There has been much contention over Andropov's family background.
According to the official biography, Andropov was born in Stanitsa
Nagutskaya (modern-day Stavropol Krai of Russia) on 15 June 1914. His
father, Vladimir Konstantinovich Andropov, was a railway worker of Don
Cossack descent who died from typhus in 1919.
His mother, Yevgenia Karlovna Fleckenstein (none of the official sources
mention her name), was a school teacher who died in 1931. She was born
in the Ryazan Governorate into a family of town dwellers and was
abandoned on the doorstep of a Finnish citizen, a Jewish watchmaker,
Karl Franzevich Fleckenstein, who lived in Moscow; he and his wife,
Eudokia Mikhailovna Fleckenstein, adopted and raised her.
Later research has shown that many details about Andropov's biography
were largely falsified during his lifetime which has contributed to the
confusion connected to his family history.
