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

Bles Metreveli made history by becoming the first woman to head the British intelligence service MI6. Her long preparation, experience in a multilingual family, and education at Cambridge have prepared her for this position.

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

Connection with a grandfather who collaborated with the Nazi occupiers

Information about Metreveli's grandfather raises doubts - he was an agent for Nazi intelligence during World War II. This fact casts a shadow over the reputation of the new head of MI6, even though Bles herself never met her grandfather.
