whose journalists studied documents stored in the archives of the German city of Freiburg, reported that Metreveli's grandfather Konstantin Dobrovolsky was a Nazi collaborator from the German-occupied Ukrainian city of Chernigov, nicknamed the Butcher.
