Georgi Markov

Georgi Ivanov Markov (March 1, 1929 - September 11, 1978) was a Bulgarian dissident who was assassinated in London by agents of the Bulgarian secret police assisted by the KGB. On September 7, 1978 he walked across Waterloo Bridge, which crosses the River Thames, and was waiting at a bus stop on the other side, when he was jabbed in the leg by a man holding an umbrella. The man apologized and walked away. Markov would later tell doctors that the man had spoken in a foreign accent.
