The world-renowned philosopher, psychologist, linguist and researcher, Julia Kristeva, was allegedly a collaborator of the First State Department of Foreign Intelligence with the alias Sabina.
Bulgarian government commission charged with reviewing the files of the country’s notorious Communist-era secret service released a terse document alleging that the Bulgarian-born Ms. Kristeva, who has lived in France since 1966, had served in the early 1970s as an agent “Sabina.”
The mystery only deepened, when the commission, in response to intense international interest, took the unusual step of posting online the entire dossier on Ms. Kristeva.
Julia Kristeva denied being a member of the Bulgarian intelligence services at the time of communism.
