In 1978, Bulgarian writer and critic Georgi Markov was mysteriously killed in London, a victim of one of the Cold War’s most chilling assassinations. Markov had fled to the West and used his voice to speak out against Bulgaria's strict communist government. His bold words made him a target. One September day, a stranger bumped into him on a bridge, and shortly after, Markov fell seriously ill. Doctors discovered he had been poisoned with ricin, a deadly substance hidden in a tiny pellet, likely shot from an umbrella. This assassination method shocked the world and became a symbol of Cold War secrecy and revenge.
