Overview
Georgi Ivanov Markov (March 1, 1929 - September 11, 1978) was a Bulgarian dissident. Markov originally worked as a novelist and playwright, but in 1969, he defected from Bulgaria, then a communist state under the leadership of President Todor Zhivkov. After moving to the West, he worked as a broadcaster and journalist for the BBC World Service, Radio Free Europe, and the German Deutsche Welle. He criticized the Bulgarian communist regime numerous times on radio and it is speculated that the Bulgarian government decided to assassinate him, requesting KGB assistance to do so. He was assassinated by a Ricin pellet.
