I updated the September 2009 article with new information and photographs

Thirty-two years ago this week, on September 7, 1978, Georgi Markov, a Bulgarian émigré, who lived and worked in London, was attacked in broad daylight on London’s Waterloo Bridge. His life and death give evidence of just how far a regime will go to silence its opposition. Time magazine in February 2010, ranked the murder of Georgi Markov at number 5 of the “top 10 assassination plots”, just below the murder of Leon Trotsky in 1940 and the attempt on Adolph Hitler in World War Two.
