Communist Party and State Security

• State Security Major General Konstantin (Dicho) Atanasov. A question for the MP. Konstantin (Dicho) Ivanov Atanasov, born in 1922 in Nikolaevka, Varna region, was a State Security major general: in 1964 he became head of the intelligence directorate, from 1977 to 1983 he was ambassador to France, and from 1981 to 1990 he was a member of the Communist Party Central Committee, according to Wikipedia. We met the claim that he is the MP's grandfather only in an automated search report that names no source; we found no publication that confirms or rules it out. The MP was born in 1993 in Sofia; what we can show the two have in common is the surname. Our question to Atanas Atanasov: is Major General Konstantin (Dicho) Atanasov your grandfather? — Wikipedia (Bulgarian), National Assembly, profile
