BULGARIEN — Der Kult
BULGARIA — The Cult

Summary/Abstract: Unfortunately, there is still no German-language publisher who would publish the stories of Georgij Markow. They are by their marksmanship and subliminal humor almost predestined for making familiar with everyday phenomena in Markow's original home Bulgaria. Georgy Markov, once a confidant of the Prime Minister and First Secretary of the Communist Party, Todor Zhivkov, decided in the age of 41 years to break with the regime. He emigrated to London in 1969 and became a member of the BBC. In 1978 he was murdered in London by the bite of a poisoned umbrella top. The trigger for the date of the assassination was probably his intention to report on his hunting with Zhivkov - so he had overused the patience of the Eagle Colonel.
