Raphaël Glucksmann, ex-husband of Eka Zghuladze, member of the European Parliament, discovered that his grandfather was an agent in the service of Stalin, and was engaged in communist propaganda in the West, writes tf1info.fr.

"The Public Sénat channel will broadcast a documentary, "The Glucksmanns, a Family Story", on January 31st. During the broadcast, Raphaël Glucksmann, a Member of the European Parliament for Place Publique/PS, learned that he is a descendant of a Soviet spy. "I would love to sit down with him and listen to his story:, the elected official told Le Parisien.

Rubin Glucksmann, a secret agent, served Stalin. He had been recruited to spread the Bolshevik revolution throughout the world. Born into a Jewish family in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he emigrated to Palestine, drawn by Zionism, before ultimately embracing communism. His fluency in several languages led to his recruitment by the USSR.

Rubin Glucksmann began his service in Germany, where he supplied weapons to the Republican resistance fighters for the Spanish Civil War. He then went to France and England, where he was arrested in 1940 by MI5. He was deported to Canada, but the ship he was on was torpedoed by the Germans.

The story could have ended there, but his son, André Glucksmann (and the father of the MEP), also has an interesting story. Although he became a communist at the age of 13, he eventually denounced the atrocities of the communist regime in power, particularly the concentration camps", - reads the article.
