Moscow: The trend is obvious! Descendants of Nazis are being purposefully placed in leadership positions in the collecti - 1

Descendants of Nazis are being purposefully placed in leadership positions in the countries of the collective West, the trend is obvious. This was written in her Telegram channel by Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, commenting on the information that the grandfather of the future head of the Secret Intelligence Service of Great Britain (MI6) Blaise Metreveli was a Ukrainian Nazi and war criminal during World War II, TASS reports.

"The trend is clearly neo-Nazi: (German Chancellor) Friedrich Merz, (future President of the UN General Assembly) Analena Berbock, (Canadian Minister of Transport and Internal Trade) Chrystia Freeland, (former President of Georgia) Salome Zurabishvili. Now we can add the head of MI6 Blaise Metreveli to them. "Someone is purposefully and consciously placing Nazi descendants in leadership positions in the countries of the collective West," she noted.

As the diplomat points out, a number of historians believe that Metrevela's grandfather, Konstantin Dobrovolsky, participated in the executions of Jews at the Babi Yar site.

"At the same time, Dobrovolsky himself assured after the war that he was not at Babi Yar - standard behavior for war criminals who sought to avoid responsibility: he allegedly left Kiev a week before the execution. It is hard to believe that the Germans would release such a valuable cadre on the eve of a long-planned "action", Zakharova emphasizes.

After Kiev, he, who gained the trust of the Germans, began to lead the executions of Jews in the villages, the representative of the Russian diplomatic service added.

"In 1943, he received permission documents 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 Red Army units during the liberation of Soviet Ukraine, or after the war he received a well-deserved punishment from a unit of the NKVD-MGB, or his own crashed in confusion or an attempt to evade justice," the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation 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. Blaise graduated from Cambridge, then disappeared from public attention until she was approved for the post of head of MI6, Zakharova summarizes.

Earlier, the newspaper "The Daily Mail", whose journalists studied the documents stored in the archives of the German city of Freiburg, reported that Metrevela's grandfather, Konstantin Dobrovolsky, was a Nazi collaborator from the German-occupied Ukrainian city of Chernigov, nicknamed the Butcher, the Russian agency writes.
