BULGARIA-BRITAIN-RUSSIA-INTELLIGENCE-CRIME-MARKOV
British Annabel Markov (C), the widow of late Bulgarian dissident Georgy Markov, Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev (R) and Bulgaria's first democratically elected President Zhelyo Zhelev (L) attend the inauguration of a statue of Georgy Markov in Sofia on November 11, 2014. Markov's murder in London in 1978, known as the ''umbrella killing'', has gone down as one of the most daring and extraordinary crimes of the Cold War. The prominent journalist and playwright fled communist Bulgaria in 1969 for Britain but continued to lambast the regime in reports for the BBC and Radio Free Europe. While waiting for a bus on London's Waterloo Bridge on September 7, 1978, he was jabbed in the leg by a passer-by and later told his family that he saw this person drop his umbrella.
